I have allot of brass fixtures throughout my home. One day I took a good look at my door hinges. After 23 years they had become very tarnished and the worst part most of the hinges had paint all over them. I found Emtek hindges[...]. They have the PVD lifetime finish. I have never replaced hinges and found these were quite easy to do. I had only bought enough to replace my downstairs doors. It was so easy and they look so beautiful. I ordered 8 more boxes for my upstairs. I recommend these Emtek hinges. They are made as well as Baldwin for half the price.
