Rockwood ROC-137-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Rockwood 137 door pull mount on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The 137 cast pull ships with 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolts and finish washers sized for a standard 1-3/4 inch door. On any other door thickness you have to advise the thickness when ordering so the bolt length matches, otherwise the thru bolts will either bottom out or stand proud of the opposite face.
2) What is the hole spacing on the Rockwood 137 pull, and will it cover my existing pull holes?
Mounting holes are 5-1/2 inches center to center on the 137. If the door is already drilled at 5-1/2 CTC it drops straight onto the existing prep. Any other spacing means new holes, and because the pull is a cast arch shape rather than a long bar, it will not hide off-pattern holes behind a plate.
3) Does the Rockwood 137 meet ANSI/BHMA requirements for a specified commercial opening?
The 137 is listed to ANSI A156.6 under type J401, the BHMA standard for architectural door trim. That is the citation a spec writer or institutional buyer usually wants on a submittal, and the pull is classed as commercial rather than residential trim.
4) What is a close equivalent to the Rockwood 137 cast door pull if I need the same 1-1/2 inch clearance in a straight bar pull?
The Ives 8102HD heavy duty straight door pull uses a 3/4 inch round bar and carries a 1-1/2 inch clearance, matching the 1-1/2 inch clearance of the Rockwood 137. The difference is shape: the 137 is an arch cast pull with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection, while the 8102HD is a straight round-bar pull. If the hand feel of a round bar is acceptable and the hole pattern can be re-drilled, the 8102HD covers the same grip clearance.
5) The Rockwood 137 is too small for an ADA pull side on a full-height entrance. What should I specify instead?
Look at the Ives 8145EZHD, a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware from the ADA compliant EZ series, or the Ives 8169 C style offset solid pull at 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting. The Rockwood 137 is a compact arch cast pull on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, which suits smaller openings and auxiliary doors rather than long offset entrance grips.
6) Will a Deltana OHP620 offset pull work in place of the Rockwood 137 on a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
No. The Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull is a back-to-back set listed for doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch thick, which does not cover a 1-3/4 inch door. The Rockwood 137 ships standard with 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolts and finish washers sized for a 1-3/4 inch door, so it is the correct choice for standard commercial leaves.
7) I need a pull for a door thinner than 1-3/4 inch - what handles a wider thickness range than the Rockwood 137?
The Sure-Loc PL-1SQ square long door pull is a single-sided pull listed for doors 1/2 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, so it spans thin panels and thicker leaves. The Rockwood 137 comes with 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolts sized for a standard 1-3/4 inch door, so anything other than 1-3/4 inch has to be called out when ordering.
8) How much hand clearance does the Rockwood 137 arch pull give behind the grip?
1-1/2 inches of clearance behind the grip, with the pull projecting 2 inches off the door face. That is enough room for a gloved hand, and the 2 inch projection is worth checking against anything alongside the opening, a door in a tight vestibule or a pull that swings toward an adjacent wall or frame return.
9) What material and finish does the Rockwood 137 come in?
Cast stainless steel, supplied in 630 satin stainless. Satin stainless is the usual match for stainless push plates, kick plates and hinges already on an institutional opening, and stainless holds up better than plated brass in restrooms, kitchens and exterior entries.
10) Should I use a short arch pull like the Rockwood 137 or a long bar pull on my entrance door?
An arch pull at 5-1/2 inches CTC is a grab-and-pull handle, right for restroom doors, office and interior doors, and as the pull half of a push plate and pull combination. If you need a full-height grip for a glass or aluminum storefront entry, go to a long bar instead, such as the Deltana SSP1210 12 inch contemporary pull or the Deltana SSPOBB24 24 inch back to back offset pulls.
11) Can I use the Rockwood 137 on a thin residential or cabinet-thickness door?
Not as supplied. The standard fastener pack is a 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolt set made up for a 1-3/4 inch door, so a much thinner door needs the mounting called out at order time. For doors in the 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch range, the Deltana OHP620 offset handle pull is built for that thickness as a back to back set.
12) I need a door pull with a larger diameter grip than the Rockwood 137 arch pull. What else should I look at?
Two heavier-bar options: the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 1 inch round bar and through-bolt mounting, and the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end commercial pull with a 1.00 inch diameter. The Rockwood 137 is a cast arch pull on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center with a 2 inch projection, so the grip geometry is different - the 137 arches away from the face rather than running as a straight bar.
13) Is an Emtek Baden or Art Nouveau 8 inch pull a substitute for the Rockwood 137?
They are different products for different jobs. The Emtek Baden and Arts and Crafts are 8 inch decorative door pulls, and the Art Nouveau is a lost wax cast bronze 8 inch pull sold by handing. The Rockwood 137 is a stainless steel cast pull specified for commercial use under ANSI A156.6, J401, so on an institutional or retail opening the 137 is the one carrying the commercial spec.
14) Can I use a Cal-Royal PUL-175 where the Rockwood 137 is specified?
Only if the opening actually calls for a night latch pull. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inch in height, in stainless steel construction, and it is drilled to work with a rim cylinder. The Rockwood 137 is a plain arch cast pull on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center with no cylinder provision, so it is the right part for a standard pull-side grip and the wrong part where a cylinder has to pass through.
15) I need a long back-to-back pull set for a glass or storefront entrance, not the Rockwood 137. What are the options?
The Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset door pull set and the SSPORBB24 is the 24 inch back-to-back round offset version; the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull for single side mounting. The Rockwood 137 is a much shorter arch cast pull on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, so it is not a substitute where a long vertical grip is wanted.
16) Is the Rockwood 137 sold as a single pull or as a back-to-back pair?
The 137 is a single pull supplied with thru bolts and finish washers, the standard arrangement for a push-side plate and pull-side handle on a swing door. If both faces need a grip, you want a back to back set such as the Deltana SSPOBB24 or the Sure-Loc PL-2KN double-sided pull rather than two thru-bolted singles fighting for the same holes.
17) What push plate pairs with the Rockwood 137 pull on a push/pull opening?
Any standard architectural push plate works, since the 137 mounts independently on the pull face. Common pairings we carry are the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 by 12 inches, or the Trimco 1070 Series classic push/pull plates at 3-1/2 by 15 inches. Order the plate in satin stainless to match the 137's 630 finish.
18) Is the Rockwood 137 durable enough for high-traffic building doors?
It is cast stainless commercial trim listed to ANSI A156.6 J401, the kind of pull Rockwood trim is specified on for institutional buildings, offices, retail, schools, detention, sports facilities, hotels and restaurants. For a property manager standardizing across a portfolio, the satin stainless finish and 5-1/2 inch CTC prep make it repeatable door to door.
