Rockwood 131 Cast Door Pull, 2" Base

The 131 cast pull projects 2-1/4 inches from the door face with 1-1/2 inches of clearance between the grip and the door. That 1-1/2 inch gap is what your hand actually occupies, so a gloved hand fits but it is a standard commercial clearance, not an oversized one. If you need the same clearance in a straight bar pull, the Ives 8102HD carries a 1-1/2 inch clearance as well.

The 131 is built to ANSI A156.6, the architectural door trim standard, under type number J401. For a spec writer or an institutional buyer working off a hardware schedule that calls for A156.6 J401 door pulls, the 131 answers that line directly. Cite the model and the finish and it lands on the drawing.

The 131 mounts with #8 x 3/4 inch oval head sheet metal screws, so it is a surface-applied pull fastened into the door face, not a through-bolted assembly. Short SMS like that hold well in a hollow metal door with reinforcement behind the skin. On a high-traffic entrance or where you want a pull on both faces tied together, a through-bolt design like the Ives 8103HD or the ABH AB7200 is the better mounting method.

The 131 is a single-side surface pull fastened with sheet metal screws, so it is not a back-to-back set and it depends on door material that will hold a screw. For a matched pair of pulls fastened through the door, look at the Deltana SSPOBB24 24 inch back-to-back offset pulls, the SSPORBB24 round offset back-to-back, or the Deltana OHP620 back-to-back set, which is listed for 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch door thickness.

The Ives 8102HD straight door pull is the nearest match on hand clearance. It uses a 3/4 inch round bar and carries 1-1/2 inch clearance, the same clearance the Rockwood 131 provides, and Ives rates it heavy duty. The difference is in the body: the 131 is a cast pull on a 2 inch base with a 2-1/4 inch projection, while the 8102HD is a bar-style pull. Where a locksmith or property manager is matching gloved-hand clearance across a run of doors, the two land in the same place.

The Rockwood 131 is a cast pull on a 2 inch base with a 2-1/4 inch projection, single grip length. For a long back-to-back set, Deltana lists the SSPOBB24 at 24 inches in modern offset and the SSPORBB24 at 24 inches in round offset, both back-to-back. The SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull, single side, if only one face is being pulled. Deltana also lists the OHP620 off-set handle pull as a back-to-back set for doors 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inches thick, which is the one to check first when the door leaf is thin.

Two options carry through-bolt mounting. The Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull, 1 inch round, with through bolt mounting, and the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull at 7/8 inch diameter, also through-bolt mounted. The Rockwood 131 uses #8 x 3/4 inch OH sheet metal screws, which is a surface fastening. On a high-abuse opening where the pull is being torqued, or where the door construction will not hold a screw, the through-bolted pulls are the ones to schedule.

Two finishes are offered on the 131: 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed and 626 satin chrome. The 626 is the standard commercial finish you match to most lever and closer hardware, while 613 is the darker bronze look for wood doors and hospitality entries. If your building is standardized on 630 stainless, this pull will not match it in the offered finishes.

Cast construction, offered in cast aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. Cast rather than tube-formed matters on a pull that takes daily abuse: the base and grip are one piece of metal rather than a bar welded to a foot. Stainless is the pick for exterior openings and washdown areas, brass for finish-matched interior entries.

It works as a standard pull, but it is not the purpose-built restroom solution. The 1-1/2 inch clearance is sized for a hand grip, not a forearm hook. If the goal is a no-touch exit from a restroom, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is the part designed for that job.

No. The Rockwood 131 is a cast pull with a 2-1/4 inch projection and 1-1/2 inch clearance, meaning a hand wraps it to pull the door. A push plate is a flat plate with nothing to grip - the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate is 3 inches by 12 inches, and the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate is 8 inches by 16 inches. Those go on the push side of the same opening. If both faces are being outfitted, the Trimco 1070 series classic push/pull plates at 3-1/2 by 15 inches pair a pull and a plate in one series.

For that specific problem the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is the purpose-built answer, and Trimco rates it heavy duty. The Rockwood 131 is a general commercial cast pull built to ANSI A156.6, J401 and is used across institutional buildings, offices, retail, educational, detention, sports facilities, hotel and restaurant work. Where the restroom exit is the concern specifically, the 1035 is designed around it; where a single pull is being standardized across a whole facility's doors, the 131 covers the broader run.
