Ives AP101-695 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Ives AP101 arm pull replace the existing door pull, or does it mount in addition to it?
The AP101 is an add-on. It mounts alongside the pull already on the door so the opening can be operated with a forearm, elbow, or wrist instead of a hand. You keep the existing pull in place, which is why it works as a low-cost conversion on openings you do not want to re-prep from scratch.
2) Will the Ives AP101 hands-free pull work on a hollow metal door, or only wood?
Both. The AP101 is specified for wood and metal doors in commercial applications, and it surface mounts with holes drilled to the manufacturer template alongside the existing pull.
3) Should I use a hands-free arm pull or just a standard door pull on a restroom door?
Depends on whether you need to eliminate hand contact. A conventional grip pull like the ABH AB3300 straight flat end pull or the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is what you use when a normal hand pull is acceptable. The Ives AP101 arm loop is for openings where the goal is to open the door with a forearm or elbow, and it is designed to go on in addition to one of those pulls rather than instead of it.
4) If I want a conventional grab pull instead of the Ives AP101 forearm pull, what should I order?
For a standard hand-operated commercial pull, the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull handle with 1.00 inch diameter grip, and the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle with 7/8 inch diameter and through-bolt mounting. The Ives AP101 is not a hand grip at all - it is a forearm arm pull in 1/8 inch stainless steel meant to be added next to the pull already on the door, so it does not replace a primary pull.
5) For a push-side door where the Ives AP101 will not work, what hardware should I use?
The AP101 is a pull-side device - the forearm hooks into it to pull the door open. On the push side, use a push plate such as the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 inches by 12 inches, or the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate at 8 inches by 16 inches. Those give an elbow or forearm a contact surface to push against without gripping.
6) Is the Ives AP101 arm pull ADA compliant?
Yes, the AP101 is stated as ADA compliant and is intended for commercial openings that need accessible, touch-free operation. It is a commercial-duty item, not a residential accessory.
7) What is the Ives AP101 made of, and will it hold up in a hospital or school corridor?
Stainless steel, 1/8 inch thick. That gauge and material is what keeps it rust free and serviceable in high-traffic public buildings, which is where these get spec'd: healthcare, schools, government buildings, restrooms and food service, and multi-tenant residential.
8) What finishes does the Ives AP101 come in for matching other hardware in the building?
Three: 630 satin stainless steel, 631 matte black, and 695 dark bronze. 630 is the usual match for commercial stainless push/pull and exit hardware; 695 and 631 are there for dark-finish door packages.
9) Is the AP101 handed? The photos look like left and right versions.
Order it by finish. The AP101 is offered in 630 satin stainless, 631 matte black, and 695 dark bronze with no separate handed part numbers, so the choice at order time is finish and quantity only. Position it on the door for comfortable forearm reach when you set the template.
10) What else would I order with the Ives AP101 to finish a hands-free opening?
If the door does not already have a pull, add one, since the AP101 is meant to work with existing pull hardware rather than replace it. Common pairings from the same catalog are a Trimco 1001 heavy duty push plate at 3 x 12 inches for the push side, or a Trimco 1070 Series push/pull plate at 3-1/2 x 15 inches. Mounting holes for the AP101 are drilled per the Ives template.
11) Is the Cal-Royal PUL-175 night latch pull an alternative to the Ives AP101?
No, they serve different purposes. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull with a 3-1/2 inch height in stainless steel, used at a rim cylinder on an exit door. The Ives AP101 is a forearm arm pull for hands-free opening, mounted alongside an existing pull on commercial wood or metal doors. If the requirement is a cylinder pull at a night latch, the AP101 does not fill that role.
12) What offset pull should I look at if the door leaf is too narrow for the Ives AP101 projection?
The AP101 projects 3-7/8 inches off the door face, which needs clearance for a forearm. Where that projection is a problem, offset hand pulls sit closer to the leaf: the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end surface mount pull, the ABH AB3330 offers offset round end pulls with custom length options, and the Deltana OHP620 is an offset handle pull supplied as a back-to-back set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch thick.
13) Can I standardize the AP101 across every door in my facility?
It is a commercial-grade item in one size, 4 by 5-1/8 by 3-7/8 inches, with three finishes, so a fleet standard is straightforward: pick one finish and repeat it. The limit is physical, not catalog. Any opening where 3-7/8 inches of projection would crowd a corridor, a wall return, or a pair of doors that nest close together needs to be checked individually before you roll it out building-wide.
14) Which pull gives a better grip surface than the Ives AP101 for wet or gloved hands?
The Sure-Loc PL-1KN is a knurled long door pull in a single-sided configuration and the PL-2KN is the same knurled pull double-sided, with the knurling providing a textured grip. The Sure-Loc PL-1RD is a round long single-sided pull available with concealed or thru-bolt mounting. The Ives AP101 is not a gripped pull - it is a 1/8 inch stainless steel arm pull operated with the forearm, elbow, or wrist so the hand never contacts the hardware.
