I understand there is a builders model with plastic hinges & a showroom model with metal hinges which ones does this unit have.

I purchased three of these earlier 2013 and all three have metal hinges. It is a nice product, we surfaced mounted, but they can be set flush as well.

This particular model has simple screw in hinges. Even flow makes another model that stays in place by pressure.

To be honest, it was 2 or 3 years ago so I don't remember. But what I can't believe is that our cabin was built 50+ years ago and we were still able to find the exact hinges and I mean exact. We were able to add cabinet space with the same theme. Quality is good as well.

It has a left and a right plastic hinge that only opens 180 degrees. When the top sections are loaded with nuts and bolts and the like, the box over-balances and tips. The plastic hinges break piece by piece and I am now down to only one full hinge, the other hanging on by a fingernail. Very poor design.

This comes with the hinges. It's like a three-hole punch system only you screw each post together.

I bought both the ironing board unit and the door so I can't recall in what box the hinges and magnetic latch were in. I went back to look at the item on Amazon and it does say that the unit comes with hinges but no door. So I would assume that the hinges and the latch come with the unit. I am also making this assumption because my contractor could not locate the hinges and latch when he attempted to put the door on. The door was still in the box but there were no hinges or latch.

Some parts of the hinges are metal (Outside parts) While the actual mechanism is metal/plastic mix. It should be noted that in the year i have had these they still feel and operate like the day i got them. And as a DJ i absolutely abuse these sometime and they just take it.

The main hinge is made of a very strudy plastic material with a steel hinge pin. There are two smaller supporting hinges on each end inside of the lid that are metal.

The thick plastic ones with rivets. Eventually they might break but I have had no issues as of yet and this cooler has now gone from Baja Mexico to the eastern Sierra and everywhere in between. I camp with it at least one weekend a month. It will just be like one of the smaller models where the door has no hinges if they break off. It seals very tightly so it wouldn't be too much of an issue. Also if your handy you could fix it if it bothered you that much. So far great cooler!

Hinges only, but the best hinge you can buy. As for the bookcase build your own or buy a good one.

I checked last night and found the hinges are metal, not plastic like I thought they were. Hope this helps

I bought this one first and then the one with the metal. The one with the metal hinges is way better. You can take them out if you don't need as much support. The other also has more Velcro and stronger straps. Is definitely worth putting a little bit of money out for the other.

No Door hinges, just door handle, and door handle striker plate.Hope this helps!

It has hinges. I would warn though if you sit on it the seams on the top will bust.

Had the same problem. Called manufacturer's customer service and they pointed out that there are actually TWO different kind of hinges. The difference is barely noticeable and not super obvious in the directions, but enough to screw up your doors. Switch the hinges and you'll be good.

Well that's odd. The one I got has plastic shelves WITHOUT holes, and the ramps are plastic as well. Why are there like 4 different versions of this cage being sold on the same listing? No wonder the reviews have varied so much.
