The internet's only forum dedicated to vintage steel kitchen cabinets from 1945-1965 -- the #1 go-to site for all buyers and sellers. And new -- a section where Retro Renovation readers can buy and sell other vintage items.

Is it possible to remove and replace a hinge on one of the cabinet doors? We have one that is starting to go bad; probably breaking down after years of use.

I cannot see any obvious way to remove the hinge and even if I could I don't know if there is a replacement.

Thanks,

Hmmm. Without looking at it, I couldn't say. If it were me I might:

- Haunt the ReStore/Habitat for Humanity for a replacement door and hope the decorating gods send it my way
- Move the wearing-out door to another cabinet I don't use so much

Hmmm. Can you send us a photo somehow of the hinge/door in question - is it even possible to get a photo without risking something.

Another reader had a good idea/trick relative to drawer pulls. Maybe someone has a solution to this....
