1 yr review. Fair product for the price. Many issues.

I cant imagine why people would write a review without giving the product at least a year outdoors! No chance to evaluate the real world performance without that. More about that at the end.These doors have several issues. They are not priced expensive however, so I understood I would be rolling the dice here. I doubt you could get high quality doors on here personally. My install is in a covered, shaded patio area. These are exposed to water during a few driving rain events throughout the year. They will get surface rust. They will need to be cleaned or covered prior to wet events unless you want to have a rusty, damaged install appearance. This calls into question the material they are made from.Are these 304 stainless steel? Let me answer this a bit in depth. Yes it certainly is to some degree. However the coatings may be of poor quality in certain areas. Please view the magnet attachment area, and specifically the surrounding frame area that clearly has deteriorated. This is a poor or low quality application of chromium to the surface. It should however have the same appearance as the rest of the stainless frame.The surface can be cleaned with barkeepers friend powder mixture and old socks. This will renew the look of the surface and remove minor rusting areas. In 1 year, I have done this twice to remove surface rust. I live in an area that doesn't get ice really, so I do not salt the ground at all. We get little rain as well. I also do not live in a coastal area. Why is this important to take into consideration? Salts will cause rusting and pitting that cannot be buffed out in low quality 304 like these doors are made from. 316 would be the ideal material for those environments.The best news is the hinges are not showing signs of rust out. That is important because that would be the end of these doors. It is fair to say its impossible to get hinge rust cleaned without it coming right back. We had some areas of poor application of mortar around the frame which sucks, however I have been able to clear the mortar from those areas without apparent impact. It did require a lot of buffing. Make sure your installer is very, very careful.These do have nice attachment hardpoints, that is a plus.The handles on these vary apparently wildly! This has been one of my main complaints and the seller was not able to remedy that. YOU WILL NOT GET THE PICTURED HANDLES! That leads me to believe they source the handles and door for different places, and have stock photos provided by one or the other. This is typical for Alibaba style sellers which permeate the amazon experience now.Overall the most important question. Would I buy and use these again?Yes *in my application *in my environment. I am fine with the compromises I have made on quality and consistency after a years time.Would I buy and use them if I had an open air/uncovered application? No. Would I buy and use them if I had to put salt down/lived in a coastal area? No.I hope Morphorn, LMFAO at that name, can work to correct the issues I have identified. I also doubt they will.
