Orca Hardware HPDS Hinge Pin Door Stop

Not with the HPDS. It is not ADA compliant, so on an opening where you need to meet accessibility requirements it should not be scheduled. Institutional and government buyers working to an ADA hardware set need to spec elsewhere for those doors and keep the HPDS to residential interiors.

No drilling. A hinge pin stop clamps onto the barrel of an existing butt hinge, so you pull the hinge pin, seat the stop, and drop the pin back in. Nothing goes into the door face, the baseboard, or the drywall. That is the reason landlords and remodelers reach for this type over a baseboard or wall bumper on painted or papered walls, and why it comes back out with no patching at turnover.

The Orca HPDS is rated for residential application, so for a corridor door, a tenant entry in a commercial building or any opening seeing traffic beyond a house, look at the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop, DLY-40120X, which is a commercial hinge pin door stop in the Door Saver line. It installs the same way, on the hinge barrel in place of the pin, so the opening does not need to be re-prepped to move up from the residential unit. MRO and institutional buyers standardizing a building generally want the commercial part on the traffic doors and can keep the residential stop for back-of-house or dwelling-unit interiors.

The Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, DLY-402XXX, is the nearest match. Both are hinge pin door stops, meaning the stop clamps around an existing hinge barrel and replaces the hinge pin rather than mounting to the floor, baseboard or wall, so neither one puts a new fastener into finished surfaces. The Orca HPDS is zinc alloy and comes in Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome and Black, so a property manager swapping stops across a run of doors can hold the same finish family while changing brands.

A hinge pin stop like the HPDS stops the door at the hinge and needs no wall anchor, which suits rental interiors where you don't want fasteners in the drywall and where the door swings into an open wall with no convenient backing. A wall or floor stop takes the impact at the door edge instead and handles harder use. Since the HPDS is a residential-duty part, heavy-traffic doors are better served by a heavier hinge pin unit such as Delaney's Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, or by a floor or wall stop.

Zinc alloy, plated to the finish you order. Zinc alloy is the standard material for residential builder hardware and is fine for normal interior use, including bathrooms. It is a residential-duty part, so exterior or salt-air exposure is not what it is built for. If you want a brass-bodied hinge stop, the Emtek 2241 Brass Hinges Pivot Stop is the brass option.

Hinge pin stops are not handed. The same HPDS unit goes on a left or right hand door because it clamps around the hinge barrel rather than referencing a strike or a lock face. Order by finish and quantity only, no handing to call out. That is what makes it easy to buy in bulk for a whole building.

Both. It is built as a door holder, which on a hinge pin stop means an adjustable stop that arrests the swing and holds the door at that point rather than letting it drift back. Set the stop screw shallower and the door parks further open, deeper and it stops sooner. Useful in a unit where you want a bedroom or closet door to stay put.

No. The Emtek 2241 is a brass hinges pivot stop, a different part built around a pivot action, while the Orca HPDS is a zinc alloy hinge pin door stop that takes the place of the hinge pin in the hinge barrel. A contractor ordering the 2241 expecting a drop-in hinge pin replacement is ordering a different piece of hardware. If the intent is to arrest the door off an existing hinge without new holes, stay with a hinge pin stop such as the Orca HPDS or the Delaney DLY-402XXX.

The Orca HPDS is a door holder, so it is meant to catch and hold the leaf at the set point rather than only cushion the swing. The Delaney DLY-402XXX heavy duty hinge pin door stop and the Delaney DLY-40120X Door Saver commercial hinge pin door stop are the other hinge pin stops to weigh for the same opening. All three mount at the hinge, which is what a property manager wants when the floor is finished and a wall stop would land on drywall with no blocking behind it.

Four: oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, polished chrome, and black. That covers the common apartment hinge finishes, so a property manager matching the stop to hinges and levers already in the unit has a match in most buildings without mixing metals on the same door.

One per door. The HPDS goes on a single hinge, normally the top hinge where it is out of sight and out of the way of feet, and that one unit controls the swing. Buying a stop for every hinge is wasted money. For a building-wide rollout, count doors and pick the finish per unit.

The Orca HPDS is zinc alloy; the Emtek 2241 is brass. Distributors comparing the two are looking at different base metals in parts that serve the same general purpose of stopping a door at the hinge, so the finish behavior and the feel in hand differ even where the plated color reads similarly. The Orca HPDS carries Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome and Black, which is the practical list to match against when a job specifies a finish rather than a metal.
