Q
What are the material differences in stainless steel hinges?

Why do stainless steel hinges rust?
A
Rust usually occurs due to moisture or contact with acidic or alkaline substances. Regular cleaning and keeping the surface dry can prevent it.
Q

Apply lubricant or check for uneven installation or loose screws. Tighten if necessary.
