Range Hood Vent
As they tend to do, the flap in the Hengs range hood vent on my Rockwood has broken. I understand they’ve discontinued that model so I’d like to get some recommendations on a replacement.
This is what I have

I see this one has very good reviews and I like the clean look, but its a bit pricey

Any other models I should consider?

Wow, both are very pricey. Is Canada that much more? What broke, the hinge pin on the flap? If so do you still have the flap? Mine broke and I made new pins by taping on a length of coat hanger. In any case it should be easy to replace the entire assembly. Shop it a bit more.

I suspect both are shipped from the US and shipping up here, including cross border duties, is always expensive. You have to figure in the exchange rate, too, which is around 30% these days One or twice a year I order from Amaazon.com and cross the border to pick up the order. (We have relatives who live 15 minutes from the border so I submit those orders when we’ll be visiting them.)

Yes, the pins on the flap broke. That’s typically how they fail. I still have the flap liked in place.

IF you still have the flap you can pretty easily repair it with tiny brass jewelry box hinges and it will be good from now on.
I have photos in a long ago post showing how I did that.... I'll see if I can find the old post and er..... re-post it.

See my post #5 in this thread-->
http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...fix-15553.html
Good luck!
PS- I wanted to be proactive on my current rig so I removed the pins and added the hinges before they broke and lost the flap.
Note in my post from years ago I got 4 hinges and still had the remaining 2 years later to make this improvement.

Thanks, Dan!! The old vent is yellowing but my DW hasn't complained about it so I'll see if I can find similar hinges and do that repair.
