It may have been an oversight, but I picked up my my new torque the other day and while loading all my things in it, my 13 year old girl said "hey do you think the pantry door might break this glass patio door" first of all she learned stuff like that tge hard way. Secondly I looked into putting a stop on the slider floor to prevent the tragedy but the pantry door is off the floor plate about 1-1/2 inches. Some fabrication will be needed. Has anyone else had an issue and fixed it. Any ideas are appreciated. Dear heartland if you see this post please look into this oversight.

Thank you, unfortunately the hinges don't have the removable pins..
How about something like this. There are other options for different types of hinges also.

This looks pretty simple. Try googling "cabinet hinge stop"
The picture above is a "Euro" - European" style cabinet hinge. Also known as "Blum" hinges (manufacturer).
Here is a source. http://www.rockler.com/hinges/
These hinges may work for you especially if your cabinet already this "pocket hinge" They are available in a variety of opening angles from less then 90 to greater the 180 degrees.
But, if you don't already have the "pocket", special tools and some skill is needed.
Short cable stops would be my first choice.
I'm surprised with the hundreds of door and cabinet lid stops that cable stops are not readily found.

Cable stops could easily be made from some wire and electrical "eye" connectors crimped on the ends. Or, if your are near a West Marine, you could get fancy and use some stainless wire, ferrules and stuff.
