Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

Pressed on the door too hard while it was open and bent the hinge past where it should stop. Door doesn't want to close now. In the manual it states in order to remove the door.

To Remove:
1.

Open oven door all the way.

2. Pull forward and down on the hinge latch on each side

Well the hinge latch on the left side won't come down as it must be bent but the right latch will come down. Wife is going to kill me

. Thanks for the help.

Well I managed to unlock the left hinge by lifting the door slightly on that side which enabled me to remove the door from the oven. Now I need to know what hinge to buy.
