What color hinges would go with these? Stainless steel hinges are hard to find would chrome or brushed satin go with these handles? Question #2 - would these handles rust in a tropical ocean air setting? We are about 5 blockes from the Ocean so salt...

Yes - brushed satin would be good. No- they should not rust. I live near the ocean and have had no problem. They still look as good as new!

Likely will rust and have water incursion. Stainless steel grab bars are all I've found to not deteriorate. Those plus a shower chair provide user independence.

SS should be a stainless steel finish (brushed look). The other is chrome, I believe.

They are usually brass and brass doesn't rust. Sounds like you really need to address this issue. This is not something that is normally installed with silicone and I would predict a future failure. Sight unseen, you probably need to access the underside for dis-assembly to do it right. Good luck.

LOL!!! I debated the same thing! Ended up going with the stainless as I thought it matched the kitchen better. No rust issues, heats up very quickly. Not too big, not too small! Just be careful the first time or two when you pick it up by the handle as certain areas on the handle can get hot. Once you get used to that, it's no issue!

My first pair of Joyce Chen scissors rusted. I thought it might be because I was putting them in the dishwasher. So my next pairs I have washed by hand. No rust and they have lasted many years. I think too much water gets into the handle part and does not dry out entirely causing rust.

I have used mine for a couple of years now, outside in the sun too and have had no problem with the hinges, they still look like new.

I live in coastal area also. I've had the item on the exterior of my house for almost a year now. No rust yet.

I don't think they are stainless. They are black like the body of the seat. Maybe black iron. I think they are a common size or could be made to fit. I would go look closer but since it s winter I have all the summer furniture packed away.

Hi Steve, This is a handle stamped Sash Controls, 2265, so this should be a match to your handle. We have this handle set available keyed or non-keyed, in White, Black, Beige, Brushed Chrome, Brass Plated, Bronze, and we have Satin Nickel coming in as well. We have them available in the "B" position (offset) or the "A" position (centered).

To answer your question. So far, there is no sign of rust to the chrome hinge. I've had this seat in use for approx. 6 mos. the chrome looks to be a good quality. I would think if you clean it regularlly , the chrome would last. Hope this helps you out.

As you asked, I went and looked "close" at them in my kitchen. They appear dark oil bronze. But as I look REAL close, I see a little, very little, copper on the hinge area. I am very pleased with the look, as I bought them to match the oil bronze 3 inch handles we put on the cabinets. But, no, I don't see any reddish/pinkish tinge on these hinges.

I have the ones with black handles and put them in the dishwasher all the time. Don't know why the silver handles would be any different unless maybe it would cause discoloration.

If you are looking for a brushed finished then vibrant stainless will be what you are looking for. Whatever you do, do not get chrome. Hope this helps

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

Well, stainless has a bluer look than chrome. It might look nice if you have a chrome faucet. Then those would match. This does come in other finishes as well. I believe stainless is one of the finishes. So it just depends on what you want the look to be.

I've had them out in the South Dakota weather for 1+ years. So far no rust but they lose the shine that it originally was. Still very nice gates though!
