cabinet stay

[worsley947]

Hope someone can help me, I am looking for a what I think are cabinet stays
I have a customer who has a 1970 style bookcase with a drop down leaf in the middle.
He has broken both stays and also the piano hinge on the flap
Are they called stays and where could I get a pair from
Many thanks
Dave

Yes they are called that; widely available eg from here: http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/FH?st=cabinet stay

Or you could try Sugatsune, they do Japanese hardware and have some innovative stuff, have a look at their 'Torque' hinges.
