This tip replaces or upgrades standard hinge finials, providing a clean, finished appearance at the hinge pin. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for residential door hardware installations. The Polished Brass Lifetime finish is designed for long-term durability and consistent appearance. At 0.3 pounds, the part is lightweight and straightforward to handle during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by locksmiths, carpenters, or finish hardware installers. Before replacing hinge tips, ensure the door is properly supported and the hinge pin is accessible. Use appropriate pin-removal tools to avoid marring the hinge barrel or surrounding finish. Verify tip thread or press-fit compatibility with the existing hinge before final installation.
