Rockwood BF157A47CT3-28 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Rockwood BF157A47 bar set work on an offset hung door?
That's exactly what it's built for. The BF157A47 is a Series 47 offset single bar set, offset hung, with a 1 inch diameter bar. The pull side mounts 9 inches center-to-center and the push side runs 33 inches center-to-center, so it's a single assembly that gives you a short grab bar on the pull face and a long push bar on the opposite face. If your door is center hung or you want matching bar lengths on both faces, this isn't the right configuration.
2) How much hand clearance and how far off the door does the Rockwood BF157A47 pull stand?
Clearance behind the bar is 2-1/2 inches and total projection off the door face is 3-1/2 inches. That matters in a corridor or a vestibule where a door swings toward a wall or a second leaf, and it matters for gloved hands: 2-1/2 inches is real knuckle room, not a decorative pull. Measure your swing path against the 3-1/2 inch projection before you commit, especially on a pair.
3) Do I have to specify handing when I order the Rockwood BF157A47?
Yes, handing is required. The BF157A47 is ordered right hand or left hand, because the offset bar set is not symmetrical and the pull side has to land on the correct edge of the door. Stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on before you order. PUSH or PULL engraving is also available if you want the faces marked.
4) Does the Rockwood BF157A47 meet ANSI A156.6 for a commercial spec job?
It's built to ANSI A156.6, type J505. That's the architectural door trim standard, and J505 is the classification carried on the BF157A47. It's a commercial-rated bar set, used in institutional buildings, schools, offices, retail, detention, hotels, and restaurants. If the drawing calls out A156.6 architectural trim, this satisfies that line.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Rockwood BF157A47 offset bar set if the door needs a 45 degree offset pull instead of a straight offset bar?
The Rockwood BF157A47 is an offset hung single bar set with a 1 inch diameter pull bar, 9 inch center-to-center on the pull side and 33 inch center-to-center on the push side, with a 3-1/2 inch projection and 2-1/2 inch clearance. Where the opening calls for a 45 degree offset geometry rather than that bar-set arrangement, the Ives 8145 45 Degree Offset Door Pull is the 45 degree offset pull in the same commercial family, supplied with heavy duty mounting hardware. The Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull, also 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting, if you want to keep the 1 inch bar diameter while changing the offset shape.
6) I only need a pull on one side of the door, not a matched push bar. What should I use instead of the Rockwood BF157A47?
The Rockwood BF157A47 is a single bar set, meaning it pairs a 9 inch center-to-center pull with a 33 inch center-to-center push bar on the opposite face. When only one face needs a pull, the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end door pull handle for commercial surface mount, and the ABH AB3330 is an offset round end pull offered with custom length options. Both are single pull handles rather than a two-sided bar set, so the opposite face is left free for a push plate or nothing at all.
7) Is the ABH AB3300 a substitute for the Rockwood BF157A47?
They share the 1 inch bar diameter, but the geometry is different. The ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end commercial door pull at 1.00 inch diameter, while the Rockwood BF157A47 is an offset hung bar set with a 3-1/2 inch projection and 2-1/2 inch clearance. A straight pull mounts flush to the face rather than standing off on offset legs, so it will not reproduce the BF157A47 hand clearance or the push bar on the opposite face. Within the straight family, the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless flat end pull at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting, and the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 1 inch round bar and through bolt mounting.
8) Can I use a Deltana back-to-back offset pull set in place of the Rockwood BF157A47?
They solve different openings. The Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset door pull set and the Deltana SSPORBB24 is the round offset version at the same 24 inch size, both configured pull-to-pull through the door. The Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull, back-to-back set, rated for a 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch door thickness range. The Rockwood BF157A47 is a pull-plus-push arrangement, 9 inch center-to-center pull against a 33 inch center-to-center push bar, built for commercial service in aluminum, brass, bronze, or stainless steel and conforming to ANSI A156.6, J505. If the opening is a commercial entrance being pulled from one side and pushed from the other, the back-to-back Deltana sets are a different configuration, not a drop-in.
