A customer is requesting that I install a brushed nickel piano hinge instead of a brass one to match her other hardware surrounding a bench seat that I built for her. I have searched all over the web, but everyone only seems to offer brass. Does anyone know of a dealer/manufacturer that has options besides brass?

http://www.wwhardware.com sells stainless steel piano hinges. A scrub with steel wool will give it a brushed nickel look.
Thank you for the link. They actually have nickle. Wether or not it's brushed, I'm not sure, but for $8 bucks I guess I'll find out. If not, I'll have to tell them it's the closest I can get.
I have purchased stainless from local hardware distributor. The backyard storage building companies often use SS piano for their barns. The look of SS might get away with it. Not quite nickle, but a far cry from brass. I have not asked for brushed nickel but you might look here

They have a heck of a nice hard copy catalogue, but you might find it online. They ship quick and have a boatload. Best of luck.
