buffalo ny: or possibly substitute with a doorknob wall bumper.
to catch my small dog indoors from his stairwell doggy door area i use
a door screw hook high on the door with a long wastebasket rubberband
as a slow doorcloser.
maybe get other hardware ideas at:

Found out today the door hinges (about 20 doors) had "upgraded
hinges". It was a mistake from the door shop. The were not supposed
to be "high quality" hinges. The builder ate the price difference.

If, I get the right size hinge pin in the right bronze finish they
should work. I tried and regular hinge pin and it was not thick enough
and was to long. However, the tapped threads in the hinge plates did
not interfere with a "normal" pin.

The pins are not knurled.

I'm waiting until Monday; as I now know, the local door shop that
built the doors. Thanks.
