What are bi-fold door hinges made of?

Our bi-fold door hinges are made from rugged stainless steel, to offer the most reliability and durability possible. By crafting our hinges from a hefty metal like stainless steel, it helps guarantee the smooth opening and closing of the bi-fold doors you are working with for years to come.