9) I need a pull for a restroom door or a night latch cylinder. Is the Rockwood BF157A47 the right part?
No. The Rockwood BF157A47 is an offset hung push and pull bar set with a 9 inch center-to-center pull and a 33 inch center-to-center push bar, meant for commercial entrance and interior openings. For a restroom door where the user pulls without touching the handle by hand, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is the heavy duty part built for that use. For a door with a night latch cylinder, the Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull at 3-1/2 inch height in stainless steel construction.
10) What finishes and materials does the Rockwood BF157A47 offset bar set come in?
Four finishes: 626 satin chrome, 628 satin aluminum clear anodized, 313 dark bronze anodized aluminum, and 630 satin stainless steel. The bar set is made in aluminum, brass, bronze, or stainless steel. For matching a building already running satin stainless hardware, 630 is the one that lines up with the usual lever and push plate finish; 313 is the anodized aluminum finish that goes with dark bronze storefront.
11) Can I get the Rockwood BF157A47 with base plates or heavier mounting for a high traffic door?
Both are available. Base plates are ordered using the BPBF15747 prefix, and a heavy-duty fastening version is ordered with the HD suffix. On a school entrance, a hospital corridor, or anything getting cart traffic, the HD fastening is the version to specify. Base plates are worth adding on glass or thin-face doors where you want the load spread over a larger footprint.
12) What's the difference between the Rockwood BF157A47 and a plain straight door pull?
An offset bar set like the BF157A47 is a two-sided assembly: a 9 inch center-to-center grab on the pull face and a 33 inch center-to-center bar on the push face, back-to-back through the door. A straight pull such as the Ives 8103HD, a 1 inch round through-bolted pull, is a single handle on one face only, so you'd need a separate push plate or second pull for the other side. Pick the offset bar set when you want one ordered assembly covering push and pull on an offset hung door; pick a straight pull when you're only dressing one face.
13) Is the Rockwood BF157A47 suitable for a residential entry door?
It's a commercial bar set, and the 33 inch center-to-center push bar is sized for a commercial entrance leaf, not a typical house door. For residential entries, the Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull is a back-to-back set specified for 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch doors, and the Emtek 8 inch pulls in Baden, Brisbane, Arts and Crafts, or Art Nouveau are the decorative route. Save the BF157A47 for storefront, institutional, and commercial openings.
14) How do I lay out the mounting holes for the Rockwood BF157A47?
Two different hole patterns, one per face. The pull face is drilled 9 inches center-to-center, the push face 33 inches center-to-center, and the two faces are tied together through the door as one offset hung assembly. Because it's handed, mark the pull side first against the hinge edge and set the push bar layout off that, or you'll drill a mirrored door. Add the BPBF15747 base plates if you'd rather not commit the door face to bare through-holes.
15) If I want a plate on the push side instead of a 33 inch push bar, what pairs with a pull on the opposite face?
The Rockwood BF157A47 supplies its own push side as a 33 inch center-to-center bar. To run a plate on the push face instead, the Trimco 1001-1 is a heavy duty push plate at 3 inches by 12 inches, the Trimco 1041 is a half-round push plate at 8 inches by 16 inches, and the Trimco 1070 Series classic push and pull plates come in a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch size. Pair one of those with a single-face pull such as the ABH AB3310 offset flat end pull, and you have a plate-and-pull opening rather than a matched bar set.
16) What can I use if the pull needs a length other than the 9 inch center-to-center on the Rockwood BF157A47?
The Rockwood BF157A47 is fixed at 9 inch center-to-center on the pull side and 33 inch center-to-center on the push side. Where the opening needs a different pull length, the ABH AB3330 offset round end pull is offered with custom length options, and the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull supplied for a single side. Both keep an offset or standoff pull form while moving off the 9 inch dimension.
