Deltana FPV7178 Flush Pull, Victorian, Heavy-Duty, 7" x 2-1/4" x 5/8", Solid Brass

Pocket doors are one of its intended uses, along with sliding doors and cabinet doors. Any opening where the hardware has to sit flush with the door face so the leaf can pass into a pocket or track works. The 5/8 inch depth is what you plan the mortise around.

It is sold each, so a pocket door that is pulled from both sides takes two of them, and a door that only gets grabbed from one side takes one. Price a job by counting faces, not doors. Mortising both sides of the same leaf means two 5/8 inch pockets back to back, so check your door thickness leaves material between them.

A flush pull moves the door, it does not hold it. The FPV7178 is a pull only, with no latch, no lock and no privacy function. If the opening needs to lock or hold shut, order a separate pocket door lock or privacy set to go with it, and confirm the two mortises do not collide in the same stile.

The FPV7178 is a decorative Victorian solid brass pull with no anti-ligature design. For a room where ligature resistance governs, the ABH 1911 Series flush door pull is designed as a ligature-resistant flush pull. Facilities standardizing on anti-ligature hardware specify the 1911 Series in those openings and reserve decorative brass pulls like the FPV7178 for administrative and residential-style doors.

The Deltana FPV7178 is a Victorian-pattern flush pull measuring 7 inches by 2-1/4 inches by 5/8 inches in solid brass, offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel and Antique Brass. The closest peer in the same decorative territory is the Baldwin Estate 8601 pocket door pull, which is built for passage and dummy pocket door applications. Both are rectangular decorative pulls intended to sit flush in the door face; the Deltana is specified by its 7 inch overall length, while the Baldwin 8601 is described by its passage and dummy function rather than a decorative pattern name.

Solid brass, both material and substrate. That matters on a pull that gets a fingertip load thousands of times a year: a solid brass body will not flex or crack at the recess edge the way a plated pot metal pull can, and it can be refinished rather than replaced when the plating on a cheaper part wears through.

Commercial, and it is built to a heavy-duty spec. For a property manager standardizing pocket door pulls across a hotel, clinic or multi-family building, that plus the solid brass body is the difference between a pull that survives the traffic and one you are back replacing in a year.

Four: oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, and antique brass. All four are the same 7 inch Victorian pull, so if you are matching pocket door pulls to existing lever trim or cabinet hardware in a building, pick on the finish and the cutout stays identical across every door.

Shape decides how you grip it. The FPV7178 is a 7 inch long rectangular Victorian recess, so you get a full-hand pull and enough leverage to move a heavy sliding or pocket leaf. A round pull like the Orca Hardware 2-1/8 inch diameter flush pull is a fingertip grip in a single bored hole, which is faster to install and fine on light cabinet doors or a leaf that slides easily. Heavy door, go rectangular; light door and a hole saw, the round one is less work.

For a period or residential-looking opening, the Baldwin Estate 8601 pocket door pull is the closest in character and comes in passage and dummy versions if the door also needs to latch. On the institutional side, Trimco makes flush cup pulls in several patterns, including the 1059 drive-in and the 1060/1061 and 1111 series, and the 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring pulls add a ring you can hook a finger under to start a stiff door moving. The FPV7178 sits between them: solid brass and Victorian in styling, but specified commercial and heavy-duty.

The Deltana FPV7178 is a 7 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 5/8 inch solid brass flush pull with a Victorian face pattern. The Trimco 1060/1061 and the Trimco 1111 Series large flush cup pulls are cup pulls, a recessed cup the fingers enter rather than a decorative plate, and the 1111 is the large-format version of that cup design. They serve the same face-flush purpose on a sliding or pocket door, but the Trimco cups are a plain commercial cup profile while the FPV7178 carries a decorative pattern and a stated 5/8 inch depth.

The FPV7178 is a 7 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 5/8 inch pull, so the door face has to be routed to accept that rectangular body. The Trimco 1059 is a drive-in flush cup pull, which seats into a bored hole rather than a routed rectangular mortise. On a retrofit where a router template is impractical, the drive-in 1059 is the alternative approach to the same face-flush result.

Not interchangeably. The FPV7178 is a fixed flush pull sized 7 inches by 2-1/4 inches by 5/8 inches, with the grip formed by the recess itself. The Trimco 1066/1067/1068 are drop-ring flush pulls, where a ring lies flat in the recess and is lifted out to pull the door. The drop ring gives a positive grip for a heavy door, but it is a moving part sitting in the face, so it is a different profile and a different prep from the fixed Deltana recess.
