Title: Aquarium stand hardware
Post by: Mussin on May 20, 2019, 17:35:17

I have a 120rr tank with a Jack's stands inc stand. It has these nice double adjustable hinges in the stand.  I'd like to get new ones as there are all corroded and rusty.  Anyone ever seen these or know where I can buy some?

I’m not a hinge expert but Home Depot has a lot of hinges that look like those in your pic.

Nice profile pic! It's a standard cabinet hinge. I'd take one off and take it to lowes so you can try to match the holes up. You can fill the old holes with toothpicks for the new screws to bite into. I need to do the same thing and I plan on painting the new hinges before I install them.

This one looks similar...
