Orca Hardware AH Series Sliding Door Square Bar and Recessed Pull Combo

The AH Series combo pull is built for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers both the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial slab and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior door common on older openings. The recessed flush pull is mortised into the door edge or face, so that thickness range is what determines whether the pocket depth works on your slab.

No handing to specify. The AH-COMBOSQ is non-handed, so the same part works whether the door slides left or right. That matters on a barn door job where the pull side gets decided at install, and on a multi-door run where you want one part number for every opening.

You get both pulls in one part. The AH-COMBOSQ pairs a 12 inch square bar pull with a rectangular flush pull, which is the normal setup on a sliding or barn door: the bar goes on the face you push from, and the recessed flush pull goes where the door passes the jamb or wall so nothing protrudes. One order covers the opening, no second pull to add.

Depends on the room. The Orca AH combo is a pull only, no latching or locking function, so it suits a pantry, closet, or pass-through barn door where you just need to move the slab. For a bath or bedroom pocket door that has to lock, go to a privacy pull instead: the Ives 991A aluminum sliding door pull and the Schlage SC991 solid brass pull are both privacy/bed/bath function.

The Orca Hardware AH-COMBOSQ combo is a pull only - a 12 inch square bar pull paired with a rectangular flush pull, in steel, non-handed, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. It gives you something to grab from both faces but nothing to lock. For a bed or bath opening where the door has to secure, the Ives 991A aluminum sliding door pull and the Schlage Residential SC991 solid brass sliding door pull are both privacy/bed/bath function pulls. Ives 991A is aluminum and SC991 is solid brass, both with decorative coined edges. On a closet, pantry, or barn door slab where privacy is not required, the AH-COMBOSQ is the straightforward pick.

The Orca Hardware AH-COMBOSQ ships the flush pull together with a 12 inch square bar pull, so you are buying both halves of the set. If the opening only needs the recessed cup - a pocket door face, or the trailing edge of a bypass - the Trimco 7059 Series fOCAL flush cup pull is a cup pull on its own, and the Trimco 7061 Series is the small version at 2-3/4 by 2-1/16 inches for tighter stile widths. Those are cup pulls only; neither includes a bar pull, so if you also want an exterior grip you are back to the AH-COMBOSQ or a separately ordered bar.

Two: black and satin stainless. Black matches the matte black barn door track and strap hardware most residential jobs are specifying now, and satin stainless reads closer to the brushed lever and pull hardware on a commercial corridor. Both pulls in the combo ship in the finish you pick, so the bar and the flush pull match.

Steel. That is a heavier substrate than the cast aluminum used on pulls like the Ives 991A, and it is the reason this one is carried for commercial use rather than residential-only duty. For a property manager standardizing pulls across apartment closets or a hotel back-of-house run, a steel bar takes repeated pulling better than a thin decorative pull.

Skip the combo and buy a flush pull on its own. The Trimco 7059 Series fOCAL flush cup pulls are the straight option, and the Trimco 7061 Series is the small version at 2-3/4 by 2-1/16 inches for tight stiles or a cabinet-scale door. The Orca AH-COMBOSQ only makes sense when you want the 12 inch square bar on the face as well.

The bar is a surface-mounted pull, so it stands proud of the door face and needs clearance on the side it is mounted. On a barn door running outside the wall that is not an issue. On a pocket door it is, which is why the AH-COMBOSQ pairs the bar with a recessed flush pull, mount the flush pull on the face that enters the pocket and the bar on the face that stays exposed.

Not a drop-in. The Trimco 7061 Series fOCAL small flush cup pull is a 2-3/4 by 2-1/16 inch cup, and the Orca Hardware AH-COMBOSQ carries a rectangular flush pull sized to that set, so the mortise cutouts are not interchangeable - swapping one into an existing prep means a new pocket. The 7061 is the right call when the stile is too narrow for a full-size cup or when you are prepping fresh; the larger Trimco 7059 Series fOCAL flush cup pull covers standard-width stiles. Confirm your cutout against the pull you are actually ordering before you rout.

The Orca Hardware AH-COMBOSQ is steel and comes in Black and Satin Stainless, which keeps one part number covering both a dark and a brushed-metal look across a portfolio. Among the alternates, the Ives 991A sliding door pull is aluminum and the Schlage Residential SC991 is solid brass - both privacy/bed/bath function, so they serve a different opening than a straight pull. If your standard is one grip style on closets and utility slabs with no latching, the AH-COMBOSQ in two finishes handles the fleet; where a unit needs a bath or bedroom slider to secure, the 991A or SC991 fills that opening instead.
