Orca Hardware AH-RECPULL-BL-6.5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Orca AH rectangular pull a locking or privacy pull for a bathroom sliding door?
No. The AH rectangular pull is a plain pull with no privacy or latching function, so it won't secure a bath or bedroom slider. For that, Ives makes the 991A aluminum sliding door pull with a privacy function, and Schlage Residential offers the SC991 solid brass privacy sliding door pull. Both are built for the bed/bath application.
2) What sliding door pull should I use if the door needs a privacy lock instead of just a grip?
The Orca Hardware AH Series Rectangular Pull is a pull only, offered in Black and Satin Stainless in 6.5 and 8 sizes, with no locking function. For a bed or bath pocket door that has to latch, the Ives 991A aluminum sliding door pull is built with a Privacy/Bed/Bath function, and the Schlage Residential SC991 solid brass sliding door pull carries the same Privacy/Bed/Bath function in brass. Choose the AH Rectangular Pull where the opening is a closet, pantry, or barn door that only needs a handhold.
3) Is there a smaller recessed pull than the Orca AH rectangular pull for a narrow stile?
Yes. The Trimco 7061 Series fOCAL small flush cup pull measures 2-3/4 inches by 2-1/16 inches, which is the option when the stile will not take the Orca Hardware AH Series Rectangular Pull in its 6.5 or 8 size. The Trimco 7059 Series fOCAL flush cup pull sits between them as the standard-size cup.
4) Is there a cutout template for mortising in the Orca AH rectangular pull?
Yes. Orca publishes a spec sheet and template for the AH-RECPULL that you can download from the product information, so your installer can lay out the mortise before routing the door. Pull the template for the size you ordered, 6.5 or 8, before cutting anything.
5) Should I use a rectangular pull or a round cup pull on a sliding door?
A rectangular pull like the Orca AH gives you a longer vertical grip surface, which suits barn doors and full-height closet sliders where hands land at different heights. A small round or oval flush cup is a tidier cut for cabinet-scale and pocket door openings. If you want the cup style instead, Trimco's fOCAL line covers it: the 7059 Series flush cup pulls, and the 7061 Series small flush cup at 2-3/4 by 2-1/16 inches.
6) Do I need one pull or two per sliding door?
Order by the number of grab points, not by the door. A bypass closet slider usually takes one pull per door leaf on the face you reach from. A barn or pocket door that has to be pulled from both sides needs two of the AH rectangular pulls, one mortised into each face, with the cutouts aligned so they don't collide inside the door. Keep the size, 6.5 or 8, the same on both faces.
7) I need a brass sliding door pull - does the Orca AH rectangular pull come in brass?
The Orca Hardware AH Series Rectangular Pull is steel, supplied in Black and Satin Stainless. If the job calls for brass, the Schlage Residential SC991 is a solid brass sliding door pull with decorative coined edges, and it also carries a Privacy/Bed/Bath function. The Ives 991A is the aluminum equivalent of that same coined-edge style.
8) Trimco 7059 flush cup pull versus the Orca AH rectangular pull - what is the difference?
The Trimco 7059 Series fOCAL flush cup pull is a cup-style recess, a shallow round or oval pocket for fingertips. The Orca Hardware AH Series Rectangular Pull is a rectangular steel pull in Black or Satin Stainless, offered in 6.5 and 8 sizes, giving a longer opening for a full hand. Cup pulls suit light closet doors; the longer rectangular opening suits heavier barn and sliding doors that take more force to start moving.
9) Can I use this pull on a commercial job or is it residential only?
The AH Series rectangular pull is classified commercial in the spec data, while the product description lists the application as residential. Practically, it's a steel flush-style sliding door pull that gets specified on both apartment and light commercial closet and barn door openings.
