Rockwood 885 Concealed Edge Pull

A concealed pull like the Rockwood 885 mortises flush into the door edge and stays flush, so the door edge stays clean. A round edge pull such as the ABH 18200 Series has a bent edge design that stands proud of the edge to give you something to hook a finger under, and the ABH 18300 Series is the straight edge version of the same round pull. If the door has to sit tight into a pocket or against a mating leaf, take the concealed style. If you want a positive grip and have clearance to spare, the round pulls give you more to hold.

The closest like for like is the Trimco 1062 Series concealed edge pull, which is the same concealed style from another manufacturer. The Trimco 1063 is the same idea in a stated 3/4 x 3-7/8 inch size, and the Emtek 2221 brass edge pull is a 3/4 x 4 inch brass unit. If you already have a mortise cut in the door edge, the Trimco 1063 and the Emtek 2221 are the two where you can check the published cutout size against what is in the door before you order.

The Trimco 1062 Series concealed edge pull is the closest alternative in the same style - a concealed edge pull that mortises into the door edge, the same way the Rockwood 885 does. The Trimco 1063 concealed edge pull is the other in that family, sized 3/4 inch by 3-7/8 inch. All three are concealed edge pulls rather than surface pulls, so a door edge already prepped for a concealed pull is the right opening for any of them.

Brass. On a pocket door edge pull that matters, because the part gets fingernails and rings dragged across it every time the door is closed, and brass takes the satin chrome plating without the rust bleed you get when a plated steel pull is nicked in a wet area like a restroom or a locker room.

No handing to call out. An edge pull mortises into the door edge and is gripped from either side, so there is no left or right hand version to get wrong. The only thing you pick is the finish, and it comes in satin chrome 626.

Both are solid round edge pulls from the same ABH family; the 18200 Series uses a bent edge design and the 18300 Series uses a straight edge design. That edge geometry is what separates them - the bent edge presents a returned lip at the door edge, the straight edge does not. If you are standardizing a building on one edge pull profile, pick the series and stay with it across the doors.

They are not the same part even though both are brass. The Emtek 2221 is a brass edge pull measuring 3/4 inch by 4 inches from Emtek's Edge series, a residential-line pull; the Rockwood 885 is a brass concealed edge pull carried as commercial door hardware. On an institutional or commercial opening, the 885 is the one specified; the Emtek 2221 is the choice when the finish package on a residential door is being matched.

Two candidates carry a published size in that range: the Trimco 1063 concealed edge pull at 3/4 inch by 3-7/8 inch, and the Emtek 2221 brass edge pull at 3/4 inch by 4 inches. The Trimco 1063 is a concealed unit; the Emtek 2221 is from Emtek's Edge series. The Rockwood 885 concealed edge pull is brass as well, so a brass-bodied concealed pull is available from either the Rockwood or Trimco side.

It is a commercial product, and Rockwood hardware is used across institutional buildings, offices, retail, educational, detention, sports facilities, hotels and restaurants. Since it ships in one finish, satin chrome 626, every opening you specify it on lands on the same finish with no option to get wrong on the order.

The Rockwood 885 concealed edge pull ships with its fasteners - 2 each #6 x 1 inch flat head wood screws - so a wood door edge needs nothing extra to hang it. If you cross over to the Trimco 1062 Series or Trimco 1063 concealed edge pull, or the ABH 18200 or 18300 Series solid round edge pull, confirm the fastener pack against the door material you are boring, since a metal edge takes machine screws rather than wood screws.
