tank and stand door hinges

[apollothesun]

looking to see what you fellow reefers use for door hinges on your canopies and stands. the ones i got from lowes are starting to rust and was wondering anybody found any plastic ones. or maybe the stainless steel ones i haven't come across.

Stainless might work.

Plastic hinges

Outwater Plastic makes plastic hinges. I dont know
for sure if they sell retail. We use them for supplies for
our business. Great company.

Lowes also has stainless steel hinges for a very reasonable price. They are in a slightly different place than the rest of the hinges so ask the nearest associate.
