SS Hinges 304G Explained: Why Builders Prefer Grade 304 Stainless Steel in 2026

Builders are not like homeowners.

A homeowner buys one hinge for one door. A builder buys hundreds of hinges for hundreds of doors.

If a builder chooses wrong, they get hundreds of complaints. Angry calls. Bad reviews. Wasted money.

That is why builders are very careful about what hardware they use.

And in 2026, most builders are choosing SS Hinges 304G.

But why? What is so special about grade 304?

Let me explain everything. And if you want the best quality, CROWNISI is the brand builders trust.

What Does "SS Hinges 304G" Actually Mean?

Let me break down each letter and number.

SS – Stainless Steel

304 – The grade of stainless steel

G – Grade (confirms quality standard)

So 304 grade stainless steel hinges means hinges made from 304 grade stainless steel.

Simple, right? But the magic is in that number 304.

Why Builders Prefer 304G – 5 Real Reasons

Reason 1 – No Customer Complaints About Rust

A builder's worst nightmare is a call from a customer 2 years after handover.

"Sir, all my door hinges are rusty. Looks very bad. What did you use?"

With 201 grade, this happens. With SS Hinges 304G, it does not.

Builders have learned this lesson the hard way. Many used cheap 201 hinges to save money. Then spent more money replacing them later.

Now they start with 304G.

Reason 2 – One Time Investment, Zero Maintenance

Builders are not just selling a door. They are selling peace of mind.

A home buyer does not want to think about hinges ever again.

Stainless Steel Door Hinges need no painting, no polishing, no replacement for 20+ years.

Builders can confidently say to customers: "Your hardware will not rust."

Reason 3 – Works in All Indian Weather

India has every type of weather.

Coastal humidity in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata

Dust and heat in Delhi, Rajasthan, UP

Rain and moisture in Kerala, Northeast

201 grade fails in humidity. 304G survives everywhere.

Builders who work across India choose 304G because it works in every climate.

Reason 4 – Handles Heavy Modern Doors

Old doors were light. New doors are heavy.

Flush doors. Engineered wood. Solid core. Fire doors. All heavier than old-style doors.

SS Hinges 304G are heavy duty stainless steel hinges. They do not bend or sag under heavy weight.

Builders know this. They have seen cheap hinges fail on heavy doors.

Reason 5 – Complete Matching Hardware Available

A builder does not want to buy hinges from one shop, tower bolts from another, handles from a third.

CROWNISI offers everything together:

SS Hinges 304G – for all doors

SS Towerbolt 304G – for security

Mild steel handle – powder coated to match

Crown aluminium Door Accessories – stoppers, viewers, letter plates

One bill. One quality. One warranty. One vendor.

Builders love simplicity.

What About Other Hardware? Builders Need Complete Solutions

A builder cannot just buy good hinges. Every door needs a full hardware set.

Here is what builders buy from CROWNISI for each project.

For main doors (heavy duty):

SS Hinges 304G (5-6 inch, ball bearing)

SS Towerbolt 304G (12-16 inch, top and bottom)

Mild steel handle (heavy duty, powder coated)

Crown aluminium Door Accessories (door stopper, viewer)

For internal doors:

Heavy Duty SS Hinges (4 inch, 3 hinges per door)

Mild steel handle (standard)

Crown aluminium Door Accessories (door stopper)

Mild steel handle (with privacy function)

Crown aluminium Door Accessories

For balcony/terrace doors:

Rust-Proof Hinges (4-5 inch)

SS Towerbolt 304G (for extra security)

The 201 vs 304G Test – What Happens After 2 Years?

201 SS Hinge after 2 years (coastal city):

Small rust spots near screw holes

Surface discoloration

May have pitting (small holes from corrosion)

Look: Old and neglected

201 SS Hinge after 2 years (dusty city):

Dust accumulation in crevices

Some loss of shine

No major rust but looks tired

SS Hinges 304G after 2 years (any city):

No rust anywhere

Shine intact

Wipe and it looks new

Look: Like day one

Builders who made the switch never go back.

10 FAQs – SS Hinges 304G for Builders

1. What is the difference between 304 and 201 stainless steel?

304 has 8-10% nickel. 201 has less than 1% nickel. Nickel gives rust resistance. So 304 is much better for doors.

2. Do SS Hinges 304G rust in coastal cities?

No. Grade 304 is designed to resist corrosion even in high humidity and salty air. 201 will rust. 304G will not.

3. Are SS Hinges 304G more expensive than 201?

Yes, about 2-3 times more expensive per hinge. But over the life of a building, the difference is very small.

4. What is the lifespan of SS Hinges 304G?

20 to 30 years. Some last 40+ years with normal use. Compare to 201 which may need replacement in 5-7 years.

5. Do builders need different hinges for different doors?

Yes. Main doors need larger, stronger hinges (5-6 inches). Internal doors need 4 inches. CROWNISI has all sizes in 304G.

6. What is SS Towerbolt 304G?

A heavy duty door bolt made from 304 grade stainless steel. Does not rust. Builders use it on main doors and emergency exits.

7. Is a mild steel handle good for builder projects?

Yes, with proper powder coating. CROWNISI offers mild steel handle that is strong, affordable, and matches 304 grade stainless steel hinges.

8. What are Crown aluminium Door Accessories?

Door stoppers, viewers, letter plates, and pull handles made from rust-proof aluminium. Builders use them to complete each door.

9. Can builders buy CROWNISI products in bulk?

Yes. CROWNISI offers bulk pricing and project supply across India. Contact for wholesale rates.

