Rockwood 215 Tapered Door Pulls

Yes. The Rockwood 215 tapered 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. If your door is any other thickness, the fastener length has to change, so specify the actual thickness when you order.

The 215 is an 8 inch center-to-center pull with a 2-1/2 inch projection. Those two numbers are what you lay out on the door: bore the thru-bolt holes 8 inches apart on center, and allow 2-1/2 inches of clearance off the face for the grip so it clears any adjacent frame, mullion, or wall on the swing.

It is certified to ANSI A156.6 under type number J401, which is the standard covering architectural door trim. That is the line a spec writer or institutional buyer needs on the submittal, and it is why the 215 gets used on institutional, education, healthcare, and hospitality openings rather than residential-only trim.

Order it with the Y prefix, as Y215. That adds base plates with a 1-1/16 inch plate diameter, and Rockwood recommends the base-plate version specifically for glass or wood doors. On a standard hollow metal door the plain 215 thru-bolts straight through.

Not as supplied. The bolts that come with the 215 are cut for a 1-3/4 inch door, and it is a commercial-rated pull. For a 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch door, the Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull comes as a back-to-back set rated for that thickness range.

The Rockwood 215 is a tapered stainless steel pull with 8 inch center-to-center spacing and 2-1/2 inch projection. For a straight-bar pull of similar scale, the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull with a 1 inch round bar and through-bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull using a 3/4 inch round bar with 1-1/2 inch clearance. The difference is the grip profile: the 215 tapers along its length, while the 8102HD and 8103HD hold one constant bar diameter end to end. The ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull in 7/8 inch diameter, also through-bolt mounted, which sits between the two Ives bar sizes.

The Rockwood 215 ships with a 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolt and finish washer sized for a standard 1-3/4 inch door, so a thinner leaf needs the fastener called out separately. The Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull is supplied as a back-to-back set with a stated door thickness range of 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch, which covers thin panel and glass-and-wood door leaves directly.

No, they do different jobs. The Rockwood 215 is a tapered door pull with 8 inch center-to-center grip spacing, meeting ANSI A156.6 J401. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inch height, stainless steel construction, which mounts over a rim cylinder so the door can be pulled shut at a night latch. If the opening needs a hand grip for a push-pull door, the 215 is the pull; the PUL-175 belongs on a cylinder prep.

The Rockwood 215 can go on a glass or wood door, but it is ordered with the Y prefix (Y215) to get base plates, with a Y plate diameter of 1-1/16 inch. If you would rather have a pull built for a thin glass or panel leaf out of the box, the Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull comes as a back-to-back set with a stated door thickness range of 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. For a plain flat end straight bar on a narrow glass stile, the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end commercial pull in 1.00 inch diameter.

Yes, back to back. Order it as 215BTB and you get two pulls set up to thru-bolt against each other through the same holes, so one set of fasteners carries both sides. Order two separate 215 pulls and you will be fighting over the same bolt holes.

Stainless steel, supplied in 630 satin stainless. That is the same finish designation carried on most commercial push plates, exit device trim, and hinges, so it lines up with a building already standardized on satin stainless. Solid stainless also holds up better than plated finishes on high-traffic entry doors that get cleaned constantly.

The 215 is a tapered grip mounted straight on 8 inch centers with a 2-1/2 inch projection, so the hand wraps the bar in line with the door face. An offset pull kicks the grip away from the door on a bent leg to open up knuckle room, which is what you want on a heavy door someone has to haul open. If that is your opening, look at the Ives 8145 45 degree offset pull or the Ives 8169 C style offset pull instead.

The 215 is an 8 inch center-to-center pull, which is the short-grip size for a door someone grabs with one hand. For a full height storefront or glass entry where you want a long vertical bar, the Deltana SSPOBB24 24 inch back-to-back offset pull or the SSPORBB24 24 inch back-to-back round offset pull are the long-bar options, and the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch single-side pull in between.

A pull handles the pull side only. On the push side you want a plate to take the palm and the cart hits, and the 215 does not include one. Trimco's 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 x 12 inches is the common companion size, and the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate at 8 x 16 inches covers a wider strike zone on high traffic doors.

It works well for that. One model number, one 8 inch center-to-center hole pattern, one satin stainless finish, and thru-bolt mounting means every door in the run drills the same and every replacement matches. Where a door needs pulls on both faces, the same part goes on as 215BTB, and glass or wood leaves take Y215 with the base plates, so you stay in one series across mixed door types.

The Rockwood 215 is a tapered pull with 2-1/2 inch projection off the face of the door. If you want the grip carried out on offset arms instead, the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end pull for surface mount, the ABH AB3330 is an offset round end pull offered in custom lengths, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull in 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting. For a 45 degree offset, the Ives 8145EZHD is an offset pull with heavy duty mounting hardware, described as ADA compliant.

The Rockwood 215 is the pull half of a push-pull opening. For the push side, the Trimco 1001-1 is a heavy duty push plate in 3 inch by 12 inch, the Trimco 1041 is a half-round push plate in 8 inch by 16 inch, and the Trimco 1070 series covers classic push and pull plates in 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch. Choose the plate size against the stile width and the hand contact area you want protected.

The Rockwood 215 grips at 8 inch center-to-center. For a longer hand area, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull mounted on a single side, the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset pull set, and the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back round offset pull set. The ABH AB3330 offset round end pull is offered with custom length options if a specific length is required. Note that the 215 can also be ordered as a back-to-back pair using the BTB suffix (215BTB) if what you actually need is a pull on both faces rather than a longer one.

The Rockwood 215 is a commercial stainless steel pull meeting ANSI A156.6 J401, and it is at home on institutional openings. If the door is specifically a restroom, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is a heavy duty pull built for that application. The Ives 8103HD is another heavy duty option, a straight pull with a 1 inch round bar and through bolt mounting, which spreads the pull load through the door leaf the same way the 215 thru bolt does.

No handing to specify. The 215 is a symmetrical tapered bar on 8 inch centers that thru-bolts through the door, so the same part works left or right hand and on either face. Decorative pulls are where handing bites you, for instance the Emtek Art Nouveau 8 inch pull is ordered by handing.
