They are made of steel. All of my clients with knee issues use this and love it. My mother and her Dr. both LOVE it!

I am not 100% but close to it, steel. Magnets stick to them so they are not aluminum.

Hello David,This is made out of regular (heavy) hinge material. Most like steel with a good oil rubbed bronze finish. The spring assembly worked well for us. It is a mild spring, not a heavy pull like you would get from a screen door spring. I hope this helps, Chuck Pearson

The hinges are white plastic, covered by a locking device that matches the seat. There is no metal visible anywhere.

The main hinge is made of a very strudy plastic material with a steel hinge pin. There are two smaller supporting hinges on each end inside of the lid that are metal.

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.

Not exactly sure. But the Hardware mounted one, i own two of and had one at my old house too. The gate is made of wood, and then there are metal hinges and locking mechanism that are attached to the wood gate, and Both pieces mount to the wall/railing with metal hardware. The gate can be quickly removed without uninstalling the hardware from the wall, and it just slides right back in. If the wood mounted one have wood mounts, i would say its not as sturdy/rugged, but i can't say for sure since i haven't seen it.

Hinges are metal, underneath seat visible area is like a honeycomb or compartmentalized heavy plastic.

Daryl, I purchased these over a year ago and what I recall is that this is a hinge replacement pack. (2) included so that you can swap out the old plastic (broken hinges) and upgrade to the stainless steel. - They have worked out well and are much more durable. Installation is very easy.

They are definitely made of steel. I know 'cause I tested it with a magnet which won't stick to aluminum. If you follow the instructions during assembly you will find this bench to be amazingly strong, sturdy, and stable!!

Unless they've updated the model (we bought this part number in 2011), the hinges are metal mounted in plastic. Our plastic is cracking, and I have to buy a new door for ~$100.

It appears to be hard plastic over steel. The sound is very minimal. I'm using it for a bathroom. The hardware is very good quality; I'm very happy with my purchase.

I purchased three of these earlier 2013 and all three have metal hinges. It is a nice product, we surfaced mounted, but they can be set flush as well.

It's made of metal but very lightweight and it has hollow bars. We've had it about 3 months now and no problems so far.

Mostly high strength aluminum, some plastic joints for the hinged areas. I thought it was really well made and I haven't had any issues with it.

The outer part of the hinge is a hard plastic but I am reasonably certain that the pins on which the gate swivels are metal, as is the rest of the gate. However, as I would have to remove the hinges from the gate to look inside, I can't give you a 100% guarantee of that. I wouldn't worry about it being made of plastic as there is no stress on it at all---as SuperShopper said, it is nothing like a door or cabinet hinge. I am really quite impressed by the quality of this gate overall, even though it is made in China.
