This seems to match what I am looking for but I wanted to know if the pin pushes down below the plastic casing (open on the bottom) or if it stops at the plastic bottom of the casing (closed bottom).

Still waiting on feedback on this:

Thank you for your post and your continued patience with us. When the 23-118 is depressed the metal pivot protrudes beyond the bottom of the plastic casing. In order to use this pin, you will need a hole which goes deeper into the door than the plastic casing does.

Thanks for the information! Do you have any alternative where it does not protrudes beyond the bottom of the plastic casing?

We carry the 23-112 spring loaded pin, but it is a little different in size and it does not have the same pin at the top. Also, if you need to use the 23-118 pin, see if you could drill the hole a little deeper into the top of the door. Just make sure you don't damage the door.
