Are the latches rustproof?

I believe there aluminum and mine haven't rusted after a year +. Great box own 3 of them.

Any steel will rust if submerged in water long enough. I do not suspect that they are stainless steel. If it helps, I live in Miami with high humidity and salt content and have had no trouble as of yet. Ultimately, I would categorize them as rust resistant, not rust proof. You can get plastic latches that will not rust but the strength and quality will be lacking. It really depends on you and your needs.

I don't know if they are but we live 4 blocks from the beach and ours are still perfect.

Mine have been through the dishwasher once with no trace of rust ( I just inspected closely).

I've had them out in the South Dakota weather for 1+ years. So far no rust but they lose the shine that it originally was. Still very nice gates though!

I believe so. They show no signs of rust after 3 years. The chairs are really great. They have held up very well. The company stands by their product. We had a problem with an arm that cracked (probably my problem in assembling the chair) and they immediately sent a replacement arm, no charge.

I have them on a wardrobe rolling rack which is in a storage unit much like a shed; can be damp, hot, and cold. They have not rusted at all and have been in there for several years.

They can rust, but what I've seen is only surface rust that can be cleaned off. I would think with proper cleaning and maintenance it would be less of an issue.

I believe that these are aluminum. If not they are galvanized. I have experienced no rusting in the year we have had them.

the screws that attach the wheels rust a bit, but i have not had problems with staining of the surface below. the trolley itself is rust proof, and i find this product both attractive and durable.

No, the whole steamer, including rivets, is of aluminum, which doesn't rust. I have been using it for several months and don't see any kind of corrosion.

I'm not certain if they are stainless steal or not, but I suspect they are because we've had the teak bench for several months now in a constantly very wet shower environment (we shower about twice a day), and so far the screws do not appear to be rusting at all. No rust problems yet!

NO evidence of rust yet. We moved in last Oct and put them out at that time. thks

I don't believe they are stainless but I've used them for around 5 years and have never had any problem with rust or corrosion.

Yes, in fact I used them outdoors over a year ago and there is no indication of rust.

They say they are, but the first time I put them in the dishwasher, they came out with rust on the hinges. I would recommend hand washing.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.

I never read the box, but I've been using them for a couple of years. I've not experience rust, if that's what you're worried about. I gave a set to my friend...no complaints there either.

There is a metal screw and 2 rivets on the inside of the lid that holds the handle on, however, I've used it quite a bit and have had no issues with rust. I'll see if I can attach a photo for you to see.
