I would suggest that you try to pick up the regular hinge bolts. Someone on the board should have a set. The bolts have large thick washers that are cupped to bite into the hinge to prevent movement of the hinges. Since stainless has a tendacy to stretch,
it may create a problem of having to constantly retighten the fasteners.