Why Stainless Steel Hinges Are Replacing Traditional Door Hinges in 2026

Walk into any hardware shop in Delhi, Mumbai, or Bengaluru. Ask for door hinges.

What do they show you first?

Stainless steel.

Five years ago, the answer would have been iron or brass. Not anymore.

Something has changed.

This is why stainless steel hinges are replacing traditional door hinges in 2026.

And if you want the best quality, CROWNISI is leading this change.

Let me explain what is happening.

The Old Players – And Their Problems

For decades, Indian homes used two types of hinges.

Iron hinges

Rust in 1-2 years

Look ugly

Weak and bend easily

Brass hinges

Very expensive

Tarnish and turn black

Need frequent polishing

People accepted these problems because there was no better option.

Now there is.

What Changed in 2026?

Three things happened together.

First – People got tired of rust.

Iron hinges on a main door start showing orange rust within 2 years. After 5 years, they look terrible. After 10 years, they can fail completely.

Second – Brass became too expensive.

Brass prices have gone up 40% in last 3 years. A good brass hinge now costs more than stainless steel. But brass still tarnishes. Why pay more for a product that still looks bad after 1 year?

Third – 304 stainless steel became affordable.

Better manufacturing. More competition. Lower prices. SS Hinges 304G now cost the same as good quality iron hinges used to cost.

Better product. Same price. No rust. No brainer.

Stainless Steel vs Traditional Hinges

Iron Hinge

Rust resistance: Very poor

Strength: Medium

Maintenance: High (need painting)

Lifespan: 3-5 years

Looks after 2 years: Rusted and ugly

Cost: Low

2026 trend: Dying

Brass Hinge

Rust resistance: Medium

Strength: Medium

Maintenance: High (need polishing)

Lifespan: 8-12 years

Looks after 2 years: Dark and dull

Cost: High

2026 trend: Declining

SS Hinges 304G (CROWNISI)

Rust resistance: Excellent

Strength: Very high

Maintenance: Zero

Lifespan: 20-30 years

Looks after 2 years: Like new

Cost: Medium

2026 trend: Rising fast

The numbers do not lie. Stainless steel wins in every important category.

Top 5 Reasons Homeowners Are Switching

Reason 1 – No Rust, Ever

This is the biggest reason.

Iron hinges rust. It is not a matter of if, but when. Rainy season? Rust. Spilled water? Rust. High humidity? Rust.

SS Hinges 304G simply do not rust. The 304 grade has enough chromium to form a protective layer. Water does not affect it. Humidity does not affect it.

You install once. You forget forever.

Reason 2 – Zero Maintenance

Remember how your grandmother used to polish brass handles every Diwali?

No one has time for that anymore.

Iron hinge: Paint every 2 years (2-3 hours of work)

Brass hinge: Polish every 6 months (1-2 hours of work)

Stainless steel hinge: Wipe with wet cloth (5 minutes)

Stainless steel gives you back your weekends.

Reason 3 – Handles Heavy Doors Easily

Modern doors are heavier than old doors.

Old doors: 15-20 kg light wood New doors: 40-60 kg solid wood or engineered wood

Iron hinges bend under heavy weight. Brass hinges wear out faster.

SS Hinges 304G are stronger. Much stronger. They hold heavy doors without sagging.

Reason 4 – Looks Stay Consistent

Iron hinge after 1 year – Small rust spots appear Iron hinge after 3 years – Visible rust, looks neglected Iron hinge after 5 years – Orange, flaking, needs replacement

Brass hinge after 1 year – Loses shine, looks dull Brass hinge after 3 years – Dark patches, needs polishing Brass hinge after 5 years – Blackish-green, looks old

SS Hinges 304G after 1 year – Looks new SS Hinges 304G after 5 years – Looks new SS Hinges 304G after 10 years – Still looks new

Your door hardware should not age faster than your door.

Reason 5 – Matching Hardware Available

In the past, you could not find matching tower bolts and handles for your hinges.

Now CROWNISI offers everything in matching finish:

SS Hinges 304G – for doors

SS Towerbolt 304G – for security

Mild steel handle – with powder coating to match

Crown aluminium Door Accessories – stoppers, viewers, letter plates

One brand. One finish. One quality. One bill.

The Numbers Behind the Trend

Year by year market share of stainless steel hinges in India:

2020 – 25% 2021 – 30% 2022 – 38% 2023 – 45% 2024 – 55% 2025 – 68% 2026 (estimated) – 78%

By the end of 2026, almost 8 out of 10 new hinges sold in India will be stainless steel.

Iron hinges are going to farms and temporary structures. Brass hinges are going to luxury heritage projects only.

The mass market has moved to stainless steel.

What Smart Homeowners Are Doing in 2026

New construction – Specifying SS Hinges 304G from the start. No compromise.

Renovation – Replacing all old iron and brass hinges with stainless steel. One time cost. Lifetime peace.

Home sale – Upgrading to stainless steel hardware before selling. Buyers notice rust. They do not want to buy a house with rusty hinges.

Mild Steel Handle for Doors and Furniture: Complete Guide

Think about all the handles you touch in a single day.

Front door in the morning. Kitchen cabinets while making breakfast. Bedroom doors. Bathroom doors. Office drawers. They are everywhere. And they all do the same job. They let you open things. Simple.

But here is the thing. Not all handles are made the same. Some feel solid in your hand. Others feel cheap. Some last for decades. Others break or rust after a few years.

If you are building a home or working on a furniture project, you need to know about mild steel handle options. Today we are talking about CROWN ISI handles. And why we are a trusted Mortise Handle manufacturer in Delhi. Let us get into it.

