Protect walls, trim, and door hardware with hinge door stops — compact, hinge-mounted stoppers designed to limit how far a door can swing open.
They’re a smart choice for interior doors, closet doors, bedrooms, bathrooms, and tight spaces where wall-mounted stops aren’t ideal.
Why hinge-mounted stops work so well
Because they install directly on the hinge, hinge door stops help prevent damage without altering walls, baseboards, or trim.
They’re especially useful in rentals, narrow hallways, and rooms where furniture sits near the door swing.
Helps prevent dents, scuffs, and dings on walls, baseboards, and door frames
Reduces stress on door handles, hinges, and nearby furniture from impact
Great for small spaces, apartments, kids’ rooms, and high-traffic areas
Unobtrusive look — no bulky wall stop or floor stop needed
Finish options & easy coordination
Choose from popular finishes like matte black, satin nickel, polished chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze to coordinate with your hinges,
knobs, and levers for a cohesive look throughout your home.
Many hinge door stops are DIY-friendly and install by replacing a hinge pin or attaching to the hinge — a simple, low-cost upgrade that helps
protect your walls and hardware for years.
