Featuring a finely tapered forked end and a solid push pin, it applies equal pressure on both sides of the pin for smooth extraction. Durable and built to last, this tool is ideal for professionals and homeowners who demand efficiency and care in door maintenance. ## Description Both tools have a solid steel push pin mounted on one end for pushing out the door pin. The opposite forked end fits snugly under the head of the door pin, applying equal pressure on both sides as the pin is lifted out. The forked end is finely tapered for easy insertion. Review: It does one thing, one thing only, but does it well - I generally hate clever little tools that specialize in one task. They are usually more trouble than they are worth, and they end up at the bottom of a tool bin somewhere. This was an exception! === The Good Stuff === * If you have worked on newer doors/hinges, you noticed that the pin is not as easy to get to as it once was. They are generally thinner in diameter, and do not go all the way to the bottom of the hinge. As a result, they are a bit of a challenge to get out of the hinges. This tool is an excellent solution. * Of course you can go after the pin with any number of objects. I used to use an old screw driver, with the head cut off. The shaft would fit into the hinge and let you bang it out. The problem is that it is very easy to damage the door or trim with even a slightly errant hammer stoke. The shape of this tool lets you make contact with the pin, but do your hammering 4 inches from the door/trim. Even one less repair job makes this tool worth its cost. * The top end of the tool has a nice little fork that worked great at getting under the head of the pin once it was knocked out of a hinge a bit. * The tool seems pretty well made, and should last quite a long time. It is sturdy enough to survive in even the worst of toolboxes. === The Not-So-Good Stuff === * It is an expensive tool that really only does one thing. However, if you need to do that thing, and want to do it easy and without any damage, it works great. === Summary === If you have to take off doors on any sort of regular basis, this is a fantastic tool. I am using it just to remove the doors in my house for painting, and I think it was worth the investment. Review: Simple tool, well made, got the job done - I needed to pull the pins on a door that was squeaking. The hinges had been lubed at the factory six years ago and black, tarry lubricant was leaking out, creating a mess and causing the squeaking. The pins wouldn't budge using the old hammer & nail trick. This Crain tool--and a good bit of hammering--finally got them out. They were really stuck; the old lubricant was more like an adhesive. It's a simple tool, but well made and should last forever. You have to be a bit careful using it. The hammer needs to strike near the pin to transfer the most force, but an errant hammer blow will damage the door trim. The other end has a notch that's useful for prying up the pin once you've loosened it. Crain makes a #363 tool that has a little clip to hold the pin so you won't accidentally drop it, but if you're careful this tool works fine. Recommended. ## Features - Solid steel push pin - Finely tapered forked end - Applies equal pressure on both sides as pin is lifted ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D4WM17G | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #419,832 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #261 in Pin Punches | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (202) | | Date First Available | March 29, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Item model number | 362 | | Manufacturer | Crain | | Material | steel | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 362 | | Product Dimensions | 9.75 x 4 x 0.75 inches | ## Images ![Crain 362 Door Pin Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/319oT6M1FkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It does one thing, one thing only, but does it well *by A***N on September 10, 2019* I generally hate clever little tools that specialize in one task.

Two good taps and the pins were out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/29687510-crain-362-door-pin-tool](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/29687510-crain-362-door-pin-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