What Is Mild Steel Used in Door Hardware?

Before we talk about handles, you need to understand what mild steel is.

Mild steel is also called low carbon steel. It has less than 0.3 percent carbon in it . That low carbon content makes it soft and easy to work with. You can bend it, shape it, weld it, and machine it without too much trouble .

Compare that to stainless steel which has chromium and nickel added. Stainless is harder and doesn't rust. But it costs more and is harder to work with .

Mild steel sits in the middle. It is strong enough for most jobs. It is cheap. It is easy to shape. That is why so many handles are made from it.

The catch is that mild steel rusts. It has no chromium to protect it . So it needs a coating. Paint. Powder coating. Something to keep moisture away.

Mild steel handles require proper finishing such as powder coating to improve durability.

Why Choose Mild Steel For Handles?

Here is why mild steel works so well for handles.

Cost

Mild steel is cheap. Much cheaper than stainless steel or brass . If you are making many handles or working on a budget, mild steel makes sense. You get good quality without breaking the bank.

Workability

Because mild steel is soft, you can make complex shapes with it . Fancy designs. Curves. Details. All possible. This is why you see so many decorative handles made from mild steel.

Strength

Mild steel is strong enough for most doors and furniture . A standard door handle gets pulled and pushed thousands of times. Mild steel handles this just fine. Tensile strength is around 400-550 MPa . Plenty for normal use.

Availability

Mild steel is everywhere. Easy to find. Easy to get in any quantity. This matters when you need consistent supply.

CROWN ISI uses quality mild steel for all our handles. We know what works.

Types of Mild Steel Door & Furniture Handles

Different jobs need different handles. Here are common types you will see.

Lever Handles

These are the ones you push down on to open a door. Common on bedroom and bathroom doors. They come in many styles. Some have backplates. Some mount directly.

Pull Handles

You grab these and pull. Sliding doors. Cabinet doors. Drawers. Simple design. Works well.

Mortise Handles

These work with mortise locks. The handle connects to a spindle that turns the lock mechanism. This is where stainless steel hinge manufacturer shines. We are a leading Mortise Handle manufacturer in Delhi. Our mortise handles fit standard locks and work smooth for years.

Cabinet Knobs

Small round handles for cabinets and drawers. Simple. Cheap. Easy to install.

Industrial Handles

Bigger, stronger handles for workshops, factories, and heavy doors. Built to take abuse.

How Powder Coating Protects Mild Steel Handles from Rust

Remember what we said about mild steel rusting? This is where finishing comes in.

Raw mild steel will rust fast. Leave it outside for one monsoon and it is orange and rough. So every mild steel handle needs protection.

Powder Coating

This is the most common finish. Dry powder sprayed on then baked. Tough. Durable. Comes in many colors. Lasts for years if done right.

Painting

Cheaper than powder coating. But can chip or scratch. Good for indoor use where handles don't get beat up.

Galvanizing

Zinc coating. Good for outdoor handles. Protects against rust even if scratched.

Plating

Chrome or nickel plating gives a shiny look. Looks like stainless but costs less. Needs care to prevent peeling.

CROWN ISI finishes all our mild steel handle products properly. No shortcuts. That is why people trust us.

Mortise Handles: What You Need To Know

Mortise handles deserve special attention. They are different from regular door handles.

A mortise handle works with a mortise lock. The lock fits inside a pocket cut into the door edge. The handle connects through a spindle. When you turn the handle, the spindle turns the lock mechanism.

This is more secure than regular locks. That is why mortise locks are common on main doors and commercial buildings.

The handle needs to be strong. It takes more force than a simple latch. The spindle hole must be exactly right. The handle must line up perfectly.

Furniture fittings brand understands this. As a top Mortise Handle manufacturer in Delhi, we make handles that fit right and work smooth. No wobble. No sticking. Just solid performance.

Where To Use Mild Steel Handles

Mild steel handle products work in many places.

Homes

Bedroom doors. Bathroom doors. Kitchen cabinets. Wardrobes. All good places for mild steel handles. Indoor use means less moisture, so handles last longer.

Offices

Office doors. Cabinets. Drawers. Filing cabinets. Mild steel handles handle daily use well.

Shops And Retail

Shop doors. Display cabinets. Storage areas. Good looking and affordable.

Industrial

Factories. Workshops. Godowns. Heavy duty mild steel handles take abuse and keep working.

Furniture

Cabinets. Dressers. Sideboards. Desks. Handles add function and style.

Stainless Steel Hinges Price in India (2026) – Heavy Duty, 304/316 Grade & Bulk Order Supplier

When you are building a factory, installing heavy gates, or doing woodwork for a luxury home, one small thing decides how long your doors last: the hinge. If you pick the wrong one, rust eats it in six months. If you pick the right one, it swings smoothly for decades.

If you are searching for Stainless Steel Hinges prices in India for 2026, you have come to the right place. Whether you need stainless steel welded hinges for a heavy gate or marine-grade 316 for a coastal area, the price depends on the grade, size, and how many you buy.

In this blog, we break down the exact costs, why 304 and 316 grades are different, and where Crown ISI fits in as your go-to supplier for bulk orders.

Why Stainless Steel? The Shift in 2026

Indian hardware market has changed a lot. Earlier, people used mild steel because it was cheap. But mild steel rusts. Now, even government projects and big architects only specify stainless steel.

Stainless steel does not chip. It does not need painting. And in 2026, with pollution and humidity rising, it is the only smart choice for exterior doors, bathroom doors, and kitchen shutters.

