Using steel hinges for your doors is a no brainer – there are significant, long-lasting benefits to using stainless steel for hinges as they have a significantly higher resistance to rust (oxidation) and corrosion from any man-made and natural environments.

Stainless steel also looks sleek and shiny whilst offering tremendous strength. Steel has revolutionised nearly every type of industry, from transportation, medicine, the food industry, as well as construction.

Here are a few of the reasons you should choose a steel hinged door:

Corrosion Resistance

Steel’s high resistance to rust means it has been the choice material for marine applications since its discovery. Stainless steel has a higher resistance to rust than galvanised steel, bronze or brass. When corrosion occurs in stainless steel it tends to be somewhat random and highly localized. Pitting and crevice corrosion will likely develop over time, but a stainless-steel hinge will ensure the materiel stays in good condition far longer than any other material would.

Aesthetic Appeal

Hinges are rarely hidden away, in fact, a lot of the time the hinges are highly visible and are part of the aesthetic quality of a door or gate. For the hinges to remain aesthetically pleasing they need to look good, and stay looking good. Stainless steel hinges are available in a range of surface finishes: these high-quality surfaces make it easy to maintain the high level of shine. It is also easier to clean than other metals, making it the first choice for pharmaceutical, food, kitchens and hospital use.

Temperature resistance

Stainless steel hinges are highly resistant to both high and low temperatures. It can resist scaling while maintaining its high durable strength even at extremely high temperatures. Other varieties of stainless steel can retain exceptional toughness even at cryogenically low temperatures.
