I have a children's bedroom set that was mine growing up 30 years ago. I tracked down the drawer hardware as the Kenlin and ordered replacement parts from your web site. Thanks! My question is that the batchelor chest has 2 hinged doors. One of the brass colored hinges has broken and I cannot find an exact (or even similar) replacement. Do you have any thoughts as to where I could look? I can get a picture of the hinge if that would help. Thanks.

Yes, the first step would be to submit photos of your current hardware with dimensions. We can help you research a possible replacement part.

I held a ruler in the pictures but let me know if additional dimensions are needed. In addition, the 2 halves of the hinge are labelled "N08303 KBC" and "N08304 KBC".
Thanks,
Curt

Update: we recently brought in a brass hinge, it is smaller than the original but has the same offset, take a look at SWISCO product code 32-135. |

Also in need of the same two hinges above.
One other question... we were thinking of switching out all the hardware to brushed nickel hardware for our young hinkel pieces..any idea if there is something out there that would work?

It seems like the hinge we have was not a good one. My question is why not replace them with a similar hinge with possibly the same holes???

Attention: Mike from SWISCO.
With this many requests for replacements for the defective hinges for the Young-Hinkle dresser, I am disappointed that your company cannot provide replacements. I have tried unsuccessfully to find a replacement at numerous local hardware and furniture stores. What is the problem?? In anticipation of a useful response, I thank you.
