Deltana HP70 Hinge Pin Stop, Hinge Mounted

That's exactly the situation a hinge pin stop is for. The HP70 mounts on the door's existing hinge, so nothing gets screwed into the door, the baseboard, or the floor. It limits how far the door swings open rather than catching it at the end of its travel, so it works where a wall-mount or floor-mount stop has nothing to land on, behind a door that opens into a closet return, or where the wall behind is glass or tile you don't want to drill.

No. The HP70 installs on a hinge that's already in the door, so the door stays hung. You pull the pin on that hinge, seat the stop over the barrel, and drop the pin back through. One hinge, no boring, no new screw holes in the door or the trim, which is why property managers use these on unit doors where they don't want to patch anything later.

For commercial traffic, specify the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop - it is the commercial version of the same hinge-mounted stop. The Deltana HP70 is a residential-duty stop, which suits apartment interiors, unit bedroom and bath doors, and single-family work. On corridor doors, offices, and anything in a building that sees public traffic, put the commercial Door Saver on it. If you are standardizing a mixed property, it is common to run the Delaney Door Saver in the public areas and the HP70 inside the units where the finish has to match the rest of the trim.

The Orca Hardware HPST Series hinge pin stop is the nearest one-for-one swap. Both are hinge pin stops that mount on an existing hinge, so the opening prep is the same and no new holes go into the door or the jamb. The HP70 is solid brass, which is what carries the plated and living finishes like unlacquered brass and antique nickel. If the stop is in a spot where the finish has to match the lever and the hinges, that brass body is the reason to stay on the HP70; if it is behind a door in a back hallway where nobody is looking at it, the Orca HPST does the same job.

Move up to a heavy duty hinge pin stop. The Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop and the Orca Hardware HPHD HD Hinge Pin Stop are both built as heavy duty versions of the same hinge-mounted design, so they install on an existing hinge exactly the way the HP70 does but are made for the load a solid-core or oversized entry door puts on a stop. The Deltana HP70 is a residential-duty stop in solid brass, which is the right build for interior bedroom and bath doors and the wrong one for a slab that slams. Same prep either way - you are only pulling a hinge pin, so you can swap without patching anything.

No. The Deltana HP70 restricts how far the door swings open; it is a stop, not a hold-open. If you need the door to stand open on its own - a unit door during a turn, a supply room, a door you are carrying through - specify the Orca Hardware HPDS Hinge Pin Door Stop or the Orca Hardware HPHD HD Hinge Pin Stop, both of which are built as door holders. Both mount on an existing hinge the same way the HP70 does, so the choice comes down to whether you want the swing limited or the door held.

Solid brass, both body and substrate. Brass doesn't rust, so a bathroom, a laundry, or a humid coastal interior isn't a problem for the metal itself. The finish is what decides appearance over time: the PVD Polished Brass version uses a physical vapor deposition coating that resists tarnish, while Unlacquered Brass is meant to patina and will darken with handling and humidity. If you want it to look the same in five years, don't order unlacquered.

One per door does the job, and the HP70 is sold as a single unit, each one bagged individually. It goes on one hinge, typically the top one where it's out of sight and out of reach of kids. If you're doing a whole unit or a floor of a building, order one per opening and count your doors, not your hinges.

They solve the problem from opposite ends. A baseboard or wall stop catches the door after it has already swung, and it needs a solid surface in the right spot. A hinge pin stop like the HP70 sits on the hinge and limits the swing itself, so the door never reaches the wall at all. That makes it the answer when there's no wall behind the door, when the door would hit a cabinet, radiator, or window trim, or when you don't want fasteners in the finished surface. The tradeoff: all the stopping force goes through one hinge, which is why this one is specified for residential doors.

Stopping is what the HP70 does. It restricts the swing so the door goes no further than you set it. If what you actually want is a door that stays put where you leave it, that's a holder function, and the Orca Hardware HPDS and HPHD hinge pin products are listed as door holders. Worth being clear on which one you need before ordering, since they mount the same way but behave differently once the door is open.

Within the same hinge-mounted type, the alternatives are the Orca Hardware HPST Series hinge pin stop, the Orca HPHD heavy duty version, the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, and the Delaney Door Saver commercial hinge pin stop. Emtek's 2241 Brass Hinges Pivot Stop is the closest peer on material, brass like the HP70. The HP70's argument is finish range: twelve options, including several brass tones and Paint Black, which matters more on a residential opening where the stop is visible than on a back-of-house door.

The Deltana HP70 is the brass-bodied option in the hinge pin stop group and it comes in twelve finishes, including polished brass, PVD polished brass, unlacquered brass, antique brass, brushed brass, polished nickel, brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome, oil rubbed bronze, and paint black. That range is why it gets specified on openings where the stop is visible next to the lever and the hinges. The Emtek 2241 is also a brass part, but it is a pivot stop rather than a hinge pin stop, so it is not a finish alternative for the same opening.

They are not interchangeable. The Deltana HP70 is a hinge pin stop - it mounts on an existing hinge and limits how far the door swings open. The Emtek 2241 is a pivot stop for brass hinges, a different part that works with the hinge in a different way. If what you have in the door is a standard butt hinge and you want to stop the lever from hitting the wall, the hinge pin stop is the part; order the Emtek 2241 only if you specifically need a pivot stop. Both are brass-bodied, so the two get confused in a parts bin - check the part number, not the look.

Both Orca parts are hinge pin door holders and both mount on an existing hinge, same as the Deltana HP70, so any of the three drops into the same opening with nothing more than pulling a hinge pin. The HPHD is Orca's heavy duty version, so it is the one to put on the heavier slabs in the building; the HPDS is the standard-series holder for ordinary interior doors. The HP70 differs from both in what it does - it limits the swing rather than holding the door open - and it is the solid brass one, so it is the choice where the stop has to match brass or nickel trim. A common split on a fleet job is HP70 inside the units and HPHD on the heavy doors.

No. The HP70 goes onto the hinge barrel and works the same on a left-hand or right-hand door, so there's nothing to specify beyond the finish. That's a real advantage over stops that mount to the door face or the frame, where you have to get the side right. Order by finish alone.
