Hi. Are the hinges made of plastic or metal?

I believe it's metal but I'm not 100% sure as my attention went to broken mirror inside. Back in the box it went.

Unfortunately the hinge areas are stamped plastic--not actual articulated plastic hinges per se. I'm afraid that's likely an indication long-term usage isn't an option with this particular one, either.

They are metal. Be aware, however, they are not easy to install. If you can't solder or weld find someone that will install them for you before purchasing.

The hinge is plastic.The rod that connects to the foot pedal is metal. There may be hidden parts that are plastic.

They are plastic. I don't know if I would say cheap, it has held up perfectly and has been mounted under my cupboard for 8 months.

They are made of a type of plastic. They are very robust as I am using 6 pieces and have had no problems with them.

It is plastic and metal. The metal part isthe front part you wedge under the door. With the battery it weights more. It really works. Very accurate and loud. I urge you buy two.

They are rigid plastic. Moreover, the fan speed isn't as good as what I'd expected.

They're made of metal, depending on what type of cabinet doors you have may need to use a plastic spacer mount them in order for them to work properly. Mine, in fact needed the plastic spacer but it is heavy duty. I ordered the large quantity of these and put them all in my kitchen. I get to do this but I'm going to count every door in my house and put them on. We love them

The gate itself is metal. It does have some plastic coverings and the top slide latch is metal. Where the gate connects together at the top (where the top slide latch is) is one of the plastic coverings. We've had one of our many gates for 3 years and no one has noticed the minimal plastic and we haven't had any issues.

The parts are metal - no plastic! We've had two chairs for almost a year and they're great.

Short version is no, the hinge is molded plastic continuous with the body and the lid. However there are two metal hinge pins. I have owned many of these footlockers for use on mission trips to Africa and other places, they have been overloaded stacked and abused and the hinges have never failed. I recommend this product.

yes - the hinges are metal. I was at first happy with this as I thought it would stabilize better than merely the velcro strap types I had before but they didn't work any better. They also poked through and into my running pants when I was on my knees - which was quite frustrating as I had just spent $100.00 on these new pants. For what it's worth. Hope that helps.The metal parts can just pop out if needed, then re-insert after. I have just taken mine out completely at this point but it is very easy to put them in or take them out.

They are made of plastic. I've had mine several months and it is holding up just fine.

They are all plastic but very solid plastic. I installed them months ago and still holding strong.

I think they are plastic, but I've had them almost a year and they are very sturdy and look great.

The hinges on this unit are all non metallic. The hinge pins are molded and simply need to driven into place and lock. The pins on my unit were part of either the top or the back panel, I can't remember which. The only screws are those used to attach the two plastic straps that keep the top from falling back past vertical when fully opened. I assembled my entire unit in less than five minutes! Fabulously easy!
