Rockwood BF157AC17 Offset Door Pull 1x9, 1"x9" CTC, Type 17 Concealed Mount, Barrier Free 2-1/2 Clearance

It's a 1 inch diameter round-grip offset pull with 9 inch center-to-center spacing between the mounting points. Projection off the door face is 3-1/2 inches, with a 4 inch offset between the two ends, and the barrier-free geometry gives 2-1/2 inch hand clearance behind the grip. Those are the numbers that matter if you're checking clearance to a frame, a mullion, or an adjacent pull on a pair of doors.

That's what the barrier-free design is for. Rockwood recommends the BF157AC17 for ADA openings, and the 2-1/2 inch clearance behind the round grip is what lets a hand wrap the pull without pinching or twisting the wrist. The round grip shape and bent ends are part of the same intent.

It's the wrong part for that. The BF157AC17 is the pull handle you grip to open the door, not a stop. For protecting a wall you want a wall stop or bumper: the Ives WS11 heavy duty wall stop with a replaceable rubber bumper and the Ives WS33/WS33X are both heavy duty options for drywall and masonry, and the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with regular rosette is a lighter residential-style choice. If the door also needs to be held open, the Ives WS20 is a manual wall holder with a hinged strike and the WS40 is an automatic wall holder.

No. The Ives WS33/WS33X is a heavy-duty wall door stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, so it mounts on the wall to arrest the door swing. The Rockwood BF157AC17 is an offset door pull with a 1 inch round grip on 9 inch centers, a 3 1/2 inch projection and a 4 inch offset, mounted to the door face so a person can open it. The two do different jobs on the same opening and are commonly specified together rather than one in place of the other.

A pull such as the Rockwood BF157AC17, which is recommended for ADA openings, gets a person through the door but does nothing to keep it open. For hold-open duty, the Ives WS20/WS20X is a manual wall holder with a hinged strike for drywall and masonry, engaged by hand at the wall; the Ives WS40 is an automatic wall holder with a heavy duty bumper pad, which catches the door as it swings. The WS20 is a heavy duty holder and the WS40 is rated light duty.

Type 17 is the concealed fastening arrangement, so no exposed screw heads show on the grip side. The pull ships with 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolts and finish washers. Concealed single pulls are ordered with the C suffix plus the mounting type number, which is how the 17 gets into the part number.

Yes. Back to back mounting in pairs is ordered with the BTB suffix plus the mounting type number, which ties the two pulls together through the door instead of each one bolting independently. That's the arrangement you want on a full-glass or push-pull opening where both faces get a pull.

There is. Add the HD suffix to the fastening type number and you get a hex drive fastener and a larger overall mounting size. Rockwood recommends it for high frequency and rough service openings, which is the call to make on a school, hospital or retail main entrance rather than an interior office door.

Twelve finishes, so it can be matched to almost any existing hardware set: 605 polished clear coated, 606 satin clear coated, 612 satin clear coated, 613 satin oxidized oil rubbed, 625 polished chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 clear anodized, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 710 dark bronze anodized, 711 black anodized, and BSP black suede powder coat. Base materials across the range are aluminum, brass, bronze and stainless steel, so the anodized codes are the aluminum builds and 629/630 the stainless.

A pull with a 3 1/2 inch projection and a 4 inch offset stands well off the door face, so on a door that swings into a wall the trim can reach drywall before the door does. A concave wall bumper takes that contact: the Delaney 40270x is a 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper and the Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper supplied with a regular rosette. For a longer standoff where the trim projects further than a flush bumper can reach, the ABH RM and RMS series wall door stops are offered in multiple length options.

626 is satin chrome plated and 630 is satin stainless steel. They read close in a corridor but they are not the same finish, and on a job where the levers and closers are already 626 the pull should be 626 too. If the building standard is stainless hardware, 630 is the match. For anodized aluminum storefront, 628 clear or 710 dark bronze line up with typical door and frame anodizing.

Commercial. It's specified as commercial door hardware, and the ordering options back that up: thru bolt, back to back and concealed mounting systems for wood, metal and glass doors, plus an HD fastening upgrade for high frequency and rough service openings. Rockwood states the mounting systems are guaranteed for the life of the door.

The ABH RM series and the ABH RMS series are both wall door stops offered in multiple length options, so the projection can be matched to how far the door and its trim actually travel. The Ives WS11/WS11X is a heavy duty wall stop with a replaceable rubber bumper for drywall and masonry, which means the strike face is a serviceable part rather than a replace-the-whole-stop item. Length selection drives the ABH choice; bumper serviceability and the drywall or masonry anchor drive the Ives choice.

The Delaney 40210X is a 3 inch spring door stop and the Delaney 4021XX is a 3 inch heavy duty rigid door stop. The spring version flexes on contact, so the door decelerates against the coil; the rigid version stops the door on a fixed post with no give. Both are baseboard-height stops, so on a door carrying a pull with a 3 1/2 inch projection, confirm the trim clears the wall before the stop makes contact.

The Rockwood BF157AC17 uses a concealed mounting with a 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolt and finish washer, so when it replaces older trim the previous fastener pattern may not line up. Where an old hole is left exposed, the Delaney 2310011 is a 2-1/8 inch metal hole plate cover made to close a hole of that diameter. It is a cover plate only and carries no pull function.
