Pamex DD02-42 Deluxe Hinge Pin Door Stop

Yes. The DD02-42 carries a 1-13/16 inch adjustable rubber head screw, so you back the screw out to stop the door sooner or run it in to let the door swing further. That is the whole point of the hinge pin type: the stop point is set at the hinge instead of being fixed by where a baseboard stop was screwed into the floor or wall.

A hinge pin stop like the DD02-42 is the choice when you cannot or do not want to put a fastener into the wall or floor, since it clamps to the 5/16 inch hinge pin and needs no prep at all. That makes it fast on turnover work and on hollow walls with no blocking behind the drywall. The tradeoff: all the stopping force goes back through the hinge leaf and the door, so a wall bumper or a floor stop is the better answer on a heavy or hard-used door. The DD02-42 is specified for residential use, not commercial traffic.

Pamex lists the DD02-42 as residential. For an office suite, a school corridor, or any door getting commercial traffic, look at a commercial hinge pin stop instead: the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop or the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop are the heavier options. For apartment interiors, condo units, and single family work, the DD02-42 is the intended application.

The Orca Hardware HPDS Hinge Pin Door Stop is the nearest like-for-like: it is an HPDS Series hinge pin stop that mounts on the hinge the same way the DD02-42 does, and it is catalogued with a door holder function. The Pamex DD02-42 is zinc die-cast, measures 2-1/2 inches by 1-3/4 inches overall, and projects 2-1/2 inches from a 5/16 inch diameter hinge pin, with a rubber stop, plastic spacer, and a 1-13/16 inch adjustable rubber head screw. If you are matching a hinge pin stop already on the other doors, confirm the existing hinge pin diameter is 5/16 inch before ordering either.

The Pamex DD02-42 Deluxe Hinge Pin Door Stop is designated residential. For a commercial corridor or a leased suite door, the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop is the commercial-duty hinge pin stop in the same format, and the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop and the Orca HPHD HD Hinge Pin Stop are the heavy duty versions of the same mounting approach. All three hang off the hinge rather than requiring a wall or floor anchor, so the swap does not change the install.

Not handed. The DD02-42 works on a left or right hand door because it clamps to a round 5/16 inch pin and the adjustable head just needs to point back toward the wall. Placement does matter: mount it on the top hinge on a standard door so the stop is out of the way, and make sure the 2-1/2 inch projection has clear space to meet flat wall rather than landing on a light switch, trim, or a chair rail.

The Pamex DD02-42 is the residential deluxe unit: zinc die-cast, 1-13/16 inch adjustable rubber head screw, plastic spacer included, and six BHMA finishes to match unit hardware. Delaney's Door Saver is a commercial hinge pin stop and their other unit is a heavy duty hinge pin stop, both worth a look for common corridors and back of house doors. Orca's HPDS, HPHD, and HPST hinge pin units function as door holders rather than plain stops, so pick those only where you want the door to park open. For unit interiors where you want a clean matched finish and a fast install with no wall prep, the Pamex is the straight fit.

Not directly. The Emtek 2241 is a brass hinges pivot stop, a different part built on a pivot stop series, while the Pamex DD02-42 is a zinc die-cast hinge pin door stop that clamps to a 5/16 inch diameter hinge pin and projects 2-1/2 inches with an adjustable rubber head screw. If the requirement is specifically a stop that rides on the hinge pin of an existing butt hinge, stay with a hinge pin stop such as the DD02-42, the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, or the Orca HPST Series Hinge Pin Stop.

The Pamex DD02-42 is built as a stop: a zinc die-cast body with a rubber stop, plastic spacer, and a 1-13/16 inch adjustable rubber head screw that limits how far the door swings. Where the requirement is a hinge-mounted unit carrying a door holder function, the Orca Hardware HPDS, HPHD, and HPST hinge pin stops are all listed with a door holder function. On a unit turnover where you only need to keep the leaf off the drywall, the DD02-42 covers it.

The contact point on the DD02-42 is a rubber stop on the end of the adjustable screw, so rubber meets the wall, not the zinc die-cast body. The one thing to watch is the 2-1/2 inch projection from the pin: set the screw so the rubber lands on flat wall surface. If it lands on a corner of trim or a switch plate, back the screw off and stop the door earlier.

The Pamex DD02-42 Deluxe Hinge Pin Door Stop comes in six finishes: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, and 625 polished chrome, so it can be matched to most existing lever and hinge finishes on a standardized door schedule. Comparable hinge pin stops include the Delaney Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin Door Stop, the Delaney Heavy Duty Hinge Pin Door Stop, and the Orca HPDS, HPHD, and HPST hinge pin stops. The Emtek 2241 is a brass hinges pivot stop rather than a hinge pin stop.