When we talk about Stainless Steel Hinges, we mainly talk about two grades: 304 and 316. These numbers decide the price.

Stainless Steel Hinges Price List 2026 (Retail vs Bulk)

Prices in India keep changing based on nickel rate in the market. But here is a realistic estimate for 2026 based on current trends. Remember, these are average market rates. When you buy from a direct manufacturer like Crown ISI, you save the middleman cost.

1. Standard SS 304 Butt Hinges (Most Common for Homes)

These are your regular Stainless Steel Hinges for wooden frames and internal doors. They resist rust well and look clean.

4 inch x 3 inch (16 Gauge): ₹40 – ₹60 per piece (Retail)

5 inch x 4 inch (14 Gauge): ₹80 – ₹120 per piece (Retail)

6 inch x 4 inch (14 Gauge): ₹150 – ₹200 per piece (Retail)

2. Stainless Steel Welded Hinges (Heavy Duty)

If you have a heavy iron gate or a main door that takes load, normal butt hinges will bend. You need stainless steel welded hinges. These have the pin welded or tightly fitted to take weight .

5 inch Heavy (12 Gauge): ₹180 – ₹250 per piece

6 inch Heavy (10-12 Gauge): ₹300 – ₹400 per piece

8 inch Heavy Duty (Industrial): ₹500 – ₹800 per piece

3. SS 316 Marine Grade Hinges (For Coastal Areas)

SS 316 has molybdenum. It fights salt water corrosion. If your project is in Mumbai, Chennai, or Kochi, you need this.

5 inch SS 316 Hinge: ₹350 – ₹500 per piece (Almost double of 304)

4. Architectural / Designer Hinges

For modern homes where the hinge is visible, people want a smooth finish.

SS 304 Polished/Finished Hinges: ₹100 – ₹300 depending on design.

304 vs 316 Grade: What is the Difference?

This is the most common confusion.

SS 304 is the standard. It has 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It works perfectly for 90% of Indian homes and offices. It does not rust in normal rain or humidity.

SS 316 is called marine grade. It has 2-3% molybdenum added. This makes it resistant to chlorides (like sea water and sweat). If you live near the ocean or are installing hinges in a chemical factory, spend the extra money on 316 . It will save you replacement costs later.

Crown ISI ensures that whatever grade you buy, the material thickness is true to size. Many local sellers sell "under gauge" hinges (thin metal). We sell standard weight.

Bulk Order Supplier – Why Crown ISI?

If you are a contractor, builder, or dealer, you don't buy hinges piece by piece. You buy in kilograms or by the box.

Buying in bulk directly from a manufacturer like Crown ISI (Crown Industries) gives you two benefits:

Pricing: You save 15-25% compared to local market rates.

Quality: You get verified material. Every piece of Stainless Steel Hinges from Crown ISI meets the required standards .

Approximate Bulk Prices (Wholesale)

SS 304 Welded Hinges (Assorted sizes): ₹350 – ₹450 per kg (depending on gauge)

Box packing (100 pieces): Direct manufacturer rate applicable.

Factors That Affect Stainless Steel Hinges Price in 2026

You might wonder why one shop quotes ₹50 and another quotes ₹80 for the same size hinge. Here is why:

1. Gauge (Thickness)

A 16 gauge hinge is thinner than a 14 gauge. Heavy doors need thick hinges (low gauge number). Price increases with thickness.

2. Raw Material Cost

Stainless steel is a global commodity. When nickel prices go up in the London Metal Exchange, hinge prices in Delhi or Mumbai go up within weeks .

3. Finish

Matt finish, polished chrome, or brushed finish – extra polishing costs money. Standard stainless steel welded hinges usually have a simple mill finish, which is cheaper.

4. Welding Quality

Cheap hinges have spot welds that break. Good stainless steel welded hinges have continuous, strong welds. At Crown ISI, we focus on weld strength so your gate doesn't sag.

Where to Use Which Hinge?

Bedroom Doors (Internal Wood): Use SS 304 Butt hinges. 4 inch or 5 inch is fine.

Why Stainless Steel Hinges Made in India Are Trusted Worldwide

If you walk into a hardware store in Dubai, London, or Nairobi, there is a good chance you will find hinges made in India. It is not a coincidence.

Over the past few decades, stainless steel hinges making India has grown from a small-scale industry into a global powerhouse. Today, Indian hinges are used in buildings, factories, and homes across more than 90 countries .

But what makes them so popular? Why do international buyers choose India over other manufacturing hubs? Let us explore the reasons behind this global trust and see why brands like Crown ISI are leading the way.

The Rise of Indian Stainless Steel Manufacturing

India has a long history of working with metal. From ancient iron pillars that still stand today to modern precision engineering, Indians understand metal.

In the last 20 years, this traditional knowledge has combined with modern technology. Indian manufacturers invested in advanced machinery, automated production lines, and computer-controlled quality systems .

Today, the country is one of the world's leading producers of stainless steel and stainless steel products. Global buyers have taken notice.

Quality That Speaks for Itself

The number one reason international buyers trust Indian hinges is quality.

When you buy ss 304 stainless steel butt hinges from India, you are getting genuine material. Indian manufacturers use certified stainless steel that meets international grades .

What this means for buyers:

Consistent Composition: The steel has the right amount of chromium and nickel every time.

Reliable Strength: Hinges do not bend or break under load.

True Corrosion Resistance: They pass salt spray tests of 72 hours or more .

Indian manufacturers do not cut corners. They know that in the export market, one bad batch can ruin a reputation built over years. So they test, inspect, and verify every piece before it ships .

Advanced Manufacturing Facilities

Gone are the days when Indian factories used only basic machines. Today, stainless steel hinges making India happens in world-class facilities .

Modern Indian hinge factories feature:

CNC Laser Cutting: For precise, clean edges on every hinge leaf.

Automated Stamping Presses: To maintain consistency across thousands of pieces.

Robotic Polishing: For a flawless, uniform finish.

Computerized Testing Equipment: To verify strength and durability .

These investments allow Indian manufacturers to produce hinges that match the best in the world.

Competitive Pricing Without Compromising Quality

Let us be honest—price matters in global trade. And this is one area where India shines.

Indian manufacturers offer significant cost advantages:

Lower labor costs compared to Europe or America .

Efficient raw material sourcing from local steel mills .

Optimized production processes that reduce waste .

The result is a product that costs 15-25% less than Western equivalents but delivers the same, if not better, quality . This value proposition is hard to beat.

For importers buying stainless steel welded hinges or SS Butt Hinges in bulk, these savings add up quickly.

Skilled Workforce and Craftsmanship

India has a massive pool of skilled workers. Many come from families that have worked with metal for generations. They understand the material in a way that cannot be taught from a textbook .

This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern training creates something special:

Workers know how to spot defects that machines might miss.

They understand the importance of precise tolerances.

They take pride in producing something that will last for decades .

When you buy from India, you are getting products made by people who care about their work.

Compliance with International Standards

Global buyers need to know that products meet the rules of their home countries. Indian manufacturers understand this.

Most reputable exporters comply with:

ISO 9001: For quality management systems .

CE Marking: Required for the European market .

RoHS: Restricting hazardous substances .

BIS Standards: For the domestic market, which often exceed basic requirements .

The Indian government has also made quality compulsory for many hardware products. Since July 2025, hinges sold in India must carry the BIS standard mark . This pushes all manufacturers to maintain high quality, which benefits export buyers too.

Wide Product Range and Customization

International buyers appreciate variety. Indian manufacturers offer exactly that.

Whether you need:

Standard ss 304 stainless steel butt hinges for commercial doors.

Heavy-duty stainless steel welded hinges for industrial use.

Special sizes or custom finishes.

OEM branding with your logo on every piece.

Indian suppliers can do it. They are flexible and willing to work with buyers to create exactly what the market needs .

Strong Global Network and Logistics

You can make the best product in the world, but if it does not reach the customer on time, it is useless. Indian exporters understand logistics.

Major ports like Mundra, Nhava Sheva (JNPT), and Chennai handle massive volumes of cargo daily . Manufacturers work with experienced freight forwarders who ensure:

Secure packaging that protects hinges during sea freight .

Proper documentation for customs clearance .

Timely delivery to destinations worldwide .

This reliability builds trust. When a buyer in Africa places an order, they know it will arrive when promised.

India hits the sweet spot—high quality at a reasonable price, with the flexibility to meet specific buyer needs .

The Human Touch: Relationship-Based Business

Indian business culture is built on relationships. This might sound old-fashioned, but in global trade, it matters .

When you work with an Indian supplier, you are not just a transaction. You become a partner.

They remember your preferences.

They notify you of issues before they become problems.

They work with you during tough times.

This approach creates long-term partnerships that last for decades. Buyers keep coming back because they trust the people behind the products .

Stainless Steel Hinges Making in India: Manufacturing Process Explained

Have you ever picked up a stainless steel hinge and wondered how it came to be? That smooth finish, the precise fit, the strength to hold a heavy door—none of it happens by accident.

Behind every reliable hinge is a carefully planned manufacturing process. And in India, this process has been refined over decades to produce world-class hardware. From the bustling markets of Delhi to the industrial clusters of Aligarh and Rajkot, stainless steel hinges making India has become a story of quality, precision, and innovation.

In this blog, we will take you behind the scenes. We will explain exactly how a raw sheet of stainless steel transforms into a finished hinge ready for installation. We will also look at why Crown ISI is a name synonymous with quality in this industry.

The Raw Material: It All Starts with SS 304

Every great product starts with great material. In the world of hinges, that material is usually SS 304 stainless steel.

Why SS 304?

It contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which gives it excellent corrosion resistance .

It is strong enough to handle heavy loads without bending.

It maintains its appearance and strength for decades.

When manufacturers source stainless steel for ss 304 stainless steel butt hinges, they typically buy it in the form of sheets, rods, or coils. The quality of this raw material determines everything that follows. This is why reputable manufacturers like Crown ISI are careful about where they source their steel from.

Step 1: Cutting the Raw Material

The first step in the manufacturing process is cutting the stainless steel sheets into individual hinge leaves.

How it works: Large stainless steel sheets are fed into cutting machines. In modern factories, this is done using:

CNC Laser Cutting: A computer-controlled laser that cuts with extreme precision .

Stamping Presses: Huge machines that punch out hinge shapes in seconds.

The goal here is accuracy. Each hinge leaf must be exactly the same size. If the cutting is off by even a millimeter, the hinge will not fit properly when installed.

Step 2: Forming the Shape

Once the basic shape is cut, the hinge leaves need to be formed. A flat piece of metal does not make a hinge yet. It needs curves and bends.

Stamping and Pressing: The cut pieces go into stamping presses. These machines apply tons of pressure to:

Create the barrel (the round part where the pin goes).

Form any decorative patterns on the leaf.

Bend the leaf to the correct angle.

This step requires serious machinery. The presses used in stainless steel hinges making India range from small mechanical presses to large hydraulic systems that can handle thick, heavy-duty material .

Step 3: Drilling and Piercing

Now the hinge leaf has its shape, but it needs holes. Screw holes are essential for attaching the hinge to the door and frame.

Precision Drilling: In automated factories, multiple drills work simultaneously to create perfectly spaced holes. For SS Butt Hinges, the hole positions must match standard door preparations. If the holes are off, contractors cannot use the hinge.

Some manufacturers also pierce holes during the stamping process using specialized dies. This is faster and ensures perfect alignment every time.

Step 4: Surface Finishing

Raw stainless steel straight from the press has a dull, sometimes rough surface. It needs finishing to look good and resist corrosion properly.

The finishing process includes:

Grinding: Removing sharp edges and burrs left from cutting.

Polishing: Using abrasive wheels to create a smooth, shiny surface. This can range from a satin finish to a mirror polish .

Buffing: The final step that gives the hinge its luster.

A good finish is not just about looks. A smooth surface has fewer places for dirt and moisture to collect, which improves corrosion resistance.

Step 5: Assembly

Now the leaves are ready to become a hinge. They need to be joined together with a pin.

Putting it together:

The two leaves are aligned so their barrels line up perfectly.

A stainless steel pin is inserted through the barrels.

The pin is secured, usually by welding or pressing the ends so it cannot slide out.

For stainless steel welded hinges, this step is critical. The barrels must rotate smoothly without binding. High-quality manufacturers test each hinge by hand to ensure the action is smooth.

Step 6: Quality Control and Testing

This is perhaps the most important step. No hinge leaves the factory without being checked.

What gets tested?

Dimensional Accuracy: Are all the holes in the right place? Is the hinge the correct size? Calipers and gauges are used to check every dimension .

Load Capacity: Samples from each batch are tested to ensure they can hold the rated weight without bending.

Corrosion Resistance: The Salt Spray Test is a common method. Hinges are placed in a chamber with a salty mist to see how long they take to rust. Genuine SS 304 hinges last 72 hours or more in this test .

Cycle Testing: Machines open and close the hinge thousands of times to simulate years of use. This checks for wear and durability .

For manufacturers seeking BIS certification, these tests are mandatory and must be documented .

The Indian Manufacturing Advantage

India has a long history of metal working. Cities like Aligarh are famous for their hardware clusters, where skilled craftsmen have been making fittings for generations .

Today, this traditional skill is combined with modern technology.

CNC machines ensure precision.

Automated polishing lines deliver consistent finishes.

Computerized testing equipment verifies quality.

This blend of old and new is what makes stainless steel hinges making India respected worldwide. Indian hinges are exported to Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond .

How to Choose the Right SS Hinges for Interior Doors?

When you plan the interiors of your home, you think about the paint, the furniture, and the fancy handles. But there is one small hero that holds everything together—literally. The humble door hinge. If you are building or renovating, choosing the right SS Hinges for your interior doors is a decision that affects both the look and the life of your doors. No one wants a door that starts sagging or makes squeaky sounds after a few months.

At CROWNISI, we believe that hardware should be strong, beautiful, and maintenance-free. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to pick the perfect stainless steel hinges. And yes, we will tell you why our Stainless Steel Handle 304G and hinges are becoming the first choice for Indian homes.

Why Stainless Steel? The Magic of SS Hinges

You might wonder, why specifically SS Hinges? Why not just any iron or brass hinge? The answer is simple: India’s weather. In many parts of the country, humidity and monsoon rains can ruin ordinary metal. Normal hinges rust, making doors hard to open and leaving ugly orange stains on your paint.

Stainless steel, especially the grade we use at CROWNISI, does not rust. It stays smooth and shiny for years. When we talk about SS Hinges, we are talking about peace of mind. You install them once, and you forget about them. They keep working silently without any drama .

The Gold Standard: Stainless Steel Handle 304G

You will often hear the term "304" or "304G" in the hardware world. This is not just random jargon. Stainless Steel Handle 304G refers to a specific grade of steel that contains nickel and chromium. This combination creates a protective layer on the steel that fights off rust and corrosion .

At CROWNISI, we use high-quality 304G stainless steel for our hinges and handles. This means our products are perfect for interior doors, whether in your bathroom (where moisture is high) or your bedroom (where you want silent operation). Choosing Stainless Steel Handle 304G ensures that your hardware does not react with water or cleaning chemicals over time .

5 Key Factors to Choose the Right SS Hinges

Selecting the right hinge is not just about picking the shiniest piece in the shop. Here is a simple checklist to follow.

1. Understand the Weight of Your Door

This is the most important rule. A light hollow door and a heavy solid wood door need different hinges. For standard interior doors, two to three hinges are usually enough. But if your door is heavy, you need heavy-duty SS Hinges with a thick gauge to prevent sagging .

2. Pick the Right Grade of Steel

Always look for the "304" mark. Some cheaper hinges use grade 202 or even just coated steel. They might look the same in the showroom, but within a year, they start showing rust spots. Insist on Stainless Steel Handle 304G quality for all your hardware. CROWNISI guarantees this grade across our entire range .

3. Match the Finish to Your Handles

Your door hinges should match your door handles. If you are buying a sleek Stainless Steel Handle 304G lever, your hinges should have the same satin or brushed finish. This creates a uniform, premium look. Mismatched finishes look odd and spoil the interior design .

4. Check the Type of Hinge

For most interior doors, the standard Butt Hinge is the best choice. It is strong and reliable . However, if you want a very modern, clean look where no metal is visible when the door is shut, you might consider Concealed Hinges. These are hidden inside the door and frame. But for general use, a good quality butt hinge from CROWNISI works perfectly .

