Orca Hardware HPST Series Hinge Pin Stop

No drilling. The Orca Hardware HPST Series hinge pin stop replaces the pin in an existing butt hinge, so the stop rides on the hinge barrel and catches the door before the knob hits the wall. That makes it the go-to fix in a finished room where you don't want a fastener in the baseboard or the door face. It works as a door holder, stopping swing travel rather than latching the door open.

The Orca Hardware HPST Series hinge pin stop is specified for residential application, so for a commercial opening the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop (DLY-40120X) is the one built for that use, with the Sure-Loc Heavy-Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop (SUR-DS10) as a heavier-duty option in the same mounting style. Keep in mind that a hinge pin stop of any brand mounts on the hinge and transfers the stopping load into the hinge leaves and door edge, so on high-traffic commercial doors many specs call for a floor or wall stop instead.

The Sure-Loc Hinge Pin Door Stop (SUR-DS9) is the closest like-for-like swap - it is the same type of part, a stop that clamps onto the hinge barrel rather than mounting to the door face or baseboard, so no new holes are drilled. The Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop (DLY-402XXX) is another hinge-pin stop in the same family. The Orca HPST is a zinc alloy part specified for residential use and functions as a door holder, so for apartment and single-family turns any of the three land in the same place on the door.

Zinc alloy. That's the standard material for this class of stop: fine for apartment and single-family interior doors where a tenant bumps a door open a few times a day, but it's a residential-duty part. Property managers standardizing across a building of interior passage doors can spec it in one finish across every unit.

A hinge pin stop like the Orca HPST is the choice when you can't or don't want to fasten into the wall or the door, and when the door swings into a wall the knob would mark. It limits how far the door opens, which is also its drawback: it puts the stopping load on the hinge, and it won't hold a door open. Where the door needs to swing fully and just needs protection at the wall, a wall or floor bumper is the better part.

Same style, other brands: Sure-Loc offers a hinge pin door stop, a hinge door stop, and a heavy-duty hinge pin version. Delaney has a heavy duty hinge pin door stop and a Door Saver commercial hinge pin stop. Emtek's 2241 is a brass hinge pivot stop if you want brass rather than the zinc alloy the Orca uses.

No. The Emtek 2241 is a brass hinge pivot stop, a different part that works with pivot-style hinge hardware, while the Orca Hardware HPST Series is a zinc alloy hinge pin stop that clamps to a standard butt hinge. If you are replacing a stop on a conventional butt-hinged door, the HPST or another hinge pin stop such as the Sure-Loc Hinge Door Stop (SUR-DS11) is the matching part, not the 2241.

Four: oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, polished chrome, and black. Pick the one that matches the hinges already in the opening rather than the lockset, since the stop sits on the hinge barrel and reads as part of the hinge.

The Orca Hardware HPST Series hinge pin stop orders as TH-HPST, with finish as the only choice you make: oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, polished chrome, or black. There's no handing or size to specify.

The Orca Hardware HPST Series hinge pin stop is offered in Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome and Black, which covers the four finishes most often already on residential lever and hinge packages, so one part number carries a mixed-finish portfolio. If a particular opening needs a heavier hinge-mounted stop, the Sure-Loc Heavy-Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop (SUR-DS10) and the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop (DLY-402XXX) are the comparable parts to pair with it.
