ones that were on the boat when purchased may or may not have been factory, but were rusted out and broken. Replaced with home center duplicates for a couple of bucks a set, rusted out in one year. Replaced with brass plated home scenter dulpicates, one year. Replaced with SS replacements from Catalina Direct which were supposed to be exact factory duplicates. They are too thick and the holes don't line up. I re-drilled and installed anyhow because I was tired of dealing with the whole thing. Locker lids do not exactly line up now but the hinges have not rusted.....
Regarding CD, I agree with Keith, careful what you buy. I also purchased a set of "factory replacement" hinges for my forward hatch. When delivered they were still in the West Marine packaging.
