Pamex DD0281 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will Pamex DD02-81 silencers work in a hollow metal door frame?
Yes, the DD02-81 is the metal-frame version. Metal frame silencers push into a drilled hole in the stop of a hollow metal frame; wood frame silencers use a different body and are not interchangeable. If the frames on your job are wood, you want the wood-frame silencer instead.
2) What size hole do I drill for a Pamex DD02-81 door silencer?
The silencer has a 1/2 inch base diameter, so the hole in the frame stop is drilled to accept that 1/2 inch body. Projection is 1/8 inch, which is how far the rubber bumper stands proud of the stop and how much gap it takes up between door and frame.
3) How many silencers do I need per door opening?
Three per single door is the standard install, two on the strike jamb and one at the head, so a 100 piece box of DD02-81 silencers covers about 33 openings. A pair of doors typically takes four, two at each head leaf position. Buying by the 100 count box is the normal way to stock these for a building or a punch list.
4) Do rubber door silencers actually stop a metal door from banging?
They cushion the door against the frame stop, which kills the metal-on-metal clack and the rattle when the door is pushed or the HVAC shifts pressure. The DD02-81 is durable rubber with 1/8 inch projection, so it takes up the small gap without holding the door off the stop enough to affect latching.
5) Are Pamex DD02-81 silencers rated for commercial door traffic?
Pamex lists the DD02-81 as a residential product. For apartments, single family rental units, and light interior openings it is the right call. For a high traffic commercial corridor or an institutional opening under a maintenance spec, look at a silencer rated for commercial use.
6) Is a door silencer the same thing as a door stop or bumper?
No, and they solve different problems. A silencer like the DD02-81 is a small rubber insert in the frame stop that quiets the door as it closes. A door stop or wall bumper limits how far the door swings open so the lever does not punch the drywall. Most openings need both, and one does not substitute for the other.
7) What color are the Pamex DD02-81 silencers, and will they show on a painted frame?
Gray rubber. Against a primed or light painted hollow metal frame the 1/8 inch bumper reads as a small neutral dot in the stop; on a dark frame it is more visible. Since it sits in the stop rather than on the face, it is out of sight when the door is closed.
