Possibly. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant but not necessarily totally corrosion proof, especially in high humidity/low air circulation environments. Its corrosion resistance factor can be increased by raising the chromium content (chromium content in stainless steel usually ranges from 10.5% to a maximum of 26% of total alloy content).

However, given the appearance criterium you mentioned, John (brass hardware does look nice!), and the fact that both Spanish cedar and mahogany are relatively easily worked woods, I think brass screws, latches and hinges are the way to go.

Of course, stainless steel screws would probably be quite appropriate for any structural applications where the screw heads would then be covered by Spanish cedar liners.
