My Compact has the piano hinge on the door BUT it also has 3 "L" hinges for the screen door to attach. The bottom one is broken through the screw holes. Is there a company that offers new hinges as a whole unit or can you buy just the "L" pieces and replace as needed?

I haven't found replacements but you could have one made. Installing it would involve pulling that LOOOOOOONG pin. Luckily, it's the bottom hinge.

The hinge pin loops would be the hard part.

PO cut those L brackets off on my project Airflyte. Now I have a gap. I tried buying the entire hinge from another member on the other board but deal didn't happen. I think I will have pull the pin and fabricate.

The easiest and fastest way to remove the hinge pin is to chuck it in to a cordless drill. Spin it while removing or installing it and it is a breeze.

Here is a guy who parts out vintage trailers in the Mojave Desert in So Cal and he ships now. I bet he has a complete hinge set up for you.
