Does wheatley repair boxes with bent lids and broken springs or hinges ? Does any body sell repair parts? I have several boxes that have one or two messed up
doors. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks & Best, Paul

Paul,
A couple years ago I contacted Wheatley about fixing a box my wife bought me. I told them it was a special box and they agreed to fix it. I suggest you contact them and discuss your situation. Good luck, Bill

Hi there.... if you visit richardwheatley.com there is an email contact form to allow you to get in touch. I understand that they will repair boxes - but only
in any spare time that they may have. You might like to visit my website (www.richardwheatleymuseum.org) to find out more about the history of this company as
they approach the 150th Anniversary of the founding it (2010) Hope this help flyboxfan

I recently contacted them through their website about my 25+ year old Wheatley box that had a broken lid. They gladly sent me the replacement parts to do the
repair, also offering to have me send the box to them to do it. To my surprise the replacement parts were identical to what was on my old box. You're not
going to get this kind of service from Fumikaka boxes.

I needed a new stud for a swingleaf box. I emailed wheatley, they responded right away, and the stud is on the way, with their compliments. Nice company to do
business with.
