DSLD81 LIGHT DUTY DOOR PROTECTOR
DSLD81 Light Duty Hinge Pin Door Protector
The Cal-Royal DSLD81 Light Duty Door Protector is a hinge-pin stop for residential doors where a conventional wall or floor stop may be impractical. Its adjustable angle setting helps establish a stopping position, while rubber bumpers contact the adjacent surfaces. A removable nylon bushing accommodates the listed hinge-pin sizes after checking the actual hinge.
Practical Uses
- Narrow trim: Consider hinge-pin mounting where there is little suitable space for a conventional baseboard stop.
- Avoiding floor-mounted hardware: Provide a light-duty stopping option without adding a fixed projection to the floor.
- Residential room doors: Set a stopping point on a compatible removable-pin hinge arrangement.
Everyday example: A bedroom door opens toward a nearby wall, but the narrow trim leaves little room for a baseboard stop. After checking the hinge pin and contact surfaces, an installer fits the DSLD81 and adjusts it so the handle remains clear of the wall.
Compatibility and Selection
- Listed hinge-pin diameters: 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch, using the removable nylon bushing as appropriate
- Listed hinge sizes: 3-1/2 × 3-1/2 inches and 4 × 4 inches
- Duty/application: Light-duty residential use
- Manufacturer-listed comparison: IVES #69 and #69F; verify fit rather than assuming interchangeability
Fit check: Hinge size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm pin diameter, pin removability, available space, and bumper contact locations before ordering. Do not assume this accessory fits a non-removable-pin, concealed, pivot, or continuous hinge.
Installation Guidance
Support the door: Follow the hinge manufacturer's guidance when removing and reinstalling a pin. Do not force a retained or non-removable pin.
Fit the bushing: Select the appropriate bushing arrangement for the actual pin, then verify the stop seats properly without interfering with hinge movement.
Set the angle: Adjust the stopping position so both bumpers bear on suitable surfaces and the handle clears the wall. Avoid contact with glazing, delicate trim, or an unsupported thin door skin.
Test gently: Open the door slowly to confirm operation, then recheck the pin and adjustment. This light-duty stop is not a wind restraint, hold-open device, or hydraulic door control. Inspect bumper condition and fastening periodically.
Problems It Helps Address
- Limited wall or baseboard mounting space: Uses a compatible hinge pin as the mounting location.
- Excess door opening: Provides an adjustable physical stopping position.
- Door-handle contact with a wall: Helps establish clearance when correctly fitted and adjusted.
