I recently acquired a cabinet from my parents. They bought this
cabinet in the 70's before I was born so it is over 30 years old. It's
quite a nice cabinet with a lot of memories (like when I pulled the
television off the stand when I was 5) so I was more than happy to to
take it off their hands when then decorated the living room.

One section of this cabinet is a bar unit type thing where you can
store drink and glasses. The front of it hinges down to provide a
platform type thing to pour drinks on, it hinges back up again to hide
the glasses and a bottle. (Lousy description I know, best I can do).

Unfortunately in transit to my home, the bindings worked loose and the
bar flap opened up when we went over a bump. It was quite violent and
the hinges broke beyond repair. I can repair the struts and supports
that hold up the flap when its down but not the hinges. I have tried
to find the hinges to replace the damaged ones but I'm unsure what to
look for. So I'm hoping for a little help.

I am UK based so that should be taken into consideration regarding
online and high street sellers.

Many thanks

Although leevalley is good here is a much better source for the UK and
that is Woodfit as they are in Whittle-le-Woods, Chorley, in
Lancashire.
the item under will probably be the one you need.

They ship to Japan so the UK would be no problem. :-)
