This is one a strange request, but one that has stumped me.
I have a large fish tank at home. To access the top of the tank for cleaning and feeding, there are 5 hardwood doors that can be propped open by these plastic and metal catches. They are similar to chest hinges, but the forces go in a different direction. These have to support the entire weight of the doors, not partially as occurs with typical window seats, chests, etc...
Here's some pictures of the present hardware:

The problem is that the doors are rather heavy, and I haven't found a hinge system designed to hold that weight in that direction.
If someone knows a source for the original plastic and metal stays that are presently on the doors, that would be OK too, but I can't figure out what they are called, much less find a source for them.
Thanks.
