Where can I buy hinges that hold the cabinet doors open?

[hedgehopper]

The hinged doors on the cabinets next to our cabover bed do not stay open by themselves. (The cabinet doors are in a horizontal plane when closed and in a vertical plane when open.) Where can I buy hinges that will hold the doors open? We have a 2002 Northern Lite 10-2 CD.

Rockler.com has many different cabinet hardware items that may fit your needs.

Look on eBay for the metal spring supports. I found several on there when I replaced one of mine.

I got mine at CW , an exact match to what NL put in my 13" 10-2. Look at the ones in the kitchen area cabinets, that size worked fine for mine.

markchengr,

That sounds like it might be what I'm looking for. But the link doesn't work. Could you recheck it please?

I used these. They're the same as the ones Northern Lite uses on their overhead cabinets. They work great and you only need one for each door. Don't know why they didn't put them on there in the first place. -Mark.

I have seen a simple spring used. One screw in each end for mounting. Mounts like the Camping World support. Because it is a spring, when the door is open, you simply push the center area of the spring in and it closes the door. The springs are about 3/8" to 1/2" in outside diameter. The come in different lengths and available at most hardware stores.

They have a very large selection of lifts. Yes even small ones and ones for my tailgate on a Dodge caravan.

Camping World also carries some. We have to replace one on a cabinet over our kitchen sink. Check the length and the pressure carefully. The C.W. we were in did not have exactly what we needed so we are hopeful another location will. Cost was about $20.

This is what I use. They work very well for me.

Sounds like the same cabinets that my AF811 has - the cabinets on the floor of the cabover, on each side of the mattress.

The product above is what's used on my camper.

Overhead doors, possibly some spring load assists?

I would start my search at Lowe's or Home Depot. If they do not have them they might be able to steer you to someone who does have them.
