Pic of the complete door will help as it might identify the manufacturer. A lot are made by Hartal. A few on eBay. Also search dometic caravan door hinge.

Is it this one.


also.. look at this thread .. https://wildcamping.co.uk/threads/ellbee-white-triple-section-door-hinges.83218/
Thanks for that!

I looked at the OLeary one but the measurements are wrong by 10mm - although it does depend on what they are measuring…..

I might drop Billsunhinged an email 👍

Try an engineering place they may be able to weld it back together if you can get it off.

Thank you all for your help!

I have emailed Billsunhinged ( love that name 😂) and will await his reply.

O’Leary’s seem to have second-hand ones in stock @ £29.99 plus £9.99 postage. Hmmmm… 😔

I am thinking that a new one from him is better value than a second-hand one that might already be fragile along that bend.

I fitted a new hinge from Billsunhinged a few months ago on my sisters Eldis.
Very quick delivery and easy job.

Ordered from Billsunhinged on Tuesday evening and it arrived this morning - which was a surprise as it was sent via Royal Mail (who put it through the letterbox despite it supposed to be signed for)

Just got to get my son to shoe-horn the fitting into his very busy schedule 😏😂
Pleased it's all sorted. Just tell your son if he can't fit you in I'll bring my van up and he can work on that 😉
