Rockwood 94BTB Flush Pull, 3-1/2" by 5", 1-3/4" Depth

It is built to ANSI A156.6, type J403, which is the door architectural hardware standard that covers flush pulls. That is the citation to put on the submittal, and the pull is a commercial-duty item rather than a residential one.

Not for a ligature-risk room. The 94BTB is a standard deep cup pull and its recess is not shaped against ligature attachment; ordering it with security Torx screws only addresses removal, not the cup itself. For patient rooms and holding areas, the ABH 1911 Series flush door pull is the ligature-resistant option to look at instead.

Use the ABH 1911 series flush door pull, which is built with a ligature-resistant design. The Rockwood 94BTB is a standard commercial flush pull meeting ANSI A156.6, J403, and it is specified for institutional buildings generally, but it carries no ligature-resistant construction. On a patient room or holding cell where the opening is assessed for ligature risk, the ABH 1911 is the one that answers that requirement.

The Rockwood 94BTB is a fixed recessed cup with no moving part, so there is nothing to grab once the leaf is inside the jamb. The Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring flush pulls carry a ring that swings out of the recess and gives you something to hook a finger through to draw the door back out. Pair a drop-ring pull on the lead edge with a plain cup like the 94BTB elsewhere on the panel, or use the drop-ring type on its own.

It ships with #8-32 x 3/4 inch oval head machine screws with Type 10 sleeves. For a school, detention area, or any opening where people pick at the hardware, the 94BTB can be ordered with the TORX option, which substitutes security Torx screws for the standard heads.

A deep cup like the 94BTB gives you a 1-3/4 inch recess to get a full hand into, which is what you want when the door is heavy and someone has to pull it moving. A drop ring type, such as the Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring flush pulls, sits flatter and swings a ring out when needed, better where the pull must not collect debris or where the leaf is light. For a plain finger pull on a lighter pocket door, the Trimco 1059 drive-in flush cup pulls install without a screwed-on plate at all.

The Rockwood 94BTB in 630 satin stainless steel covers the ordinary commercial sliding and pocket doors, and it is a stainless steel pull built to ANSI A156.6, J403 for institutional, office, retail, educational, hotel and restaurant work. Two openings typically need a different model alongside it: rooms assessed for ligature risk, where the ABH 1911 ligature-resistant flush pull applies, and doors that must be drawn out of a pocket, where the Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring pull applies. Everything else can run on the 94BTB.

In 630 satin stainless it lines up with the satin stainless push plates, pulls, and trim that make up most commercial openings, and since the body is solid stainless rather than plated brass the tone stays consistent as it wears. Rockwood hardware of this type is what gets specified on institutional, office, retail, education, hotel, and detention work, so it is a normal companion to the rest of a satin stainless package.
