Hi Bryan Thanks for your response. Lofra’s response is to demand £85-50p to recitfy on the excuse that the cooker is 2 to 3 years old and is used infrequently in a domestic kitchen. Lofra is well aware of all of this.

As a proffesional engineer I am appaled at the poor design of the door handle fixing. The use of counter sunk screws, thin stainless steel, large clearance holes in the outer glass and the mismatch in countersunk angles between the screw head and the handle spacer all serve to place the metal where it is restrained by the screw head uder great stress. All the standard text books on engineering indicate that failure will occure this this type of fixing. My belief is that Lofra have a problem and need to as you indicate to repair such failures at their expense and to condider a product recall in view of what could happen if the door handle comes of with a hot oven.

Any ideas as to the price of the two side members less the hinges please?
