National Mfg N208-033 Hinge Pin Door Closer Dull Brass

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N208-033 is a hinge pin door closer designed to replace a standard hinge pin and automatically return a door to the closed position without a surface-mounted closer unit. The N208-033 installs directly into an existing hinge barrel, making it a low-profile solution for interior doors in residential and light commercial applications. It ships with a dull brass finish to blend with standard brass hardware. Each pack contains one closer unit. Installation requires no special framing modifications — only the existing hinge location.

This hinge pin door closer is suited for interior swinging doors in residential homes, apartments, offices, and light commercial spaces where automatic door closing is required without a bulky overhead or surface-mounted device. It is designed for use with National No. 512 and No. 504 hinges. Typical applications include utility rooms, mechanical rooms, and fire-rated corridor doors where code may require self-closing hardware. One closer per door is the standard installation.

Installation Notes

A general contractor or finish carpenter typically installs hinge pin door closers, though the task is within reach of a knowledgeable DIYer. Remove the door from the frame before swapping the hinge pin to avoid injury from door movement during installation. Confirm the hinge barrel diameter matches the N208-033 pin diameter before installation. Do not force the pin into an incompatible hinge — consult the hinge manufacturer specification if fitment is uncertain.
