Who makes the 3 leaf door hinges for circa 2013?

Post by MarkB »

Had a little bit of a mishap with the door, luckily didn't damage the door but a couple hinges bit the dust. Anybody have any ideas who makes these hinges? Doing a search and haven't located them yet. Anybody know when BF is going to start operations yet?!!!

Thanks for any tips!

The door is likely an Hehr product. You can contact them here:

Hehr gave me a list of their suppliers. Here they are, no hinges yet but good source of parts.

The strap has broken that holds the exterior door, I'm filling the track of that strap the rubber weather strip runs through with G-flex from West Systems. If all goes as planned the strap should be much stronger.

This place seems to be the supplier for Hehr entry door hinges. Might want to contact them with a photo of you hinge and see what they say.

I did that Bill, sent them a pic and explanation and thought they'd be a good prospect also. Haven't heard back yet. Think the epoxy job is going good but would still buy the hinge if it was available.

The door is actually a Dexter. They are looking to see if they have the hinge, the lady said they haven't ordered in a while. Everybody cross there fingers!

It was Dexter. They do have the hinges, or the hinge that interchanges. The lady said they were having some kind of difficulty and the hinge they do have would interchange. And the best part, only $20 ea. I'll post up if there is a part number when they arrive. They had to know left or right hand opening and the radius at the top corners had to be 6". If it is 4" they do not have the hinge.

Hinges showed up today. Work like a charm, direct replacement. Part # 8976R-03 for a right hand door, from the outside hinges are on the right, latch on the left. Did you ever realize how much the value of your RV drops without a door?
