sneaky_ho 1 Report post Posted December 16, 2013 HI,After 2 years, my toilet glass door hinge is now producing a loud cracking sound whenever I try to open the door and it is getting louder by the day. I have tried lubricating the hinge but does not seemed to help. I read from forum that the hinge may have worn out and needs to be replaced.Does any have this experience and how do you go about fixing it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Total is $160.50 for two hinges with GST. The trouble is that this problem is likely to resurface again later due to wear and tear of the plastic sleeve at that joint that would wear off. Wondering if anyone have such experience and are there more lasting hinges out there that do not use plastic sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
