Finding a hinge that matches what was on the door.

Is this the nickel w/spring hinge you are looking for ?

Yes, I was able to find the spring loaded version, here is a link to the best price that I can find:

Thank you.

By the ones with the spring and rip out the spring, or cut off its end.

If the hinge pin comes out, that should be easy, but even if it doesn't.

OK How about this one ?

Thanks, but no. Pay attention the hole pattern, they are not the same. Holes should line up with:

You are likely going to need to buy the white ones,have them stripped and plated

breaker - the door CAN be re-drilled.

The doors are steel w/machine threaded screws. Don't want to try and change that placement of the screws ?

Have had to do it in the past.(worked for 2 window/door companies) Install screws in existing holes to make sure the threaded plate doesn't move, re-drill and re-tap. Perhaps countersink 2 existing holes that won't be re-used and permanently install flush screws to hold the plate. (often 2 holes on each leaf WILL line up)

I guess he could try spray painting the existing ones and see if it might be good enough. Nothing to lose.

Just tell your wife the current hinges are really just fine- and that reflected glare from those new ones would make her look 10 years older and 20 pounds heavier.

Problem solved...

Finally broke down and painted the hinges after I cleaned them really well. The first one looks good ! I did finally find an article on Benchmark doors, appears they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2016. So my my guess is that all the hinges that are available are surplus inventory ?

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Good to hear my suggestion is working.
