jleamont Report post Posted January 12, 2020 That’s interesting they are plastic now, not surprised I guess. We had a few of those at the house that were some sort of white metal. I broke most of them over the years that were frozen shut. They were duplex outlets that were hinged on the sides rather than the top. We had them around the outside of the house. Not sure if there were original, but the house was built in 57. They weren’t spring loaded, they had a tab that locked them closed with a loop in it, looked like you could hang a small padlock on it also. Post some finished product photos when you are done, hopefully you can keep the original look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted January 13, 2020 it is accurately named Galvanic corrosion, as there is no electricity involved. Aluminum and brass are not far apart of the galvanic action scale, so should not cause near-future problems; 10 years from installation you may need to replace the rivets.
