how can a broken hinge be repaired?

It looks like you could repair it yourself. The hinges appear to just have screws. If not, call the manufacturer help line to see what they advise.

Funny you should ask. I had a hinge issue as well. But lucky for Amazon / Simpli Home, I have a very handy husband who was able to rectify the problem (which, there should not have been a problem in less than a month's time). But so far, the problem seems to have been solved.

Hi Joe...mine came with instructions, not to mention it was easy because I was replacing existing hinges so I could look at those to see how to properly fit them. At one point when the hinge closed prior to installation, I did research them to see how to get them apart. I looked on their site. Here is a link to the Blum site with links for instructions and contact information: http://www.blum.com/us/en/02/30/20/. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

not without changing the hinges......would be a lot of trouble unless you are putting up a new door !!!

Since B&D makes the opener I would contact them directly. I'm not familiar with the repair parts or process.

You would need to disconnect the panel by removing the metal hinge. It is not designed to do that but may be worth the effort.

yes probably. it was just the black cone-looking handle that snapped off. You could perhaps drill some holes in the bottom 'Ring" and screw it to a board. Hard to explain but I was drilling hinges so was hard to clamp it flat with the hinge having it's part protruding.

I had a different model Norcold but when I called the company with questions about the hinge, they were very helpful. The company is actually Thetford and you can call them at 1-800-543-1219. Hope this helps

We have a 2007 safari track. The door fell off the fridge. The new hinge works freay

Thanks for asking. Most of the Wizard-type products being offered have weak plastic hinge joints which is the cause of many hinge breaks and renders the unit useless. Two years ago we made expensive investments in upgrading our Wizard hinge joints with a plastic material that is steel-like and much less susceptible to the breakage that other Wizard-like product are. Plus we have a one year repair-or-replace warranty and a lifetime warranty on parts. No other seller can make that support claim and mean it. See our reviews for proof. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Jose Calero, President, LapWorks, Inc.

I don't see why not - if you do though it can't easily be re-attached as it is just a flap type hinge and to remove you would need to cut it off.

Unfortunately the hinge areas are stamped plastic--not actual articulated plastic hinges per se. I'm afraid that's likely an indication long-term usage isn't an option with this particular one, either.

Try a penny or a small flat tip screwdriver and gently lift at the seam. It should open easily.

Mine did this after some use. Here's what I did. Open the door all the way and use pliers to move that flimsy hinge at the bottom slightly to the right. Gently. It's really of poor quality. Now the door closes all the way. Clever me.

Hey Sonny I don't think you can remove the hinge off with out breaking it. I think you would have to ask the seller if they make an older Vent and try attaching a picture this is what I did when I first purchased the Vent. Also make sure you give them the year and make of your Trailer or RV my friend. I hope this will help you God Bless

I asked customer support, they responded to put two tabs at the top. There are some faint arrows on the side that should point towards the hinge.
