Don-Jo 31-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo 31 pull line up with existing 8 inch center-to-center mounting holes?
Yes. The Don-Jo 31 is drilled on 8 inch centers, so it drops onto an opening already prepped for an 8 inch CTC pull without re-drilling. Overall length is 8-3/8 inches, so the posts sit close to the ends of the bar and the footprint on the door stays tight to the existing holes.
2) Straight pull or offset pull for a commercial entry door?
The Don-Jo 31 is a straight cast pull on 8 inch centers with a 2 inch projection, which suits a push/pull pair, a restroom door, or the pull side of an entrance where a full-length grip isn't needed. Offset designs angle the grip away from the door and give a different hand position: the ABH AB3310 and AB3330 are offset pulls, and the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset. For a long vertical grip on a glass or storefront door, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull.
3) Is the Don-Jo 31 a back-to-back pull set, or just one pull for one side of the door?
The 31 is a single pull, ordered by finish. If you need a grip on both faces of the door, look at a back-to-back set instead: the Deltana OHP620 is a back-to-back offset set for 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch doors, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 and SSPORBB24 are 24 inch back-to-back offset pulls. On a push/pull opening, the 31 typically pairs with a push plate such as the Trimco 1001-1 at 3 x 12 inches.
4) What is a comparable 8 inch center-to-center door pull to the Don-Jo 31 if I want a heavier round bar?
The Don-Jo 31 uses a 3/8" x 1-1/4" cast bar with an 8" center-to-center spacing, a 2" projection and 1-5/8" clearance. If you want a thicker grip, the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4" round bar and 1-1/2" clearance, and the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 1" round bar mounted through-bolt. Those two give you a larger-diameter grip surface and a through-bolted straight body, where the Don-Jo 31 gives the smaller cast bar section with slightly more clearance at 1-5/8".
5) The Don-Jo 31 is a straight pull. What should I use if the opening needs an offset pull instead?
For an offset body rather than the straight 8" center-to-center Don-Jo 31, the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end surface mount pull and the ABH AB3330 is an offset round end pull offered with custom length options. The Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull at 1" diameter with heavy duty mounting, and the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset pull with heavy duty mounting hardware described as ADA compliant. Offset pulls move the grip away from the door face, which matters where a hand needs to clear a frame or an adjacent panel.
6) How much hand clearance does the Don-Jo 31 door pull give behind the grip?
1-5/8 inches of clearance between the bar and the door face, with a 2 inch total projection off the door. That leaves room for a gloved hand and keeps knuckles off the door on a heavy entry.
7) What does the ANSI J401 marking on the Don-Jo 31 pull mean for a spec job?
J401 is the ANSI/BHMA designation the 31 pull is built to, which is the reference an architect or facility spec writer will be looking for on a commercial door pull schedule. Don-Jo lists the 31 as a commercial product, not residential.
8) How thick is the bar on the Don-Jo 31 pull, and does it feel substantial enough for a high-traffic entrance?
The cast bar measures 3/8" x 1-1/4", so it is a flat-profile grip rather than a round rod. Don-Jo builds the 31 as a commercial-grade cast pull for high-traffic openings. If you want a round bar instead, the Ives 8103HD is a 1 inch round straight pull and the Ives 8102HD is a 3/4 inch round with 1-1/2 inch clearance.
9) Which finishes does the Don-Jo 31 cast pull come in, and which one matches my existing stainless hardware?
Four finishes: 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 satin aluminum, and 630 satin stainless steel. For a building already running stainless levers and push plates, 630 is the match. 628 satin aluminum is the usual pick alongside aluminum storefront framing.
10) Can I standardize on the Don-Jo 31 across offices, restrooms and corridor doors in one building?
That is what it is built for. The 31 is a commercial cast pull with fixed 8 inch centers and one bar profile, so every opening preps the same way and stock stays simple across offices, retail space, schools, healthcare, and multi-tenant residential. Pick one finish, 605, 613, 628 or 630, and run it building-wide.
11) Is the Don-Jo 31 handed? Do I have to specify left or right?
No handing. The 31 is a symmetrical straight bar on 8 inch centers, so the same part works on a left or right hand door and either face. Finish is the only thing you choose. By contrast, the Emtek Art Nouveau 8 inch pull does require you to select handing.
12) Is a push plate an acceptable substitute for the Don-Jo 31 door pull?
No, they do different jobs. The Don-Jo 31 is a grip pull with a 2" projection and 1-5/8" hand clearance, used on the pull side of the opening. The Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3" x 12" and the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate at 8" x 16" are flat plates for the push side and offer no grip. If you want both functions on one door, the Trimco 1070 series classic push/pull plates at 3-1/2" x 15" pair a plate with a pull.
13) Can the Don-Jo 31 be used as a cylinder pull over a rim cylinder on a night latch?
No. The Don-Jo 31 is a plain 8" center-to-center grip pull with no cylinder cutout. For a night latch application you want a cylinder pull such as the Cal-Royal PUL-175, a 3-1/2" height night latch cylinder pull in stainless steel construction, which is shaped to mount around the rim cylinder.
14) What flat end straight pull compares to the Don-Jo 31 in a stainless through-bolted version?
The ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle at 7/8" diameter with through-bolt mounting, and the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull at 1.00" diameter for commercial doors. Both are round-bar flat end designs, where the Don-Jo 31 is a cast pull with a 3/8" x 1-1/4" bar section, 8" center-to-center and 1-5/8" clearance, offered in 630 satin stainless among its finishes.
15) I need pulls on both sides of the door. Does the Don-Jo 31 come as a back-to-back set?
The Don-Jo 31 is sold as a single 8-3/8" cast pull on 8" centers. When you need matched grips on both faces, the Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull supplied as a back-to-back set for 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" thick doors, the Deltana SSPOBB24 and SSPORBB24 are 24" back-to-back sets, and the Sure-Loc PL-2KN is a knurled long pull in a double-sided configuration.
16) For a restroom door where I want the pull to also serve as a door opener, is the Don-Jo 31 the right choice?
The Don-Jo 31 is a general commercial grip pull at 8" center-to-center with 1-5/8" clearance and suits office, retail, institutional and healthcare openings. If the restroom is the specific concern, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is a heavy duty pull built for that application. Choose the 1035 where the restroom-specific design matters and the Don-Jo 31 where you are standardizing a single 8" CTC pull across the building.
17) Is there an alternative to the Don-Jo 31 with a textured grip for wet or gloved hands?
The Don-Jo 31 has a smooth cast bar measuring 3/8" x 1-1/4" with a 2" projection. For a textured grip surface instead, the Sure-Loc PL-1KN is a knurled long door pull in a single-sided thru-bolt configuration and the PL-2KN is the knurled long pull in double-sided form. Knurling gives a positive hold; the Don-Jo 31 gives the shorter 8" center-to-center commercial profile.
