Boring door hinge question

[Acuity31]

I thought with door hinges the pin can be knocked out from below, however this hinge pin is domed on both ends. I then assumed the bottom dome is just a cover which can be prised off but after faffing about for a while I wasn't getting anywhere, then I read somewhere that you simply can't hammer the pin out as it is sold as one unit.
Is this the case? Reason being is I bought a door stopper which mounts on the pin and stops the door fully opening, as a short term solution to stopping it hit the TV cabinet until I get around to paying someone to reverse the side the door opens from

That looks like a fixed pin one. You could grind the bottom dome off it you really wanted it apart.

Very few hinges are loose pin.

Every door hinge in my house has loose pins.

Also when you re in the trade you never use them, cheap things.

OP s pic is Hickman door sets, to remove the door you take the centre screw out the left hand white plastic square piece on the door edge, take the square plastic piece out and door slides out, you don t remove the jamb side of the hinge like traditional butt hinges.

No the centre pin does not come out of them.

That s a poor set up anyway, chrome plated hinge on the jamb side and plastic part on the door edge, usually it s one or the other not both at once. Chrome for oak faced or top end doors.

Yeah loose pin are awful things, no washers so only for very lightweight doors, It must be 20 years since I used any. And yes those Hickman type are common on new builds where they use doors sets, they wouldn't be typically used on refurbs, I think they are a bit ugly.

Ugly, cheap and quick hence why like you say house builders use them but Bellway and David Wilson’s were traditional last time we were on their sites however Wilson’s now are under Barratts so no idea if they still use 3 and 4 inch butts.
