Rockwood AP1141 Arm Pull, 1-1/2" to 3/4" Pull Width

The AP1141 is a hands-free arm pull: instead of gripping with your hand, you hook a forearm or elbow into it to open the door. It's used on restroom and exit doors, exam rooms, kitchens, and anywhere hand contact is a hygiene problem. Formed from 1/8 inch thick stainless steel, it has a 4-3/4 inch clearance and 4-1/2 inch projection off the face of the door, which is what gives you room to get a forearm behind it.

Yes. Rockwood lists the AP1141 for application above an existing door pull or as a new standalone installation, so you don't have to strip the door's current hardware to add hands-free operation. Mounting is with the supplied #10 x 1-1/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws.

Projection is 4-1/2 inches with 4-3/4 inches of clearance between the pull and the door face. That's a deliberately deep reach so a forearm fits through, but it means you need to check swing clearance where the door sits close to a return wall, a pair of doors, or a corridor pinch point before you commit.

The Rockwood AP1141 is a stainless steel arm pull with a 4-1/2 inch projection and 4-3/4 inch clearance, so the forearm hooks behind it rather than gripping. The closest peer intended for the same hands-free restroom use is the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull, a heavy duty pull in the 1035 series. Conventional grip pulls such as the Ives 8102HD heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4 inch round bar and 1-1/2 inch clearance are hand pulls and do not give the arm the standoff the AP1141 provides.

The Rockwood AP1141 is designed to be applied above an existing door pull or installed as a new application, and it fastens with #10 x 1-1/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws. Peer pulls in the same family are generally full replacements at the existing prep: the Ives 8103HD heavy duty straight pull uses through bolt mounting, the ABH AB7200 solid stainless flat end pull also uses through-bolt mounting, and the Sure-Loc PL-1RD round long pull offers concealed or thru-bolt mounting. If you want to keep the existing pull in service and add a forearm option above it, the AP1141 is the one built for that.

It ships with #10 x 1-1/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws, so it surface mounts with screws into the door face rather than through-bolting. On hollow metal that means landing into the stile reinforcement; on wood doors, solid core. If your spec calls for through-bolted pulls, look at a through-bolt design instead, such as the ABH AB7200 or the Ives 8103HD.

Four: 630 satin stainless, 613E dark oxidized bronze, BSP black suede powder coat, and WSP white suede powder coat. The 630 is the usual choice when you're matching existing stainless push plates and pulls; the two suede powder coats are for matching painted or dark-finish trim in hospitality and healthcare interiors.

It's built as commercial hardware, formed from 1/8 inch stainless steel, and Rockwood trim of this kind is used on institutional buildings, offices, retail, educational, detention, sports facilities, and hotel and restaurant work. Stainless holds up to repeated cleaning and disinfectant, which is why the 630 satin stainless version is the common pick for healthcare and education restrooms.

If the deep 4-1/2 inch forearm loop is more projection than the opening allows, a foot or wrist style option covers similar ground: the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is a heavy duty restroom-specific pull, and the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset pull. Those are gripped or pushed rather than hooked with a forearm, so they reduce hand contact without the AP1141's reach.

The AP1141 is a commercial stainless steel arm pull with a 4-1/2 inch projection. If the opening calls for a conventional offset grip pull rather than a forearm pull, the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware described as ADA compliant, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull at 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting. ABH also offers offset styles in the AB3310 flat end and AB3330 round end series.

The Rockwood AP1141 arm pull is applied to a single face, either above an existing pull or as a new application. For a matched pair working both sides of the door, back-to-back sets are the ones to look at: the Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull comes as a back-to-back set for doors 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inches thick, the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset pair, the Deltana SSPORBB24 is the 24 inch round offset version, and the Sure-Loc PL-2KN is a double-sided knurled long pull.

It's a handle, not a plate. The AP1141 is a formed stainless arm pull that stands 4-1/2 inches off the door so you can hook it with a forearm. If what you actually need is a flat plate for the push side, that's a different item, for example the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 by 12 inches, or the Trimco 1070 Series push/pull plates at 3-1/2 by 15 inches.

The Rockwood AP1141 is a commercial stainless steel arm pull, offered in 630 satin stainless, 613E dark oxidized bronze, and black or white suede powder coat. For a decorative residential entry, the Emtek lost wax cast bronze Art Nouveau 8 inch door pull is handed and the Emtek Arts and Crafts, Baden and Brisbane 8 inch pulls are styled alternatives, while the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary single-side pull.

No, they solve different problems. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inches high in stainless steel, used at a rim cylinder on a night latch application. The Rockwood AP1141 is an arm pull with a 4-1/2 inch projection and 4-3/4 inch clearance for forearm operation and is not a cylinder pull.
