I’ve used stainless piano hinges on all my interior doors plus all the outside compartment doors on Argo, fastening them either with rivets or screws. They work like a charm and are very clean looking.
I buy them from McMaster Carr in the widths I need and cut them to length with a hacksaw. They can be fastened with countersunk screws or, in the case of the rear door, I’d probably use truss head sheet metal screws. I’ve noticed that my hinges on the rear door show a bit of rust on the insides, the pin part. I may just replace them with piano hinges.
