Plastic hinge caps for Swedoor internal door

May 14, 2014 7 Replies

My house, built approx 2000, has Swedoor internal doors fitted with snap-in hinges & plastic retaining caps. See attached photos. My labrador puppy has made her mark by chewing (& destroying) one of the plastic caps on the kitchen door.



I'm not having any success finding a replacement yet. I've contacted various door suppliers & Swedoor distributors but so far without success. I'd prefer to avoid having to fit a complete new door!



Does anyone know of a supplier that sells these plastic caps?



Cheers, Mike


I'm afraid you can't attach photos here. You need to provide a link to them somewhere on the web.

Thanks Mike.

Sorry for the Noobie error. Hopefully this will work.

If you include mention of the labrador puppy in your query that may generate a more sympathic response as well . Especially as it may not stop at just one. Possibly you'll end up needing a box of the things.

The hinges are a brilliant design. So easy to remove the door and the rebates can be routed. Should be standard in every home!
