Yes, I have the exact same problem on my Lidl cabinet from 5 or 6 years ago. Over the past few months the black plastic part of the hinges has been shattering and bits falling inside the cabinet. I am wondering where to get suitable replacement hinges?

Despite this I might still buy a second one this year if I can still find one, maybe there are supplier contact details inside to buy some new hinges.

I contacted Lidl customer service and they referred me to Optimex in Germany their reply was:

"This item or spare parts for  this item are no longer available. So we can not offer replacement hinges."

The closest hinges I've found are Hafele glass door hinges cat no 361.71.338 but these are very tight on the glass edge and needed at least 0.5mm filed of the casting (at the weakest point)

Also 3 of these cost over £16 with postage so a set of replacement hinges is over half the price of a complete cabinet. 

I wonder if the failure is some form of metal fatigue over time as the hinge is actually under stress even when closed .

If anyone is interested I have two wrapped units in my Garage 

Hi, I bought a couple of these cabinets about 6 years ago and about 3 months ago a hinge snapped across the casting since then a further 3 have snapped in the same place. it's not as if the doors are constantly being opened, has anyone else had this problem.
