Lane Cedar Chest Hinges

We have a Lane cedar chest, style 482068. Anyone have any idea what kind of hinges we need for the part that supports the tray? I attached a photo here. Thanks!

 

I have no idea of the style of mine, but the internet suggests it might be the same/similar to yours. If the photo below looks familiar, let me know and I'll take shots of the tray hinges.

(please excuse the striped bit of fabric that it is currently protecting the top from the claws of an old cat -- who needs to make the jump to the bed in two moves instead of one)

 

I’d love to see pictures of your hinges! Thanks!

 

I don’t know how to do that from my phone.

 

If you need a different shot, just let me know!

 

Great idea! Thanks!

I did contact the company about the lock and the hinges. They had no clue regarding the hinges.

 

Awesome! Thanks! Any idea what that style of hinge is called?

 

Not a clue, but @verybrad may know!

 

Thanks! Still new to this! Hubby is hoping to refinish the chest — trying to do my part to help!

 

I did not see your pictures before -- yours is different. Don't know if that will make it easier or harder to find, but someone will be along who knows what they're talking about.

 

I only just posted them a little bit ago. I appreciate your pictures, though! My husband seems to think the hinges we need are probably the same. Hopefully @verybrad might have some insight! Worth a try at the very least!

 

Not sure they have a specific name. Found a patent for a hinge and tray support that was much more complex than this one. Could not find any replacements available anywhere using multiple search terms.

 

Me, either! I’m starting to think this is a lost cause.

 

I just found this picture of a different chest. I wonder if these could be the hinges I’m after? Anyone know what they’re called?

 

MJG, this place seems to have some options - don't know if this helps:

The last chest I restored I found those type hinges at home depo or lowes (cant remember which)

 

At one point in time many, many moons ago, Lane hope chests were built with a
lid-closing "system" which automatically "locked" when closed.

That was problematic if a child climbed into the chest and shut the lid. If the lid had fully closed down, the chest could not be opened from the inside so a child couldn't climb back out of it.

At some point Lane started making the "closing system" on their hope chests "child-proof" so that the "closed" chest could be opened from the inside.

I'm wondering if someone attempted to change/modify the lid supports/locking system on the hope chest so that it met the "child safety" standard(s).
