This article explores the reasons for rust, its implications, preventative procedures, and efficient options to bring back and keep door hinges.
What Causes Rust on Door Hinges?
Rust is essentially iron oxide, a result of the reaction in between iron, moisture, and oxygen. The primary aspects contributing to rust development in door hinges include:

Exposure to Moisture: Rain, humidity, or spills can encourage rust advancement, especially when hinges are made of iron or steel.

Absence of Lubrication: Over time, lubrication can diminish, leading to metal-to-metal contact and increased friction which makes the metal prone to rust.

Poor Installation: Improperly set up hinges that do not fit correctly can trap moisture, escalating the rusting procedure.

Environmental Factors: Outdoor hinges are subject to weather, contamination, and salt air in coastal locations, all of which can speed up rusting.
