Ritherdon started designing door and frame units nearly 40 years ago. At that time the answer to this question was clear.

Traditionally, in the street enclosure market, galvanised mild steel had been used (particularly for feeder pillars):  the zinc coating providing a level of protection for the mild steel.  More precise manufacturing is required to produce stainless steel...
