Review: This is a nice design, potentially better than the original. - This is a nice design, potentially better than the original. Seems stronger as well. Time will tell. IT was purchased from desertcart.com LLC, not a random reseller. Our original roller SHEERED off from the pressure of the spring. I can only assume a factory defect since mere stress caused it to break. It's been on my to-do list for 6 months and I finally got together with my body shop guy to get it installed over the weekend. We anticipated 20 minutes but it took an hour and a half. Part of that was due to tool problems. - NOTE: I had a misconception about this item. I THOUGHT that it was a Hinge pin, but it IS NOT. When you replace THIS "roller" pin, both hinge pins remain in place and you DO NOT need an additional person to hold the door. This was indeed the part that I needed, but it does not seem to support the weight of the door at all. THIS pin is solely for the purpose of holding the door in its detent locking positions, EXCEPT, it also appears to affect the door lock engaging correctly. We were having a problem with the door wanting to come open while driving which seems to have been resolved with the replacement of this roller pin. - The actual installation....STEP 1...My mechanic decided to make 2 CUTs in the old pin with a sawzall (tight fit). First he cut the middle of the pin, then he cut the top mushroom part. The pieces, unfortunately fell right into the fender (rattle,rattle,rattle). He took a couple of bolts out, one bolt inside the hinge area and another below, and the pieces fell right out. Trying to fish it with a magnet was useless. This is also a good time to clean out your drain area of pine needles and debris. - Step 2... The top post fit easily into the hinge. We had little success trying to hammer the replacement back in. So, he got his grinder out and shaved a bit of the edge off of the ridges on the bottom section of the Pin. He just kind of grazed the teeth a bit, a very light touch. Viola! The pin started and required just enough hammering with a 1/4" extension to lock it up into place. That was a key to success. Then, he installed the C-clip and we tried it out. It was perfect. He re-assembled the fender bolts and I was good to go! The door now shuts and locks properly and the lock no longer seems to get caught on the stud. The door now stays in its alternate opening angles. Apparently there was no problem with my actual hinge pins at all. - In conclusion: Nice Product, Nice price. - I do sense a bit of stress on the pin when first opening the door, so I intend to grease it up. Review: Good product at a good price. - Bought this to replace the OEM one on my '95 Chev Suburban. It is ever so much larger than the OEM one and would have probably fit if I had removed the door and pressed it into place. I did not have a press and did not want to remove the door. I ground down the top and knurled part above the roller until it fit. Removing the remains of the OEM pin required cutting the peened end off and driving the pin out. It's a 'fun' project to maneuver the new pin into place and get the spring and indented part into place. If you loose the e-clip, it takes a 3/8 clip (ask me how I know). It works well holding the door open and seems to be built well. I don't want to replace it, but if it lasts 20+ years like the OEM one I can't complain. ## Features - Direct replacement - this door hinge pin matches the fit and function of the factory part on specified years, makes and models - Ideal solution - this pin is a reliable replacement for an original part that is missing or has failed due to fatigue - Durable construction - this part is made from quality materials to ensure reliable performance and long service life - Trustworthy quality - backed by team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience - Ensure fit - to make sure this part fits your exact vehicle, input your make, model and trim level into the garage tool ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Dorman | | Finish Type | Unfinished | | Hole Count | 1 | | Material | Metal | | Mounting Type | Door Mount | | Product Dimensions | 8.3"L x 1.7"W | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dorman - **Color:** Silver/Black - **Finish Type:** Unfinished - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00037495384339 - **Hole Count:** 1 - **Manufacturer:** Dorman Products - **Material:** Metal - **Mounting Type:** Door Mount - **Product Dimensions:** 8.3"L x 1.7"W - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![- Dorman 38433 Front Upper Door Hinge Roller Pin Compatible with Select Cadillac / Chevrolet / GMC Models - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bwR3oNn1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit on my 1994 Chevy k1500** A: Yes **Q: do i need 4 pins or 6 pins and how many with rollers 2 0r 4?** A: 2 pins 1 roller per door...dont forget 1 spring and 4 bushings per door as well **Q: will this fit 200 gmc jimmy?** A: No. I not sure if your Jimmy has roller pin, or just the door pins and the spring?

The plastic bushing for the roller was damaged on the second one I installed but did still work, but I'm sure it won't last. --- ## 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.at/products/14797324-dorman-38433-front-upper-door-hinge-roller-pin-compatible-select](https://www.desertcart.at/products/14797324-dorman-38433-front-upper-door-hinge-roller-pin-compatible-select) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
