use wat paint also no use de bro.

Can temporary prevent cannot permanent prevent.

Out of so many ways,the best way I still find applying grease on it works.

But of coz there bound to have times where it will accidently kana your hand when doing things.

Try applying Vaseline. Dismantle the whole hinge and give it a good coat including the screws before fixing it back.

if u r looking at minimizing the process or slow down,yes!

Paint or what so ever can be apply.

Problem with us now is we dun1 to keep doing maintainence work on those hinges u c.

Even with stainless steel hinges sprayed,they still corrode when meet with seawater.

[Gouldian]

Yup, one of the many uses of vaseline.

For more, please see http://www.wackyuses.com/vaseline.html

Beside the uses stated in the link above, vaseline can be used to prevent silicone from sticking to your fingers.

Corrosion is a natural event. You can only delay it, not prevent it. Vaseline or oil regularly.

You can also consider getting high-quality stainless hinges and screws.

normal stainless steel item sold in the market like fork,spoon I'll say they r made of 316 stainless steel.

So for the hinges as well.

If u looking for high quality type I dun think there's any available in the market.

Anyway even the pure stainless Steel(302) rust when contacted with seawater after sometime.

So conclusion: the only way is to grease it,maintain it n when time to change,change regularly

Just smear WD40 or is it WB40 .. I know it's W <something> 40 ( can't remember right now)... on the hinges.. it's in a spray can so what I did was spray it on a piece of cloth away from the tank and then rubbed it on my hinges and then open up all the cabinet doors to let the tank "air" a while... of course I stood by to make sure "quick hand quick feet" to pick up any fish which MAY jump during the time of "airing"..

You can get it at the DIY shops.

Its WD40, Desi.

Unfortunately, it dries up after some time, and you will have to keep spraying. Someone once told me that it also has corrosive properties, so do use it sparingly.

Maybe you got imitation product so it read wB40. frequent oiling will prevent rust. the problem is such manual touch points tends to become infrequent over time so rust sets in...
