Hi
One of the doors of the bathroom cabinet has become loose.
The hinge seems to be either broken or slipped out of some socket.
Can this be fixed? or do I have to replace the hinge
Thanks

Hello @nigelfds
Thank you for sharing your question about your bathroom vanity cabinet hinge. Looking at the fourth and fifth photos of the hinge, it appears that part of the rear mechanism of the hinge has given way. These types of hinges can't be repaired, I suggest taking one of the hinges off your cabinet and taking it with you to the store and compare it the ones that are available at the store. In this manner you can be sure that you are getting the correct sized hinge.

Hi Eric
Thanks for the information, I went to my local Bunnings they were unable to identify the correct hinge.
Are you able to tell me which one do I need? I've attached more pictures. (Note the pictures are of a similar undamaged hinge from the same door)
It appears to be similar to these three hinges:
My best advice is to bring your hinge back to the store and compare them side by side. Look at it in the folded configuration and the open released position. Check that the foot size of the hinge (the circular part) are the same size. I propose bringing one set home and opening the packaging carefully so that you can return the hinges to the store if they are incorrect. Please note that both hinges must be replaced as it is not universal or compatible with your old hinge.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
