Deltana DSST3-UNL Steeple Tip Unlacquered Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA DSST3-UNL is a steeple tip finish piece designed to cap the exposed hinge pin on standard butt hinges, providing a clean, finished appearance at the top and bottom of the hinge barrel. Measuring 1.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, this tip installs directly onto the hinge pin in place of the standard flat or button cap. It is finished in unlacquered bright brass, which allows the metal to develop a natural patina over time. Sold individually, it suits finish carpentry and architectural hardware installations where a decorative steeple profile is specified.

Steeple tips are commonly used in residential and light commercial door hardware applications where exposed hinge pins are visible and aesthetic detail matters. They are typically specified on interior and exterior passage doors, cabinet doors, and furniture pieces where solid brass hardware is used throughout. Installation is handled by finish carpenters, millwork installers, or locksmiths during door hardware fitting or replacement work.

Compatibility

Designed as a decorative hinge pin cap replacement for standard butt hinges that accept removable steeple-style tips, typically used in residential and light commercial door hardware applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by finish carpenters or locksmiths and requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools. The hinge pin should be fully removed from the hinge barrel before fitting the steeple tip to ensure proper seating. Confirm pin diameter compatibility with the existing hinge set before installation. No fasteners or adhesives are typically required as the tip press-fits onto the hinge pin.
