Hi,
My house, built early 80s, has a fire door into the garage. This and all the other doors are Swedoors fitted with snap-in hinges. The middle hinge on the garage door is one with a built-in spring for self-closing and the spring has finally failed.
I'm having a devil of a job trying to find a replacement, having tried Swedoors and the main distributors . Can anyone point me at a supplier? I'd much rather not fit a standard fitting self-closing hinge if I can avoid it.
Cheers,
Steve S
I have never seen one of these personally, but this any good?

trying to avoid.
I've put a piccy of the offending item here:
I see, so does that screw into the door frame, then the door has some kind of socket this connected to, so it can be removed easily?
Like this one?

The basic idea is that the doors, frames and hinge positions are standard. The door leaf can be replaced in a trice, allegedly.

I saw some of these some years ago and thought "one day all doors will be hung like this", Alas no - we are still in the dark ages. Making the rebate routable is so sensible.
