Deltana DSST Solid Brass Finial - Steeple Tip

The DSST steeple finial fits Deltana solid brass hinges from 3-1/2 inch through 5 inch sizes. It threads on with an 8 x 1.25mm machine thread, so it replaces the standard tip on those hinges. Hinges outside that size range, or hinges from another maker, are not covered by that fit statement.

Pricing and packaging are per each, one finial per unit. A hinge takes a tip at the top and the bottom of the pin, so a single hinge needs two, and a door hung on three hinges needs six if you are dressing every pin.

No. Threaded finials go on hinge pins whose tips come off, and the DSST is catalogued against hinges without a non-removable pin feature. If the pin is set with an NRP screw and a fixed tip, there is nothing to unthread and swap.

Eighteen finishes, so you can match nearly any Deltana hinge already on the door: Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Bronze Medium, Bronze Dark, Bronze Rust, Rust, White Light, White Medium, White Dark, and Paint Black. For a property manager standardizing a building, order all tips in one finish code rather than mixing lots.

Solid brass, both material and substrate. That matters on unlacquered and antique finishes, where the piece is meant to wear and patina rather than flake the way a plated zinc tip does.

It is purely a look. The steeple tip is the pointed, tapered cap associated with Gothic and Victorian door hardware, where ball and urn tips read rounder and more traditional-colonial. All of them thread onto the same Deltana pin, so pick by what the millwork and the rest of the trim look like, not by function. Deltana's steeple version is the DSST.

Deltana lists the DSST as commercial. Keep in mind it is a plain bearing application, so it suits moderate-traffic openings such as offices, hospitality corridors, and apartment entries rather than a high-cycle exterior opening on ball bearing hinges.
