I hope you will see this post Dennis. Does Salice make a stainless steel European hinge & mounting plate? What about a SS undermount drawer guide? I am doing a set of cabinets that will be on a push boat on the inter coastal waterway. I am concerned about the salt air causing the hinges & drawer runner to rust over time. Am I being to concerned over this? Thanks for your help.

Hello Bob,
Salice does not make not make a stainless steel hinge. Both our nickel plated hinges and Titanium plated hinges however are fully tested in a climatic chamber with levels of moisture and salt spray introduced. Here is a testing report for the Titanium plated hinge and mounting plate. As you can see, the Titanium plated hinges perform exceptionally well in the testing and we have many customers in the boating industry.
The only company that I know with a true stainless steel European style hinge is Sugatsune. Here is a link to their stainless hinge. I believe any Sugatsune distributor can get these for you. Regarding stainless steel drawer slides, I am pretty sure KV and Accuride both offer these in a side-mount slide. I have never seen an undermount guide in stainless. I really don't believe one exists.
Best of luck,
Dennis
