Ives Hinge Pin Door Stops

Choosing an Ives Hinge Pin Door Stop

Ives hinge pin door stops provide a way to limit door swing at the hinge when a conventional wall, floor or baseboard stop is not desirable. The manufacturer describes these products as options for lightweight, low-frequency doors, with suitability depending on the selected model. Begin with the door and hinge arrangement, then compare the stop's fit and adjustment. Choose the mounting style for the opening before deciding which finish best coordinates with the existing hardware.

This collection includes Ives 69F, 70A, 70B, 70Z and related hinge-pin stop listings, as well as a 72Z Door Saver model. These designations help identify the available choices, but they should not be treated as interchangeable versions of one product. Review the selected model's hinge requirements, dimensions, construction and adjustment information. Where several doors need stops, record the hinge details for each opening rather than assuming that every door in the building uses the same preparation.

Hinge size and hinge-pin diameter are important selection details. Check the manufacturer's information for the exact stop and whether its supplied bushing or mounting arrangement suits the installed hinge. Also review the available space around the hinge and trim. If the hinge construction or surrounding clearance does not suit the selected stop, compare another mounting style instead of choosing solely by appearance. The broader Ives door stops collection provides a useful starting point for that comparison.

Compare the adjustment range with the opening angle needed for everyday use, and follow the selected model's installation instructions. The goal is to limit unwanted door travel while retaining the opening clearance the room requires. Review where the stop will make contact and whether that arrangement suits the door and trim. During replacement work, identify the old stop when possible, but check its suitability again if the hinges, trim or door have changed since it was installed.

Once fit and operation are established, select the material and finish from the options offered for that item. Use the complete model and finish designation when matching multiple stops or ordering replacements. Review package contents and installation information before purchase so any required components are accounted for. For openings better suited to another arrangement, compare Ives wall, floor and baseboard stops; for other coordinated accessories, return to the main Ives door hardware collection.
