Deltana FP227 Flush Pull, Large, 3-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1/2"

Not by itself. The FP227 is the pull only, no latch, no lock, no strike. If the pocket door has to latch shut or lock, you need a pocket door lock set instead of, or in addition to, a flush pull. The Baldwin Estate 8601 pocket door pull is made in passage and dummy configurations, which is the way that family handles the latching-versus-non-latching decision. Where the FP227 fits is the door that just slides and stays put.

Size the cutout to the pull body: the FP227 measures 3-5/8 x 1-3/4 x 1/2 inches. The 1/2 inch figure is the depth of the cup, so the door has to be thick enough to take a half-inch recess plus enough material behind it to hold the fasteners. On a standard 1-3/4 inch door that is no issue; on a thin cabinet or bypass panel, check the panel thickness before you rout.

Two. The FP227 is sold each, one pull per package, and a pocket door needs a pull on each face so the door can be pulled closed from the room and pulled open from the pocket side. Same story on bypass sliders, where each panel usually takes one per accessible face.

No. The FP227 is a standard decorative brass cup pull with an open recess, which is not what you want in a psychiatric or correctional setting. Look at the ABH 1911 Series flush door pull, which is built with a ligature-resistant design for exactly that application.

The Deltana FP227 is a large rectangular flush pull measuring 3-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1/2" in solid brass. The nearest peer by size class is the Trimco 1111 Series, which is Trimco's large flush cup pull line. If you want a round profile instead of a rectangle, the Orca Hardware FPULL is a 2-1/8" diameter round flush pull. Both mortise into the door face the same way the FP227 does, so the decision is profile and finish rather than a different installation method.

Use the ABH 1911 Series flush door pull, which is built with a ligature-resistant design for those openings. The Deltana FP227 is a standard solid brass flush pull for sliding, cabinet and pocket doors and carries no ligature-resistant design, so on a patient room or holding cell door the 1911 Series is the correct specification.

Yes. The Trimco 1059 is a drive-in flush cup pull, which seats into a bored hole rather than a routed rectangular mortise. The Deltana FP227 is a 3-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1/2" flush pull that sits face flush in the door, so it needs a pocket cut to its footprint. For a retrofit into an existing slab where you would rather bore than rout, the drive-in 1059 is the alternative; the Trimco 1060/1061 flush cup pulls are the conventionally mortised version of the same cup shape.

Not for that. The Deltana FP227 is a fixed flush pull with no moving part, so there is nothing to catch a finger on once the door is inside the jamb. The Trimco 1066/1067/1068 are drop-ring flush pulls, where a ring lies flat in the cup and swings out to give you something to grip and draw the door back out. On pocket doors, that drop-ring style is what most people are actually after; the FP227 suits sliding, cabinet and pocket doors where a plain recessed grip is enough.

Solid brass, not a plated zinc or steel shell. Both the material and the substrate are brass, so the finish sits on brass underneath. That matters on a pocket door pull that gets fingers in it a dozen times a day: a plated pot-metal cup wears through at the lip, while a solid brass body wears into the metal itself.

Nine finishes: polished brass, PVD polished brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome, and paint black. If the pull lives somewhere humid or gets handled constantly, the PVD polished brass is the one to take, PVD being a deposited coating rather than a lacquer, so it holds its color where standard lacquered brass eventually dulls.

A cup pull like the FP227 gives you a recessed pocket to hook your fingers in and nothing that moves. A drop-ring type, such as the Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring flush pulls, adds a hinged ring that lies flat until you lift it, which gives you a real grip for pulling a heavy door out of a deep pocket. Take the cup when you want nothing protruding ever, including on a door that passes a wall in a tight opening; take the drop-ring when the door is heavy or seats deep and finger pressure alone is not enough.

For a round cutout, the Orca Hardware flush pull is a 2-1/8 inch diameter round, which drops into a single bored hole rather than a routed rectangle. That is the easier retrofit when the door already has a round cup in it, or when you are drilling rather than routing. The FP227 needs a rectangular mortise to suit its 3-5/8 x 1-3/4 body.

For a no-rout install, the Trimco 1059 is a drive-in flush cup pull, which seats into a bored hole and is driven home rather than mortised and screwed. The Deltana FP227 is the conventional route: a rectangular recess sized to its 3-5/8 x 1-3/4 body, half an inch deep. On new doors on a bench the mortise is quick work; on hung doors in an occupied building, the drive-in style saves the setup.

The Baldwin Estate 8601 is a pocket door pull configured for passage and dummy applications, so it is chosen as part of a pocket door trim set tied to the door's function. The Deltana FP227 is a plain solid brass flush pull, 3-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1/2", with no latching or function designation, and it also serves sliding and cabinet doors. If your pocket door needs a passage or dummy set, look at the Estate 8601; if you just need a recessed grip in the face of the door, the FP227 covers it.

Treat it as a new prep, not a drop-in. The Trimco 1111 Series is a large flush cup pull and the Deltana FP227 is a 3-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1/2" solid brass flush pull; the two are separate manufacturers' cutouts and neither is cut to the other's footprint. On a fleet where the openings are already routed for 1111 Series pulls, staying in that series keeps the existing prep. Where you are cutting fresh doors, the FP227 comes in nine finishes including polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze and brushed nickel, so you can match the rest of the trim.

The Orca Hardware FPULL is a 2-1/8" diameter round flush pull, which is the tightest footprint of the group and only needs a round bore. The Deltana FP227 is the large size at 3-5/8" x 1-3/4", so on a narrow stile or a small cabinet door it can crowd the rail. The FP227 is solid brass and suits cabinet doors where the stile has room for the full 3-5/8" length.

Deltana lists the FP227 as commercial. Combined with the solid brass body, that puts it in range for multifamily unit doors, hospitality closets, and office pocket doors rather than cabinetry only.

The FP227 is Deltana's large size at 3-5/8 x 1-3/4 x 1/2 inches. If you need more hand room than that, the Trimco 1111 Series is a large flush cup pull from another line, and the Trimco 1060/1061 covers the standard cup sizes. Worth deciding before you cut, since going up in size after the mortise is routed means patching the door.
