National Mfg/spectrum Brands Hhi N162-024 Door Stop

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N162-024 is a zinc spring and chain door stop designed to absorb shock and prevent wind damage to screen and storm doors. The spring and chain mechanism limits door travel, reducing stress on hinges, frames, and door closers during high-wind events or accidental overswing. Constructed from zinc for corrosion resistance, this unit ships with mounting screws included and is ready to install without additional hardware. It is a practical, low-profile solution for field technicians and installers working on residential entry and storm door assemblies.

This door stop is suited for residential screen doors and storm doors where wind-induced overextension is a service concern. Installers typically encounter this application during storm door replacement projects, seasonal maintenance calls, or callback situations where existing door hardware has failed due to repeated wind stress. The N162-024 ships in a five-unit package, making it efficient for contractors servicing multiple doors in a single visit or stocking a service vehicle.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, handyman, or door hardware technician using basic hand tools. Secure the chain anchor to the door frame and the spring bracket to the door face at a position that limits travel to the desired range. Ensure the door is in the closed position and all tension is released from the spring before final fastener tightening. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for exterior door hardware installation.
