Hinge for door above Microwave cabinet
For the life of me, I cannot find the thread that discussed a spring loaded hinge to keep the small door above the microwave cabinet open. Can anyone help?

Yes, you need those hinges!!! It's so nice having that door stay open on its own. I'm still bummed ETI took that cabinet away. Those viewing my trailer really like it as well and were bummed to hear it wasn't available any longer.
Dirk said they were kind of a pain to install, but well worth it.

Hi Laura! I found the hinges at Home Depot and Lowe's. Can you post a screenshot of them already installed?
Regards,

Hi Chris & Patricia, I will be happy to measure for you.
On ours, the lower cabinet is about 12 high on the inside.
The small upper cabinet is about 8-8.5 in the front, but it slopes downward to about 6 - 6.5, due to the roof contour.
I did not realize ETI was installing the small cabinet above the microwave door again.

It is an $$$ option for those who specify, but the space inside remains the same with or without.

Red Dog, This is perfect. ETI will still do this cupboard at a cost. But in fact for us they are doing a cupboard, like yours but one big door and no shelf, ie one big cupboard. We have a specific plan for that cupboard for us.
Thanks much.

We are finding good use for that small cabinet. Right now it's holding rolls of foil, waxed paper, saran wrap, etc. .... and loaves of bread/rolls. Will install the latch when we get home.
