IKEA cabinet door hinge broke mid-dinner party last Saturday

I was reaching for a plate in front of three guests and the whole door just dropped off the cabinet. The plastic clip thingy snapped clean in two, no warning at all. Has anyone found a metal replacement that actually holds up or am I stuck buying a whole new hinge set from them?

Man my buddy's hinge did the same thing mid taco night.

Wait, wasn't that a hinge problem on the older model though? Pretty sure the new ones got a different build.

Wrong, its the STRIM line that's defective, check your serial number.
