Rockwood 880 Cast Lever Edge Pull

The 880 is a cast brass lever edge pull for sliding and barn door openings. It mounts on the leading edge of the door, and the lever pivots out so you can grab it and pull the door out of the pocket or off the jamb, then folds back flat into the edge so the door closes fully. It is a pull only, no latching function.

It is certified to ANSI A156.14 under type number D2801, which is the BHMA standard covering sliding and folding door hardware. That is the line an institutional or MRO spec writer needs when the drawing calls for a BHMA-certified edge pull.

Two #6 x 3/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws ship with the pull, so nothing else is required for a standard wood door edge. On a hollow metal or aluminum edge you will want to swap to machine screws and tap the edge, since 3/4 inch sheet metal screws want wood or a formed edge to bite into.

A lever pull like the Rockwood 880 gives you something to actually grip, which matters when the door is heavy or the user has limited hand strength, and the lever folds back flush when you are done. A concealed cup style pull, such as the Trimco 1062 or 1063, is a recessed pocket you hook a fingertip into, sits fully flush at all times, and takes a cleaner mortise but gives far less leverage. Heavy or stiff doors, go lever. Light residential-weight doors where nothing may protrude, go concealed.

On a bypass setup the lever is a problem on the rear panel. The 880 lever swings out from the door edge, and on bypassing panels the edges pass each other in the same track opening, so a projecting lever can foul the adjacent panel. It suits pocket doors and single sliding or barn doors where the edge runs into a jamb or pocket, not past another leaf. For bypass panels, a flush concealed pull like the Trimco 1062 is the safer choice.

The Rockwood 880 is a cast lever edge pull, meaning the pull element is a lever form. For a concealed style, the Trimco 1062 Series Concealed Edge Pull and the Trimco 1063 Concealed Edge Pull are the concealed-design counterparts, with the 1063 measuring 3/4 inch by 3-7/8 inch. Both mount into the door edge and present a recessed pocket rather than a projecting lever, so the choice comes down to whether the opening calls for a lever to grip or a flush concealed pocket.

The Rockwood 880 is a brass cast lever edge pull. The Emtek 2221 is also a brass edge pull and is sized 3/4 inch by 4 inch, so it is the brass-bodied comparable when a compact pull face is wanted. The 880 carries an ANSI A156.14, D2801 designation, which matters if the opening is being written to a hardware schedule.

They are not drop-in equals. The Rockwood 880 is a cast lever edge pull secured with 2 each #6 x 3/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws. The Trimco 1062 Series and Trimco 1063 are concealed edge pulls, and the 1063 is a 3/4 inch by 3-7/8 inch unit, so the door edge cutout is a recessed pocket rather than a surface prep for a lever body. Treat a swap from the 880 to either Trimco as a new edge prep, not a like-for-like replacement in an existing cutout.

One finish, 626 satin chrome (also written US26D). That is the standard commercial satin chrome used across levers, closers and exit trim, so it lines up with the bulk of institutional and office hardware already hanging in most buildings. If your building is standardized on satin stainless 630 or oil rubbed bronze, this pull will not match.

Commercial grade, cast brass, and BHMA certified to A156.14. Rockwood hardware of this type is what goes on institutional buildings, schools, detention, hotels and offices, so it holds up to the traffic a multi-family or facility opening puts on it. Cast brass rather than stamped means the lever will not fatigue and bend the way thin formed pulls do.

If you want the same edge-mounted pull function from a different brand, ZenSupply carries the ABH 18200 Series with a bent edge design and the ABH 18300 Series with a straight edge design, both solid round pulls. The Emtek 2221 is a brass edge pull at 3/4 by 4 inches, which is the smaller residential-scale option. For a fully flush recessed pull instead of a projecting one, the Trimco 1062 and 1063 Series are the concealed choices. The 880 is the one to pick when you specifically want a folding cast lever rather than a fixed loop or a finger cup.

Yes, it is a retrofit-friendly part. The pull mortises into the door edge and holds with two #6 x 3/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws, so it goes into a hung door without pulling the panel or touching the track hardware. Route the pocket for the housing in the door edge, drop it in, and drive the two screws.

Both ABH units are solid round edge pulls that serve where a cast lever pull like the Rockwood 880 is not the right form for the edge. The 18200 Series uses a bent edge design and the 18300 Series uses a straight edge design. The bent version carries the pull body around the door edge; the straight version keeps it in line with the edge, so the deciding factor is the door edge condition and the clearance to the adjacent jamb or panel.

The Rockwood 880 is a commercial-rated brass cast lever edge pull carrying ANSI A156.14, D2801, which is the reference a facility spec can be written against. The ABH 18200 Series and ABH 18300 Series are solid round edge pulls, bent edge and straight edge respectively, and the Trimco 1062 Series and 1063 are concealed edge pulls. If the standard being set is a lever-form pull with a stated ANSI designation, the 880 is the item that answers it; the others answer a round or concealed pull profile instead.

The body is cast brass, which does not rust, and it carries a 626 satin chrome plated finish. Brass with chrome plating handles ordinary interior humidity fine. In a chlorinated natatorium or direct salt spray, plated chrome can pit over time, so for those environments a stainless product is the more durable call.
