The garage opening is side hinged with one part being about a normal
size door width and the other being a lot wider.
The lower hinge of the smaller door broke today. It's made of brass.
The door does catch a bit as it's opened but not that much.
Anyway I may as well replace both top and bottom hinges but any tips?
Should I go brass again? Or steel? Rust? Security?
I'll probably pop-rivet into the aluminium door and wood screws into
the side frame unless suggestions are otherwise.
Steel + ali results in much accelerated corrosion of the ali. Not a good
combination
But only if it gets damp.
Problem is that it always does on that soggy little island.
