I am in need of replacement hinges for the "ice box" door on the chest shown in attached photo. I believe it possibly is Swisscom part number 32-338 with 3/8? offset. Are these or suitable alternative hinges still available? Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks for contacting us! I'm very familiar with this part. It's the old Young-Hinkle hinge which was discontinued years ago. We don't have an exact match, but I believe our 32-135 can work as a replacement. While smaller than the original, the offset is the same and I think you may be able to adapt it to work with your ice box door. See what you think.

Also looking for replacement hinges for ice box door on Young-Hinkle bedroom furniture. Wondering if your recommendation for substitute replacement is still the same here in Jan 2024. Thanks

Thanks for reaching out to us. To be perfectly honest, I'm not at all optimistic that our 32-135 can work for this cabinet. Since my post back then, we actually (miraculously) found a box of these hinges and were able to supply them briefly. In that short time, I had some more hands on experience and realized that there wasn't really anything in our inventory that could work in the same way.

Naturally, that box emptied out almost as soon as we got it. These just aren't made anymore, and as far as I know that box was the last I'll ever see of this part. There's just nothing else in our inventory that would work in its place, either. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
