I wish I had the skills to use a set up like that: I am OK with wood, but metal? No!
Why?
Aldermog, built in 2009, had the modern, cast stainless steel hinges. I took them off to replace the steel set screws holding them to the body and the steel wood screws holding them to the door: both had rusted.
The hinges are polished on the outside, but on the inner faces that are visible when the door is opened they are quite rough. What they need is to be surface milled to a mirror finish....
So, a neat little business opportunity for anyone with the skills. Morgan Door Hinge upgrades, both old and new style and supplying the correct size set screws and wood screws with polished heads.
On Tarka I replaced the screws: they were already starting to rust after just 18 months. But if I could get properly polished hinges as an exchange set....!!
