Alan ... bloody hell! I've never thought of that! We'll be doing it from now on ... Jeez, and I thought I was a lateral thinker!
Thankyou!

From memory I think it was about £160 BUT

To tell the tale we left Northumberland in the rain and arrived in Scotland in really rain. The journey was shocking and on arrival we found that the door was ajar about two inches. Completely sprained. I couldn't fathom how. The obvious would have been a massive pothole, plausible given the standing water but nothing in the journey stood out as a "what was that moment."

Pennine refused to repair under warranty stating the mattress toppers as the problem. Could it have been that the frame of the cabin distorted violently and pushed the door open.

We'd previously had the nearside locking button moved back about a quarter inch. Was this the first symptom of hinge trouble?

I was quite contrite when I saw that the replacement door as a spare was more expensive than our whole repair which was two new bed hinges, a new door and a new nearside top rail. Pennine had obviously met me halfway as an act of good faith, so the honest answer is that I can't give you anything like an accurate figure.
They're back in business so a phone call might be the best.

We delivered and collected. The repairs were, and still are excellent.

Sorry I can't help more, other than that have you any small engineering works or prefabricators in the area. That would mean you removing the hinges so ordering two self fit might be the best option if you're a far better D>I>Y man than me. Pity LobyDosser's so far away I'm sure he could make you a pair out of spaghetti.
