Hinges for hatches

I found a local source for solid brass hinges.  Ace Hardware.

Hi Bob, I had difficulty in locating those nice style brass hinges but eventually located some complete with brass screws!!!  However, while fitting them, I thought to myself that these were really strong screws for brass, so I got a magnet and checked them…   They were all mild steel brass coated. I had to replace them all with Stainless steel as they would have rusted real quick.  Please do check yours with a magnet.  It might have been just our brand here in NZ.    Good luck, cheers, From a coldish NZ… roll on summertime.

Roy, thanks for the heads up.  The package says solid brass hinges and Steel screws, so I ordered silicon bronze screws from Boltdepot.com.  Just to be sure, I checked the hinges with a magnet and they are fine, but the steel screws did stick to the magnet.
