4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin:
- Identify Hinge: Select a suitable hinge on the door that has a removable hinge pin. The Door Saver is typically installed on the top or middle hinge for optimal performance.
- Remove Existing Pin: Carefully remove the existing hinge pin from the chosen hinge. You may need a hammer and a nail set or screwdriver to tap it out from the bottom.
- Insert Door Saver: Insert the threaded rod of the Ives by Schlage 73Z-619E Door Saver into the top of the hinge barrel, replacing the original hinge pin. Ensure it slides completely through the hinge leaves.
- Adjust Bumper Position: With the Door Saver in place, open the door to the desired maximum angle. Rotate the rubber bumper by turning the threaded rod until the bumper makes firm contact with the door frame or wall at this desired limit.
- Secure Installation: Ensure the Door Saver is securely seated within the hinge. The design allows for a snug fit within the hinge barrel.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the Ives by Schlage 73Z-619E Door Saver Commercial Hinge Pin is installed and properly adjusted, it operates automatically.

6. Maintenance
To ensure continued optimal performance and protection, periodic maintenance is recommended:
- Inspect Bumper: Regularly check the rubber bumper for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. A worn bumper may reduce effectiveness.
- Check Fitment: Verify that the Door Saver remains securely seated within the hinge barrel. If it appears loose, re-seat it firmly.
- Cleaning: Wipe the Door Saver with a clean, damp cloth if dust or grime accumulates. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber or metal finish.
