Butt hinge for aluminium garage door
 

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

True. Try brass or good quality stainless hinges. I had A2 st. st. screws
etc. through the ally racks on a trike that was used in winter. When the
frame broke the trike, with salt still on it, was put in a damp shed for a
dozen years or so. When I dismantled it all the fasteners - and the greased
nipples on the spokes - were easy to undo.
Fire door hinges are usually good and available for different weights.

But only if it gets damp.

I once used pop rivets (aluminium) to secure protective strips to a
sports car wing. The real mistake was using brass washers under the
rivet heads. Moist road salt environment, they lasted less than 12
months.

Someone will chip in with the electrical activity numbers for various
metals:-)

Problem is that it always does on that soggy little island.

So what would you use for an ali door? Casting ali hinges & using ali rivets might be ideal but it's a bit of a faff.

Something like this?

Fixings might be the bigger problem. Will the door skin take a machine
screw thread.

Our swing fly screen doors are almost always aluminium and plated
hinges work fine, with pop rivets used both to attach the high to the
door and the hinge to the metal frame if it has a metal frame.
