Spares unacceptable delays again!

The lady at Bailey responded swiftly and advised the exact four hinges I need for my Hartal door.

All four reasonably priced at £35 inc £5.50 p&p.
Sadly the estimated despatch date is 6th October 2025🙉
Three months😵‍💫
Surely Hartal door hinges are common? Whilst not crucial for us , just another job I wanted out of the way before summer end.

No wonder people are moving away from caravanning.

If you know the part number can’t you source it online from another distributor. There seems to be quite a lot advertised on EBay, and caravan/motorhome accessory outlets but obviously the makers part number is required. But “yes” three months is too long a wait, fortunately you are not in a panic to fit them.

They're probably on the slow boat from China - literally!

I may have seen those on leisure shop direct

The hinges may not be caravan specific and could possibly be used in other sectors. If the hinges were only made for the caravan industry the price would probably be astronomical.

These are bespoke to Hartal who are the door and frame makers. I have searched elsewhere and cannot find any “copies”. EBay has the odd one but not the full set.
One more job for the autumn.

Amazing!
Prima Leisure just emailed me.
All four hinges have been dispatched and will be with me next 48 hours.

So why on earth tell me on Monday there would be a three month delay🙃

And the tables turn again!
The hinges have just arrived but with no pins!
Who on Earth sell hinges without the pins.

I think they may be an extra cost? Why didn’t Prima Leisure say so when first wrote to them🤔

Seems to me anything to do with caravans is destined to make our lives more difficult😜😜

Sorry Oh, you asked for hinges, did you ask "with hinge pins" !!!!
How frustrating.
