Deltana FP223 Flush Pull, Oblong, 3-1/2" x 1-1/4" x 3/8"

Just a pull. There is no latch, no privacy function, and no lock in the FP223, it is a recessed cup for moving the door. If you need a pocket door that latches or locks, you need a pocket door lock or a privacy set instead, and the flush pull is what you add to the opposite face or the trailing edge of the same door.

3/8 inch is the pull's thickness, so that is the depth of the recess you rout, with a 3-1/2 by 1-1/4 inch opening for the face. On a nominal 1-3/8 inch interior door that leaves plenty of material behind the cup; on thin cabinet stock, check you have 3/8 inch to give before you cut.

No handing. The oblong FP223 is a symmetrical rectangular cup, so one pull fits either face and either direction of travel. On a pocket door you almost always want two, one per face, since the door has to be pulled closed as well as open. Same for a bypass pair, where each panel takes its own.

They mount differently. The Deltana FP223 is an oblong flush pull measuring 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches by 3/8 inches in solid brass, set into a routed mortise so the face sits flush with the door. The Trimco 1059 is a drive-in flush cup pull, a style driven into a bored hole rather than a routed rectangular pocket. If the door is already prepped with a rectangular mortise, the FP223 is the shape that fills it; a round bore points you to the drive-in style instead.

The FP223 is a solid brass oblong flush pull intended for face-flush installation on sliding, cabinet and pocket doors. For an opening that has to resist tie-off, the ABH 1911 series is a flush door pull with a ligature-resistant design, which is the specific requirement behavioral health facilities specify. A standard flush pull like the FP223 is not built to that design intent.

The Deltana FP223 is oblong, 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches by 3/8 inches, so it needs a rectangular mortise. For a round cutout, the Orca Hardware FPULL is a 2-1/8 inch diameter round flush pull that drops into a bored hole. Trimco's 1059 drive-in flush cup pull is the other round-prep option. Confirm the existing bore diameter before ordering either.

No. The Deltana FP223 is a flush pull only, with no latching mechanism, in a 3-1/2 inch by 1-1/4 inch by 3/8 inch oblong brass body. For a pocket door that needs passage or dummy function hardware, the Baldwin Estate 8601 is a pocket door pull built for passage and dummy applications. Use the FP223 where the door only needs a recessed grip to slide it.

Solid brass throughout, not a plated stamping. That matters on a pocket door pull that gets a fingernail in it several times a day: the edges will not deform and the finish is carried on brass rather than on a thin steel shell.

Ten finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. That covers the standard Deltana finish range, so the pull can be matched to hinges and levers already on the job. Two notes for a property manager standardizing a building: unlacquered brass is meant to patina and will darken over time, and PVD polished brass is the coating that holds its color rather than the lacquered version.

Deltana lists the FP223 as commercial, and it is solid brass rather than a plated pot-metal cup. For a heavy-traffic institutional corridor where the pull is being cut into a hollow metal or heavy wood door, the Trimco flush cup pulls are the other route we carry: the 1059 is a drive-in cup that installs without through-fastening, and the 1111 Series is the large cup for doors that need a bigger hand hold.

A plain cup like the FP223 gives you a recess for fingers, which works for sliding a door along its track but gives you little to grab when the door is nearly into the pocket. Where you need to pull a door closed from flush, a drop-ring pull is the type to look at, such as the Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring flush pulls, where a ring swings out of the cup. The Baldwin Estate 8601 pocket door pull is the other direction, a pocket-door-specific pull offered for passage and dummy applications.

The FP223 is a 3-1/2 inch oblong pull. When a bigger grip surface is wanted, the Trimco 1111 series is a large flush cup pull, and the Trimco 1060/1061 is a standard flush cup pull in the same family. Both are cup styles rather than the oblong brass profile of the FP223, so the door prep differs and the finish family will not match a Deltana opening.

The Deltana FP223 is a fixed oblong recess, 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches by 3/8 inches, that stays flush at all times. The Trimco 1066/1067/1068 are drop-ring flush pulls, where a ring pivots out of the recess to be gripped and drops back flush. Choose the drop ring where a stronger pull-out force is needed on a heavy slider, and the FP223 where nothing should protrude from the door face.

The Deltana FP223 is solid brass and comes in ten finishes including polished brass, PVD polished brass, unlacquered brass, antique brass, antique nickel, brushed nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome, oil rubbed bronze and paint black, which is what lets it be standardized alongside other brass trim on a fleet of doors. The Baldwin Estate 8601 pocket door pull is the comparable to look at when the opening also needs passage or dummy function rather than a plain recessed pull.
