Stainless steel butt Hinges ahve their natural corrosion resistance keeps them functional in damp or corrosive atmospheres.
304 stainless steel is over 300 times more resistant to rust than galvanised mild steel. They are tough too – Stainless steels are up to 30% stronger than mild steels of similar thickness. Whilst there is something uplifting about the glint of brightwork on a wooden boat, polished stainless steel is also finding its way into the home.

For the rest of us the MC-JM63G may fit the bill. A Neodymium magnet provides a powerful attractive force, even through the hermetically sealed polyacetal plastic casing. It can be combined with the MC-JM49 316 polished stainless steel magnetised counterplate for a complete marine solution. For cleanroom use, the hermetically sealed MC-JMP45 may fit better.
