[QUOTE=Daquenzer;2296801]Called Airstream and they couldn't tell me the type of European hinges for my 2017 International Serenity; nor where to buy them.
So I need a hinge for my long interior closet door (larger). I lost a screw on the inside of one. It still is holding together by one screw. Can't find a replacement screw that size. And I want the hinge because if I lose another screw (no pun intended) I will have a problem.
So where do you get these these hinges, and what kind of hinge is on the interior door?

As a cabinetmaker I am familiar with "Euro-style hinges.
There have been several good suggestions in this thread as to where to find them.
However, I'd like to make a few points:
While these types of hinges share several similarities, they are not always interchangeable.
The main difference would their "pivot points". So, having different hinges on the same door might not work.
I believe your wardrobe door is long enough to have three or more hinges.
Because it might be difficult to find an exact match for your hinge, I'd suggest taking the hinges off of one of your smaller, probably lower doors. Use one to replace the problem hinge and keep one for backup.
Then shop for another pair of hinges to replace the ones you removed–best would be Blum which can be found on Amazon, leevalley.com, etc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, the "base plates" for these hinges ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
MAKE SURE YOU ORDER BOTH THE HINGES AND BASE PLATES.
Lastly, you want "FULL OVERLAY" self-closing hinges( meaning the door fully overlays the front edges of the cabinet). You can use either 90º or 120º swing, but don't mix them.
Also, you want a hinge that fits the 1⅜"(35mm) bore on the back of the door.
Good luck.
Dave

"Also, Highland Hardware is the correct name of the company in Atlanta."
Used to be Highland Hardware.
Now their site says Highland Woodworking. Sorta surprised me too as a long time customer.

Time marches on and once again, I’ve been left behind.
The name change to Highland Woodworking makes a lot more sense. It’s been several decades since they transitioned from being a traditional hardware store to an exclusive woodworking emporium.
Thanks for the update!

Lots of options on Amazon if you can match the pics to your hinge. I ordered one for a corner kitchen cabinet i couldn’t find locally. Good quality
Just search European hinge...

I found the exact hinges I need from a source that stated they were for Airstreams after 2015. So I'm good. Got them yesterday.
