Don-Jo 21-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hole spacing do I need to drill for the Don-Jo 21 door pull?
The Don-Jo 21 mounts on 12 inch center-to-center holes, so your prep needs two fastener points spaced exactly 12 inches apart. The pull itself runs 13 inches overall, which leaves about half an inch of bar past each mounting point. If the door already has a 12 inch CTC pull prep, the 21 drops onto it without redrilling.
2) Is the Don-Jo 21 pull big enough for a gloved hand?
Grip clearance is 2 inches between the bar and the door face, with a 3 inch total projection and a 1 inch diameter bar. That 2 inches is what decides glove fit, and it is more open than the 1-1/2 inch clearance on the Ives 8102HD straight pull. For warehouse or exterior doors where crews are wearing winter gloves, the extra half inch is the difference.
3) Does the Don-Jo 21 meet ANSI J401 for a commercial spec?
J401 is the ANSI/BHMA designation the Don-Jo 21 carries, which is the pull classification architects write into a commercial door hardware schedule. If your spec section calls for a J401 pull, the 21 answers it directly. It is a commercial-rated pull, not a residential decorative one.
4) I need to replace a 1 inch diameter commercial door pull, what matches?
Bar diameter on the Don-Jo 21 is 1 inch, which is the common heavy commercial size and matches the feel of what is likely already on the door. Same 1 inch bar on the ABH AB3300 straight flat end and the Ives 8103HD straight pull. If the existing pull is a slimmer 7/8 inch bar, the ABH AB7200 stainless is that size. What decides the swap is not the diameter though, it is the hole spacing, so measure center-to-center first and match that 12 inches.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Don-Jo 21 door pull if I need a 1-inch round grip on a commercial door?
The Don-Jo 21 is a cast pull with a 1" diameter grip, 12" center-to-center, 13" overall length, 3" projection and 2" clearance. Two peers carry the same 1" bar diameter: the ABH AB3300 straight flat end pull, which is a straight pull like the 21, and the Ives 8103HD heavy duty straight door pull, which is a 1" round bar mounted through-bolt. If the door has to keep the same hand feel and the same straight profile, those are the two to look at first. The ABH AB7200 is close in appearance but uses a 7/8" diameter bar, so the grip is slightly slimmer than the 21.
6) I need an offset pull instead of a straight one - what should I order in place of the Don-Jo 21?
The Don-Jo 21 is a straight cast pull with 3" projection and 2" clearance, so the grip runs parallel to the door face. When the opening needs the grip angled or stepped away from the face - typically to clear a frame, a mullion, or an adjacent push bar - the offset peers are the substitutes: the ABH AB3310 offset flat end pull, the ABH AB3330 offset round end pull, the Ives 8145 45 degree offset pull, and the Ives 8169 C style offset solid pull, which also uses a 1" diameter bar like the 21. Confirm the offset geometry against the door before switching, since the mounting hole pattern will not match the 21's 12" center-to-center layout.
7) I need a pull and a matching grip on the inside of the door - does the Don-Jo 21 come as a back-to-back set?
The Don-Jo 21 is sold as a single pull with 12" center-to-center mounting. When the opening calls for a matched grip on both faces supplied as one assembly, the back-to-back peers cover it: the Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull comes as a back-to-back set for doors 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" thick, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 modern offset and SSPORBB24 round offset pulls are 24" back-to-back sets. The Deltana SSP1210 is the single-side option in that family at 12". Door thickness drives this choice, since a back-to-back set has to be sized to the leaf.
8) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 21 and the Ives 8102HD for a heavy-traffic commercial door?
Both are straight commercial pulls. The Don-Jo 21 uses a 1" diameter grip with 2" clearance and 12" center-to-center spacing, cast and built to ANSI J401. The Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4" round bar and 1-1/2" clearance. The 8102HD's thinner bar and tighter clearance give a smaller hand envelope; the 21's larger bar and 2" clearance leave more room behind the grip, which matters where gloved hands are in play. If you want the heavier Ives bar instead, the 8103HD is the 1" round version in that family.
9) I need a pull longer than 13 inches - what are my options besides the Don-Jo 21?
The Don-Jo 21 is fixed at 13" overall with 12" center-to-center. For longer grips, the Deltana SSPOBB24 modern offset and SSPORBB24 round offset pulls are both 24" back-to-back sets, roughly double the length. The ABH AB3330 series offset round end pull is offered with custom length options, which is the route when the opening needs a length that no standard catalog number hits - a glass entry or a tall storefront leaf, for example. Note that both alternatives are offset rather than straight, so the profile changes along with the length.
10) If my spec requires stainless steel construction, does the Don-Jo 21 work or do I need a different pull?
The Don-Jo 21 is a cast pull available in a 630 satin stainless steel finish, so it will meet an appearance-based stainless requirement. Where the specification calls for the body itself to be solid stainless, the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull with through-bolt mounting, though its bar is 7/8" diameter rather than the 21's 1". The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is also stainless steel construction, but it is a night latch cylinder pull and not a full-length grip.
