Deltana DSAT Solid Brass Finial - Acorn Tip

The DSAT acorn tip fits Deltana solid brass hinges from 3-1/2 inch through 5 inch. It threads on at 8 x 1.25mm, so it's made for the Deltana hinge pin, not as a universal tip. If your hinges are another brand, or Deltana hinges smaller than 3-1/2 inch, this isn't the tip for them.

8 x 1.25mm. That's a metric machine thread on the finial, matching the tapped end of the Deltana solid brass hinge pin. Take the existing tip off one hinge and check the thread before you order a box of them for a building.

They're sold each, and a hinge takes two, one at the top of the pin and one at the bottom. So a door on three hinges needs six DSAT finials. Price and packaging are per single tip, so count the hinges, not the doors.

That's exactly what the DSAT is for. The decorative tip unscrews from the hinge pin, so you can swap a plain button tip for an acorn on Deltana solid brass hinges already hung, no door off the frame and no re-mortising. It's a finish change, not a hardware change: the hinge, bearing, and pin stay as they are.

7/8 inch high with a 1/2 inch diameter, in solid brass. On a 3-1/2 inch hinge that acorn reads as a noticeable decorative cap; on a 5 inch hinge it sits in proportion with the larger barrel.

Eleven: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you're matching existing Deltana hinges in a building, order the tip in the same finish code as the hinge, and note that Unlacquered Brass is meant to patina while PVD Polished Brass holds its color.

No. Decorative tips thread onto a standard removable pin, and a hinge set up with an NRP set screw won't take a swap. The DSAT itself is a plain bearing, non-NRP accessory. On an exterior out-swing door where you specified NRP for security, leave the pin alone.

Purely decorative profile. The DSAT gives a rounded acorn cap, roughly 7/8 inch tall by 1/2 inch across; ball tips read rounder and shorter, steeple tips come to a point and are the traditional choice on Victorian and Colonial work. All Deltana solid brass tips share the same 8 x 1.25mm thread and the same 3-1/2 inch to 5 inch hinge range, so the choice is style, not fit.

They're classed commercial. Solid brass, threaded onto the hinge pin, so there's nothing to fatigue in normal use. The practical caution in a hotel, hospital, or multi-family corridor is that a threaded tip on a removable pin can be unscrewed by hand, so keep them on interior and in-swing openings and stay with a fixed or NRP pin where security drives the opening.
