A friend has bought a toy kitchen for her children for Christmas second hand and one of the doors is broken without a hinge (a pivot hinge I think?). They tried the local hardware shop and they said it’s a bespoke part and I called the manufacturer (Great Little Trading Co) but they said because it’s an old model they no longer stock the part. Can anyone suggest where she could source something similar? Or what else to do to affix the door (obviously too late for tomorrow but she’s hoping to give for 12th night as that’s when they give gifts).
Can’t find part for toy kitchen

For me easiest would be, fill the area it screws to. Drill a hole and insert a small dowel
Take the hinge of the top part, insert dowled end directly into "hole", insert removed hinge into the other hole, screw hinge back to door
Spray/paint with some silver if available to match

It looks like the standard part you get on a lot of glass/thin wooden doors for furniture which is probably why they used it (cheap, simple and reasonable strong for that use).
Unfortunately it doesn't look like screwfix do them, and a quick google isn't finding them, but amazon sellers seem to have them (packs of 4 from about £6), you probably want to measure the one that is still on it and get the size of the peg and the thickness of the wood it goes onto to find one that will fit.
