Hinges for Grand Soleil

I have a Grand Soleil 46.3, and I am trying to find a place to buy new hinges for my doors, which are all starting to act up. I'm also looking for the doorhandles, but the hinges are a lot more important right now. Does anyone have any thoughts on where I can find these specific hinges? I have made a few phone calls and checked many many online chandleries. But I haven't found anything so far.

I'm putting in a couple of pictures, they are recessed and fold flat when closed. The pin in the middle seems to fail on them after 20 or so years.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Hinges for Grand Soleil

A lot of times you just need to know what something is called before you can start with a decent search...

That style of hinge is called an "invisible hinge." Not common in the DIY market place because they are such a PITA to install with standard shop tools. Even in most commercial work they have been supplanted by "concealed hinges."

But, here is a link to get you started to see if you can find a size that works for you:
