I wonder if anyone knows of a UK or Ireland supplier of ROCA stainless hinges? We need a couple of 40mm x 35mm stainless lift off hinges for our Sweden Yacht 390. Have spoken to Swedish manufacturer of the hinge but they do not supply online to individuals and suggested a Danish supplier where I am not having much success! Thanks.

ROCA make stainless hinges in both 304 and 31 6 Stainless, make sure its 316.
The difference is about twice the price, but it wont rust.

Thanks to Plank Walker and PCUK. Helpful information. Hinges are for a locker door in the forepeak - so 316 required but should remain free of rust/tarnish. BIG issue for me is to try and find a supplier in UK or in Ireland. Or even one in Europe that would be helpful. Thanks to all for reading.

304 is perfectly acceptable for an internal locker door. the door hinges on my boat are plated carbon steel which, except for one, have lasted for 40 years. The exception gets flooded with seawater whenever I withdraw the log impeller but even that one has only been replaced once in my 25 years of ownership.
The molybdenum content in 316 reduces pitting but otherwise both grades corrode about equally.
