Title: Stove Top Cover Hinge
Post by: floridarandy on June 23, 2018, 11:56:51 am
Need to replace hinge that is bent and don't want to chance breaking it by bending back without a replacement.

Source other than calling FT?

Thanks

Those are not speciality. Just standard cabinet hardware. Lowe's, Home Depot, internet, local cabinet shop. Not to poo poo FT but that hinge will likely cost you 25.00+ dollars in your hand.

Be careful with that item, those hinge mount points make it easy to break the corian with minimal effort.

Common European style hinge.  Probably not a Blum but that is what you will most likely find.  Replace the pair.  Take the old one with for an exact match.

Interesting ...

You may want to consider removing hinges, placing the two separate pieces on the burner, leaving back down most of the time, removing front one to use burner, thus making the counter top larger.  This is what we did.

If there is a Woodcrafter's or Rockler store close by, take it in there.  They will be able to match.  I think the hinges are Blum or Salice.  The name should be stamped on the pocket side. 

All of the hinges in our 2002 and our present 42 are Blum - Some of the best cabinet hinges made.

Guessing 110 Degree.  ;)

Surprising end to the story. Stovetop hinges in our coach are Salice. A call to Salice America North Carolina resulted in free replacement simply by sending pictures. Hinges came UPS yesterday and EZ install.

Now that's lifetime guarantee.
