Door Stop Apparatus for Hinge Mounted Doors

A hinge assembly to rotatably secure a door to a door frame, the hinge assembly comprising:

• a door stop apparatus comprising:
• a body with a top side and a bottom side;
• a collar comprising a bore that extends through the body and opens on the top side and the bottom side;
• a wedge section that extends laterally outward from the collar, the wedge section comprising a first surface and a second surface that diverge away from the collar, wherein the first surface and the second surface extends between the top side and the bottom side;
• an engagement surface positioned at the collar and that extends between the top side and the bottom side;
• a hinge plate coupled to the door frame;
• a hinge pin that extends through the bore;
• wherein the engagement surface is configured to contact against the hinge plate to limit an opening movement of the door relative to the door frame at a predetermined angle.

A method of limiting an opening movement of a door, the method comprising:

• inserting a hinge pin through a bore of a door stop apparatus and positioning a contact section of the door stop apparatus that extends outward from the hinge pin between a door frame and the door;
• positioning the door in a closed position with one or both of a first surface of the contact section and a second surface of the contact section being exposed;
• pivoting the door about the hinge pin in a first direction and opening the door;
• simultaneously contacting the first surface against the door and the second surface against a hinge plate that is positioned between the door and the door frame;
• and
• preventing the door from pivoting farther about the hinge pin in the first direction due to the simultaneous contact.
