Could use some help. I made a purple Martin house which calls for hinged doors. The only hinges I can find rust out after a year or so. Real brass costs a kings ransom. Does anyone know a supplier for stainless steel hinges or something like them? Need them 3/4 by 2" or so. Thanks!

You could use some galvanized utility hinges.

If you need butt (leaf) hinges in either brass or stainless, stainless would likely cost more than brass.

If you are looking for stainless steel hardware, usually the best place to look are boat/marine supply companies. I am not saying they are the cheapest, but the generally have a decent assortment of stainless steel hardware.

You might also try a real hardware store. You could look online and compare prices. For marine supply outlets, they could also be called a 'chandlery'.
