Default Best metal for a rivnut in an aluminium door?

I've used mine quite a bit and found it ok. You must be very strong if
you've managed to destroy it - as you can easily 'feel' the rivnut
compressing.


Mine were stainless steel rivnuts, given it was holding a banister rail
and that I'd never used them before, I might be guilty of
over-tightening them "to be sure".
