Having difficulties removing pin. I would like to install a hinge door stop with these hinges, but the pin will not come out. Any ideas?

Have you tried a hammer and an awl? That's usually how I pop out pesky pins

I had to use a hammer and a long metal punch to get it out. It is the only way I was able to get it out to install a door stop without damaging the finish.

Use a hammer and a big nail, or a pin punch and drift it out from the bottom. Using a hinge type door stop eventually damages the door, and the trim. Only use as a last resort. There are other options.

Yes the hinge comes with the pin. These are very good hinges and easy to install.

Yes, the pins can be removed, just not very easily! I had no luck getting them out by using a screw driver and trying to angle the pin loose at at the top. I was able to find a very small screwdriver whose head I was able to fit through the opening on the bottom of the hinge, and through some heavy pounding with a hammer I was able to get the pin out. It took a lot of force to remove the pin, which was most evident when the pin flew all the way across the room and hit the wall when it finally came out.

Pop the pin out of the hinge first, then when the door is detached from the wall unscrew the hinges from the door and frame. When replacing new hinges, leave the bottom hinge on the door and the wall slightly loose, making it easy to slide the hinges together and put the pin in. Then tighten the screws. Unfortunately when I replaced my hinges they were very old and the pin did not actually come out, in that case I suggest putting a piece of wood or rolled towel or something to that effect between the bottom of the door and the floor to help support, then unscrew the hinge from the bottom wall, then top wall, then from the door.

I have this tool and it has a good pin, works well although removing a pin is much easier than putting one in, truly a test of patience...omg...if your pin is bent you outta ask the seller for a replacement or refund

I never measured the pin hole, but the shape has a lot to do with it. If you can find a replacement that is for the brand and size you have, that is the best. Otherwise, look at the shape of the door you are replacing. I have only had one that I cannot find a replacement for.

Yeah, just be sure you do not push the pin all the way out. Check out a youtube video. There is several good ones that show how it is done.

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

You don't have to remove the door, however, there may be some prep work for installing the hinge shield section. In my doors, I didn't use the hinge shield because in my personal experience, I've never seen a door kicked in at the hinges. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I've never seen it.

Hi, I dismantled it using a screw driver to pop the little pin heads in, and then to pop them back out. Annoying but I did it to take it apart and put it together again.

Mark,They are hinged together, so if you wanted to remove one you would have to unscrew the hinges. Obviously this is not the best solution if you intend to switch back and forth between using 2 or 3. However, I have used this in a smaller doorway also, and just "doubled up" the one panel, since they do fold flat onto each other. That was like using only 2.

The notch in the front of the door looks like it should be it, but that's just a recess for the latch that holds the door closed. There should be a small slit/notch in the back of whatever adapter you put in (take a look at one of the other adapters to get the idea of where it is). You can probably pry it with a dime, but you can also use a sharp knife in the slot and just pull straight up -- comes out with hardly any force.

There is a small push pin on the door panel inside the hinge side. Push that to reset the PIN.

Any normal door hinge.. pin is same size. Hammer and screwdriver to remove the old existing pin and replace with this device. You can mount this on any hinge - doesn't have to be the top hinge.

I don't know either. I tried to keep it open by placing a straight pin in the opening but now I can't get that out either. It is a problem.

If I understand your question, you can probably press or punch the allen to remove it from the socket end. You may end up with a loose fitting assembly if you plan on putting it back together. There is no allen screw or pin holding this assembly together. I would guess it is a "Press fit" assembly. You might be better off buying a set of sockets. :-)

Mine installed as the directions showed. Install the hinge in the door insert and then I had someone hold the door while I put one screw on the top and bottom hinge on the side of the unit. I then loosened the screws that are part of the hinges and closed the door and made adjustments to the gap after putting the stop pads on the corners of the door. When the gaps were correct I tightened the adjusting screws.
