I’ve got an issue where the door hinge of my laundry unit seems to be missing. The place to slot in the pin or rod in the door is fine but the pin is meant to be keeping it in place- it’s not there anymore. I don’t exactly know what brand the unit is it’s from 1997- it’s made of powder coated steel. I’ve attached pics in case anyone can help!
Hi @Cat234,
That's certainly a bother, but I am hopeful that we can find you a replacement.
I've had a look around and based solely on the style of the door handle, it seems like you could have one of these Everhard 70L SS Maxi Laundry Units.
The specifications for this unit note the cabinet width as 645mm, depth as 515mm and height as 870mm. If you can check the measurements against the specifications for this unit, it might help to confirm this.
If we can confirm this is the same unit, then there is mention of hinges and rods being available in the spec sheet, so it should be possible to order a replacement rod. If we can confirm this is the unit, then I'd suggest reaching out to our Spare Parts team. They will be able to place an enquiry with Everhard, get you a price, and arrange for delivery.
Fingers crossed this is the correct unit. Let me know what you find.

ah, so actually the width across the front is 46cm, the depth from front to back to the wall is 61.5, and the height is 84cm. Would that match a smaller model?
As far as I can tell, those measurements don't line up perfectly with any of the current laundry cabinets in their range, but I can certainly reach out to them to see if it matches up with any archival products.
Could you also advise what the height and width of the door opening is? This could certainly help to narrow it down.
ah so the door opening is 58 x 38 approximately! It is an older model- the basin has a sticker on it that says 1997. I’ve attached that sticker in case it helps!
Hello @Cat234
Thank you very much for the extra information about your laundry tub. Just in case you can't find a hinge set, I suggest looking at using a nut and bolt assembly such as the https://www.bunnings.com.au/zenith-m6-x-25mm-316-stainless-steel-round-head-bolt-and-nut-5-pack_p2310743 as a possible alternative. The holes may need to be drilled a little bit bigger, but it should hold the door in place.
We'll check with Everhard and see if they have a hinge set still available for this unit. As soon as we have more information, we'll get back to you.

Thank you for your patience, the Everhard technical team have responded, and they currently only have the steel rod 55cm long "part number 97830", but they no longer have the plastic spacers that work with it. They did mention that this is a very old spare part and can't guarantee a fit with your old unit. If your current door height is less than 55cm there is a good chance that this rod will fit your laundry tub.
If you wish to order the part, please proceed to your local store and speak to the special orders team and order the Everhard spare part "97830". They will quote you the price at the store.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Oh great! Thanks so much ! I’ll double check the measurements and if it seems like it’s going to work I’ll come in and order! Thanks so much again for your help!
