My house, built approx 2000, has Swedoor internal doors fitted with
snap-in hinges & plastic retaining caps. See attached photos. My labrador
puppy has made her mark by chewing (& destroying) one of the plastic caps
on the kitchen door.

I'm not having any success finding a replacement yet. I've contacted
various door suppliers & Swedoor distributors but so far without success.
I'd prefer to avoid having to fit a complete new door!

Does anyone know of a supplier that sells these plastic caps?

Cheers,
Mike

I'm afraid you can't attach photos here. You need to provide a link to
them somewhere on the web.

Sorry for the Noobie error. Hopefully this will work.

Swedoor are nowadays part of the Jeld-Wen group with HQ in the US. They sposnsor
things and presumably value their reputation

From a translated (Swedish) history page

"In Sweden we have a solid history of manufacturing doors where we trademarks
Swedoor, WST and Jite, has accumulated knowledge in more than 100 years. "

If you include mention of the labrador puppy in your query that may generate a more
sympathic response as well . Especially as it may not stop at just one. Possibly you'll
end up needing a box of the things.

The hinges are a brilliant design. So easy to remove the door and the
rebates can be routed. Should be standard in every home!