5. Look for Ball Bearings

If you hate squeaky doors, look for hinges with ball bearings. These allow the door to move smoothly without friction. High-quality SS Hinges have a small ball-bearing mechanism inside the knuckle that makes the door feel light and silent for years .

Why CROWNISI is the Smart Choice

In the Indian market, you have many options. But CROWNISI has quickly become a trusted name. Why? Because we focus on precision. Our SS Hinges are not just pressed metal; they are engineered products. We ensure that our screws fit perfectly, the corners are smooth, and the finish is uniform. When you pair our hinges with our Stainless Steel Handle 304G, you get a complete hardware set that looks coordinated and works flawlessly .

We understand the Indian consumer. You want luxury, but you also want value. CROWNISI offers that balance—premium quality "Made in India" products that compete with international brands .

Installation Tips for Long Life

Buying great SS Hinges is the first step. Installing them correctly is the second. Make sure the carpenter cuts the recess (mortise) neatly so the hinge sits flush with the door and frame. If the hinge is protruding, it creates stress and can crack the wood. Also, use the screws provided by CROWNISI; they are designed to fit perfectly with the hinge holes. Never mix different metals, as this can cause a reaction that leads to corrosion .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some common questions homeowners have when buying hinges.

1. What is the difference between SS 202 and SS 304 hinges?

SS 304 contains more nickel and chromium than SS 202. This makes Stainless Steel 304G much more resistant to rust and corrosion. For long-term use in Indian homes, SS 304 is always the better choice .

2. How many SS Hinges do I need for a standard door?

For a standard 32 to 36-inch interior door, three hinges are recommended. Two hinges might work for very light doors, but three ensures the weight is distributed evenly and prevents sagging over time .

3. Do CROWNISI hinges come with a warranty?

Yes. CROWNISI stands behind the quality of our products. We offer warranties on our hardware, reflecting our confidence in our SS Hinges and Stainless Steel Handle 304G .

4. Can I use the same hinges for my bathroom door?

Absolutely. In fact, you should use SS 304 Hinges specifically in bathrooms because of the high humidity. CROWNISI hinges are perfect for this application as they resist moisture .

5. What size hinge do I need?

For most interior doors in India, a 4-inch or 5-inch hinge is standard. The size depends on the door's width and thickness. It is best to measure the existing hinge or ask your carpenter for the correct size .

6. Are CROWNISI handles and hinges matching?

Yes. Our products are designed as a system. If you buy our Stainless Steel Handle 304G, you can find SS Hinges with the exact same finish to create a cohesive look .

7. Why is my door making noise even with new hinges?

If your new SS Hinges are making noise, it might be due to a lack of lubrication or misalignment. Check if the screws are tight. If the door is rubbing against the frame, the hinges might need adjustment. Quality hinges like CROWNISI should operate silently if installed correctly.

8. What does "gauge" mean in hinges?

Gauge refers to the thickness of the steel used to make the hinge. A lower gauge number means thicker steel. For interior doors, a medium to heavy gauge is best for durability .

9. Can I install SS Hinges myself?

If you are handy with tools, yes. But for a perfect fit, it is best to have a professional carpenter do it. The recess needs to be cut precisely so the hinge sits flush .

10. Where can I buy authentic CROWNISI hardware?

You can explore the full range of SS Hinges and Stainless Steel Handle 304G on the official CROWNISI website or through authorized dealers across India .

Final Thoughts

Never underestimate the power of good hardware. SS Hinges are the silent workers in your home, ensuring your doors open and close smoothly thousands of times without complaint. By choosing the right material—like Stainless Steel Handle 304G—and a trusted brand like CROWNISI, you are adding long-term value to your home. So, the next time you look at a door, remember the small hinge that makes it all possible. Choose wisely, choose stainless, choose CROWNISI.

In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about these products so you can make the right choice for your project.

What Exactly is Stainless Steel Handle 304G?

The "304G" in Stainless Steel Handle 304G refers to the grade of stainless steel used. Grade 304 is often called "18/8" stainless steel because it contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This specific mix is what makes it a top choice for handles.

Why Choose 304G Stainless Steel?

Rust Resistance: The chromium in the steel creates a protective layer on the surface. This means your handles won't develop rust spots, even in humid areas like bathrooms or coastal homes .

Strength: These handles are tough. They can handle the daily pulling and pushing of a commercial building without bending or breaking .

Easy to Clean: The surface is non-porous, so dirt and grime wipe right off. This is why they are so popular in kitchens and hospitals where hygiene matters.

A Stainless Steel Handle 304G from a brand like CROWNISI isn't just a tool to open a door; it is a piece of hardware that adds a sleek, modern touch to your interiors .

The Unsung Hero: SS Hinges

While handles get all the attention, SS Hinges do all the heavy lifting. A hinge is what connects the door to the frame, allowing it to swing open and closed. If you pick the wrong hinge, even the most expensive handle won't work properly.

Types of SS Hinges You Should Know

Not all hinges are the same. Depending on where you are installing them, you might need a different style. Here is a simple breakdown based on common types available in the market :Hinge TypeBest ForWhy Choose It?Butt HingesStandard interior doors in homes and offices.Simple, reliable design that provides a clean, smooth swing.

Why SS Hinges are a Smart Investment

No Sagging: High-quality SS Hinges are designed to bear heavy loads. They keep heavy wooden or glass doors perfectly aligned, preventing that annoying sag where the door scrapes the floor .

Smooth Operation: Good hinges use precision engineering. They allow the door to move quietly and smoothly, which adds a feeling of quality to the room .

