Anyone have a good source for piano hing I am the final steps on the the starboard and down to the doors. I can see why they use pianohing instead of the regular stainless three hinges as the it a little more flexable.

It has been my experience when purchasing SS piano hinges in hardware stores, that although the leaves may be some grade of stainless, the hinge pin often is not. So be aware that this sort of hybrid animal exists. Hopefully, a marine supply will know better, but don't make a large bet on that.

Got mine at Rockler.  Bought two of their 6' SS hinges and cut each in half to make the four I needed for the doors on my SR.  I think they were around $27 each.
