In that case, you can use a small screwdriver to remove the pin. Some people use a sharp flat object (on the pin’s head) and a hammer to remove this pin. You can also apply this method to tap off the pin. Just place the flat object below the head of the pin and tap it upwards.  

Third Step

Fifth Step

Next, install the hinge pin back into the hinge. Use a hammer to push it through the holes. You can also use a screw driver to install the pin. So, now, you have your hinge pin door stop – installed on the hinge.
