Brass vs Steel Hinges (For Internal Doors) Feedback
I'm in the process of building a house in the country and am going with
that "rustic" hardware throughout the house. Has anyone have any feedback on going with steel door hinges (oil rubbed bronze) vs. the brass door hinges (oil rubbed bronze) for all the internal doors? The steel hinges are substantially cheaper but I'm looking for any problems down the road. Thanks. Chris |

All doors in my house, condo downtown, cabin in the woods have 3 brass hinges with screws in every mounting hole. Tony |
