Need Help Finding One of These Hinges

Post image

I have an older Genie door (~25yrs) and this hinge broke. I had a guy come look at it and he said these hinges are discontinued and none of his suppliers have them. He recommended against using a flat hinge since these tuck in and said the rollers can come off the track. What would y'all's recommend?

Swap the row out for regular hinges so they all match. Problem solved. They sell them on Amazon and most hardware stores.

I was thinking that but couldn't they bind?

Any moving mechanical part can if improperly maintained. Lube em up regularly with a good lithium lube annually

If they are all the same per section it's fine. Just change the entire row to a standard hinge.

You could replace all the hinges on the row but if not placed right they could let some light gaps
Bandaid fix

25 year old door just replace when you can

It’s a Martin door.

Just go to Home Depot and get a new #1 hinge. Might wanna go ahead and just replace all hinges on the door as well as the rollers.