Long Life: Because they are made of stainless steel, they resist the wear and tear that comes from constant use. In commercial settings where doors open hundreds of times a day, this durability is essential .

Stainless Steel Handle 304G: Finding the Right Style

When you search for a Stainless Steel Handle 304G, you will find many shapes and sizes. Your choice depends on the door type and the overall look you want.

Lever Handles: These are the most common for residential doors. They are ergonomic and easy to grip. CROWNISI offers a range of lever handles that fit perfectly in modern homes .

Pull Handles: These are long, bar-style handles usually found on main entrance doors or commercial glass doors. They make a bold statement. A cranked pull handle, for example, gives extra knuckle clearance and looks very stylish on heavy doors .

Bow Handles (D-Handles): Often seen on cabinet doors or drawers. They offer a firm grip and are available in various finishes to match your kitchen hardware .

Combining Handles and Hinges for Different Environments

Whether you are working on a home project or a commercial build, the combination of handles and hinges needs to match the environment.

For Home Use

At home, comfort and style are key.

Kitchens & Bathrooms: Humidity is high here. You need Stainless Steel Handle 304G because it won't rust. Pair them with concealed SS Hinges on cabinets for a sleek look that is easy to clean .

Main Doors: The front door gets a lot of use and is exposed to the elements. A heavy-duty pull handle in 304G is a great choice. You will need strong SS Hinges (possibly three hinges instead of two) to support the weight of a heavy main door .

For Commercial Use

Commercial spaces need hardware that can take a beating.

Offices & Schools: These doors are used constantly. SS Hinges need to be commercial grade, often continuous hinges, to handle the traffic. Handles must be ergonomic and durable. CROWNISI hardware is designed to meet these high demands, ensuring that doors in public buildings remain functional and safe .

Hospitals: Hygiene is the priority here. Stainless steel is non-porous and easy to sanitize. Offset hinges are sometimes used in hospital rooms to allow doors to swing clear for better accessibility .

Restaurants: Spring-loaded SS Hinges are perfect for kitchen doors that need to stay closed to maintain temperature and keep pests out .

Why Quality Matters: The CROWNISI Difference

When you buy hardware, you want it to last. Cheap handles might look okay for a few months, but they often fade, rust, or become loose. This is why choosing a trusted brand matters.

CROWNISI focuses on creating hardware that meets the needs of today’s consumers. People want products that look good but don't cost a fortune. However, "affordable" doesn't mean "cheap." CROWNISI ensures that every Stainless Steel Handle 304G and SS Hinge meets quality control standards. This means you get fittings that are tested for performance and built to last .

When you install CROWNISI hardware, you are adding value to your property. You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your doors will operate smoothly for years, without rust or mechanical failure.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

To get the best out of your hardware, follow these simple tips:

Choose the Right Size: A heavy door needs bigger hinges. A good rule of thumb is to use one hinge for every 30 inches of door height .

Use Proper Tools: When installing SS Hinges, make sure you use stainless steel screws. Using regular steel screws can cause a reaction that leads to rust around the screw heads.

Simple Cleaning: To clean a Stainless Steel Handle 304G, just use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbers that can scratch the surface. Wipe in the direction of the grain to keep the finish looking new.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are some common questions people have about stainless steel hardware, answered in simple terms.

1. What does 304G mean in Stainless Steel Handle 304G? It means the handle is made from Grade 304 stainless steel. This is a high-quality alloy with 18% chromium and 8% nickel, known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for both home and commercial use .

2. Are SS Hinges better than brass or steel hinges? For most modern applications, yes. SS Hinges offer superior strength and rust resistance compared to standard steel. Unlike brass, they require very little maintenance and don't tarnish, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run .

3. Can I use Stainless Steel Handle 304G outside? Absolutely. Grade 304 is suitable for outdoor use in most environments. It can handle rain and sun without rusting. However, if you live right on the coast in a salty area, you might want to look at Grade 316 for even better protection .

4. What type of SS Hinge is best for a heavy front door? For a heavy wooden front door, heavy-duty butt hinges are the best choice. Make sure to use three hinges to distribute the weight evenly. Look for SS Hinges with larger pins and thicker leaves to prevent sagging .

5. How do I stop my SS Hinges from squeaking? Even stainless steel can squeak if dust gets into the knuckles. A small drop of silicone-based lubricant or even petroleum jelly on the hinge pin will keep them operating silently.

6. Does CROWNISI make handles for both homes and businesses? Yes, CROWNISI offers a wide range of products suitable for all applications. Whether you need a fancy lever handle for your bedroom or a heavy-duty pull handle for a hotel, the brand provides durable and stylish options .

7. What is the difference between a sprung hinge and a regular hinge? A regular hinge allows the door to move freely. A sprung hinge (or spring hinge) has an internal mechanism that automatically pulls the door back to the closed position. These are often required on fire doors for safety .

8. Can I match my SS Hinges with my Stainless Steel Handle 304G? Yes, absolutely. Most manufacturers, including CROWNISI, ensure that their product lines have consistent finishes. You can easily buy matching sets to create a uniform and professional look throughout your property .

9. Are there SS Hinges that are hidden from view? Yes, they are called concealed hinges. They are very popular for modern kitchen cabinets and wardrobes because when the door is closed, you only see the door, not the hardware, creating a very clean and minimalist look .

10. How much weight can SS Hinges hold? It depends on the size and number of hinges. A standard pair of 4-inch heavy-duty SS Hinges can typically hold between 80kg to 150kg. For very heavy doors, continuous hinges are used to spread the weight across the entire length of the door .
