Delaney Door Saver Hinge Pin Door Stop

No drilling. The Door Saver mounts on the hinge itself and installs in seconds with no tools, so nothing gets fastened to the door face, the wall, or the base. That's the reason property managers use hinge pin stops on rental turns: no patching, no anchors, and nothing left behind in the door when it comes off. It also stops the door by bracing against the hinge rather than pressing on the door face.

It's hinge mounted and stated to fit all doors, and the body measures 1-1/2 x 1-5/8 inches, so it sits in the knuckle area of a standard butt hinge without hanging out past the barrel. Since it rides on the hinge, door thickness and material don't enter into it the way they do with a baseboard-mounted stop.

The Orca Hardware HPDS Hinge Pin Door Stop is the nearest match in form and function. Both are hinge pin door stops that mount on the hinge barrel rather than the wall or floor, and the HPDS is a door holder type stop like the Door Saver. The Delaney Door Saver is a zinc part measuring 1-1/2 inch by 1-5/8 inch and comes in eight finishes including 605 bright brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, and 625 bright chrome, so a property manager standardizing a fleet of doors has finish range to match existing trim.

The Orca Hardware HPHD HD Hinge Pin Stop is the heavy duty variant in the hinge pin category, built as a door holder for the same hinge barrel mounting position. It is worth looking at for corridor doors, entries, and multi-family common areas where the stop takes repeated contact. The Delaney Door Saver is a zinc hinge pin stop at 1-1/2 inch by 1-5/8 inch that braces against the hinge so it never contacts the door face, which is the reason to choose it on doors where surface damage is the concern.

A hinge pin stop needs a hinge barrel to mount on, so on a pivot hung door the Emtek 2241 Brass Hinges Pivot Stop is the part built for that condition. The Delaney Door Saver installs on the hinge with no tools and is hinge mounted to fit all doors, which assumes a standard hinge is present in the opening.

Hinge pin stops are the choice when you can't put an anchor in the wall or the floor, when the wall behind the door is glass, tile, or a finished panel, or when you're doing a lot of doors fast. A wall or floor stop catches the door at the knob edge and takes the impact further from the hinge, which is gentler on the hinge under heavy traffic. The Door Saver's angle is that it stops the swing off the hinge barrel without contacting the door face at all, so it can't mar the door slab the way a bumper that presses on the door can.

Zinc is the substrate, which is the usual material for hinge pin stops and gives it a solid cast body rather than a stamped spring clip. Bear in mind that any hinge pin stop transfers the stopping force into the hinge, so on a heavy commercial door swung hard all day, a floor stop is easier on the hardware. For apartment interiors, offices, and residential openings, a zinc hinge pin stop is the normal spec.

Eight finishes: 622 Matte Black, US1 White, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 605 Bright Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 625 Bright Chrome, US15A Antique Nickel, and 619 Satin Nickel. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 619 satin nickel and 626 satin chrome hardware, 605 bright brass, and 613 oil-rubbed bronze trim will read as a match across the opening. The US1 White option is the one to pick when your hinges are painted white to disappear into a white door and casing.

Yes, that's the point of the hinge pin type. Where the stop sits on the hinge determines the stop angle, so you set how wide the door swings before it catches. Handing is not a concern either, since the Door Saver works off the hinge barrel and the same part serves a left-hand or right-hand door.

All are hinge-mounted stops for the same job. The Delaney Door Saver is a zinc body measuring 1-1/2 x 1-5/8 inches and offered in eight finishes including a white. Orca lists three: the HPDS Series standard hinge pin door stop, the HPHD Series heavy-duty hinge pin stop, and the HPST Series, all catalogued as door holders. The HPHD is the one to look at if you want a heavier-duty version of the same idea. Emtek also does the 2241 brass pivot stop for the hinge if brass is what your trim package calls for.

The Door Saver is a stop, not a holder. It arrests the swing at the angle you set it so the knob or lever never reaches the wall, but it won't hold the door in the open position against a draft or a closer. If you need the leaf held open, that's a separate item, a floor-mounted hold-open stop or a hold-open arm on the closer.

No contact with the door slab at all. The Door Saver braces against the hinge, so unlike a bumper-tip stop there's no rubber tip pressing into the paint or veneer and no screw hole in the door. That is the specific problem this design was built to solve, and it is why it turns up on units with painted flush doors where every mark is a touch-up at turnover.

No. The Emtek 2241 is a brass pivot stop and the Delaney Door Saver is a hinge pin door stop that mounts on the hinge and installs in seconds with no tools. They look adjacent in a catalog and both stop a door short of the wall, but they attach to different parts of the opening, so a contractor replacing a Door Saver on a hinged door should stay with a hinge pin stop such as the Orca HPDS or HPHD.

One per door does the job. A hinge pin stop goes on a single hinge, normally the top one where it's out of sight and out of the way of anyone's shoulder, and it arrests the swing there. Ordering is by finish only on the Door Saver, so for a building you're picking one finish and a count of doors.
