Need door hinge for older style Magnet kitchen (base unit)

usignuolo

We have an older style Magnet fitted kitchen ("Old English White")(style with larger kick panel below the base units although this may be irrelevant). A couple of the base unit doors have slipped their hinges and the hinges need replacing. I assume all the Magnet kitchen units at the time had the same hinges.

I have looked on Espares and cannot find anything which looks a match. There are the same style Magnet door units for sale on Ebay but it is not clear if they include the hinges or indeed if these can be removed.

Anyone had this problem?. Who stocks these hinges and what they are called technically? Or is there an alternative available?

Slipped their hinges?. Is the hinge damaged or detached from the door or carcass?

It's hard to describe but the hinge, which I think is a 160degree opening hinge,is set into the door with a simple slot on the door side and a complicated mechanism on the base unit with a curved bar jons the hinge from door to base unit and moves to allow the door to open and close. This has slipped its housing and will not go back, seems to need a replacement hinge.

Some kitchen cabinet hinges can be clipped on and off.