11) Which alternative to the Don-Jo 21 is called out as ADA compliant?
The Ives 8145 45 degree offset door pull is the peer identified as ADA compliant, supplied with heavy duty mounting hardware in the EZ series. The Don-Jo 21 is a commercial pull built to ANSI J401 with 2" clearance and a 1" diameter grip. On an accessible opening where the reviewing authority wants the ADA callout on the submittal, the 8145 carries it explicitly; its 45 degree offset also changes the grip angle relative to the 21's straight bar.
12) What finishes does the Don-Jo 21 cast pull come in?
Four orderable finishes on the 21: 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 satin aluminum, and 630 satin stainless steel. For matching a building already standardized on aluminum storefront or stainless lever trim, 628 and 630 are the two that line up with the rest of that hardware.
13) Should I use a straight pull like the Don-Jo 21 or an offset pull?
The 21 is a straight bar pull, 12 inch CTC with the grip parallel to the door. Straight is the standard choice for a full-height entry door where the hand comes in square. An offset pull, where the grip steps out from one mounting foot, suits doors with a narrow stile or where the pull sits close to glass or a frame edge. Offset options include the ABH AB3310 flat end and the Ives 8169 C-style offset, also a 1 inch diameter bar. For an angled grab, the Ives 8145EZ is a 45 degree offset.
14) Can I put a Don-Jo 21 pull on one side and a push plate on the other?
That is the standard pull/push pairing on a single-acting commercial door, and the 21 is the pull half of it. Trimco push plates that pair with it include the 1001-1 heavy duty at 3 x 12 inches and the 1041 half-round at 8 x 16 inches. Note the 21 is sold as a single pull, so a back-to-back pull/pull opening needs two. Back-to-back sets are sold as such, like the Deltana SSPOBB24.
15) Will a 13 inch pull fit on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
The 21 needs 13 inches of vertical run and 12 inches between fastener centers, so it fits a narrow stile door vertically without trouble. The constraint on a storefront is horizontal: the 1 inch bar plus mounting feet has to land within the stile face without crowding the glass stop. Measure your stile face width before committing. On tight stiles an offset pull that keeps the grip clear of the glazing, like the ABH AB3330 offset round end, is the safer geometry.
16) How much does a Don-Jo 21 pull stick out into the doorway?
Three inches of total projection off the door face. That matters on a door that swings into a corridor or against a wall return, and on paired doors where an astragal or an adjacent leaf is close. If you are working an exit route where projection into the clear width is being counted, 3 inches is the number to take to the drawing.
17) Is the Don-Jo 21 the right pull for a restroom or a night latch application?
No. The 21 is a general purpose straight commercial pull with no special function built in. For a restroom door where users want to pull with a forearm or a towel, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is the purpose-built option. For an exterior door where the pull mounts over a rim cylinder, you want a night latch cylinder pull such as the Cal-Royal PUL-175, 3-1/2 inch height in stainless steel.
18) Which door pull should I use if the opening needs a push plate on the other side rather than a second pull?
The Don-Jo 21 is a pull only - a 13" cast grip with 12" center-to-center mounting. For the push side of the same opening, the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate measures 3" x 12", and the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate measures 8" x 16". If you would rather buy the pair as one item, the Trimco 1070 series classic push/pull plates come as 3-1/2" x 15" plates. The 1070 plate mounts the grip on a backing plate rather than directly to the door, which changes the prep from the 21's two through-holes to a plate footprint.
19) Is the Cal-Royal PUL-175 an alternative to the Don-Jo 21?
No - they answer different needs. The Don-Jo 21 is a 13" cast pull with 12" center-to-center mounting and a 1" grip, sized for a full-hand pull on a commercial door. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2" in height, stainless steel, designed to sit around a rim cylinder so the door can be pulled shut at the cylinder. If the opening has a night latch and you need the small pull that goes with it, the PUL-175 is the part; if you need the main door grip, the 21 is.
20) Which pull should I specify for a restroom door instead of the Don-Jo 21?
The Don-Jo 21 is a general-purpose commercial pull with a 1" grip and 3" projection, and it works on a restroom door. Where the specification calls for a pull made specifically for restroom service, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is the heavy duty peer built for that use. On a restroom exit door where the user pulls with a forearm or elbow, the dedicated restroom pull is the more common specification; where the door is one of a run of matched commercial openings, keeping the 21 keeps the hardware consistent across the set.
21) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 21 and the Deltana SSP1210 for a 12-inch pull?
Both land at the same nominal size. The Don-Jo 21 is a 13" overall cast pull with 12" center-to-center spacing, a 1" grip, 3" projection and 2" clearance, built to ANSI J401 for commercial service. The Deltana SSP1210 is a 12" contemporary pull supplied single side. The 21 is specified by its dimensional and standards data for commercial openings; the SSP1210 sits in a contemporary styling family. Where the two doors need to look alike across a building, pick one family and hold it, since the grip profiles differ.
