Pamex DD02-40 Hinge Pin Door Stop

The Pamex DD02-40 projects 2 inches from the hinge pin, and the rubber head screw adjusts over a 1-5/8 inch range so you can set exactly how far the door swings before it stops. That lets you dial in clearance for a doorknob, a piece of trim, or a baseboard heater instead of accepting a fixed stop point.

No drilling at all. The DD02-40 is a hinge pin type, so it clamps onto the existing hinge pin and stops the door at the hinge instead of at the wall. That makes it the usual pick for rental units where you don't want fastener holes in drywall, or where the door swings against glass, tile, or a wall with no solid backing for a base stop.

The Sure-Loc DS9 Hinge Pin Door Stop is the closest straight equivalent - same hinge pin mounting concept, installed on the barrel of an existing butt hinge with no door or wall drilling. The Orca Hardware HPDS Series hinge pin door stop is a second option in the same style. The Pamex DD02-40 itself is zinc die-cast with a 1-5/8 inch adjustable rubber head screw and 2 inch projection from a 5/16 inch diameter hinge pin, so confirm your hinge pin diameter matches whichever you choose.

The Pamex DD02-40 is designated residential. For heavier traffic, the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop is offered as a commercial unit, and heavy duty versions are available as the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, the Orca Hardware HPHD HD Hinge Pin Stop, and the Sure-Loc DS10 Heavy-Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop. On an apartment corridor or office suite door those are the ones to spec.

Nothing else to buy. It ships complete with the rubber stop and the plastic spacer, and the 1-5/8 inch adjustable rubber head screw is part of the assembly. Tools are a hammer or nail set to tap the hinge pin up, and that is it.

Use a hinge pin stop like the DD02-40 when there is nothing solid to anchor into behind the door, when the door swings into a corner, or when you want no holes in the finish. A wall or floor stop takes the impact at the door edge and puts less stress on the hinge, so it is the better answer on heavy doors and on openings that get slammed. The DD02-40 is residential duty and is meant for normal interior doors.

Same-type options from other brands include the Sure-Loc Hinge Pin Door Stop and its heavy-duty version, the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, and the Orca Hardware HPDS and HPHD stops. The Emtek 2241 is a brass hinge pivot stop if you want a solid brass body rather than the zinc die-cast used on the Pamex.

The Pamex DD02-40 is a hinge pin door stop - its adjustable rubber head screw limits how far the door swings so the knob does not hit the wall. If you need the door to stay open, the Orca Hardware HPDS, HPHD and HPST Series units are listed with a door holder function. Property managers doing move-ins or janitorial propping usually want the holder style rather than a plain stop.

No. The Emtek 2241 is a brass hinge pivot stop, a different part built around Emtek's hinge pivot. The Pamex DD02-40 is a zinc die-cast hinge pin stop that clamps to a 5/16 inch diameter hinge pin and projects 2 inches, supplied with a rubber stop and plastic spacer. If you are replacing a standard butt hinge pin stop, stay with the hinge pin style rather than the pivot stop.

The Pamex DD02-40 comes in six finishes: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black and 625 polished chrome, which covers most residential trim packages. The Sure-Loc DS11 Hinge Door Stop and Sure-Loc DS9 Hinge Pin Door Stop are alternatives in the same product style if you are standardizing on a different brand across a unit.
