Rockwood D89 Flush Pull

The D89 has a 7/8 inch product depth, so the pocket you rout in the door face has to be at least that deep for the cup to sit flush. On a 1-3/4 inch commercial door that leaves plenty of material behind the pull, but on a thin hollow-core or a 1-3/8 inch door check what's behind the cut before you commit, especially if there's a pull going in the opposite face.

Two fastener types ship with it: 1/4-20 x 1/2 inch oval head security Torx machine screws and #14 x 1 inch oval head security Torx sheet metal screws. The machine screws are for tapped metal, the SMS for wood or a sleeve. Both are security Torx, meaning pin-in-center bits, so a standard Torx set won't drive them. Get a security Torx bit set on the truck before install day.

Commercial. The D89 is built to ANSI A156.6, J403, the standard for architectural door trim, and Rockwood pulls of this kind go into institutional buildings, offices, retail, schools, detention, sports facilities, and hotels. Cast brass rather than stamped, which is what holds up in high-traffic openings.

The D89 is used on detention work and it's a fixed recessed cup with security Torx fasteners, which removes the easy tamper path. It is not, however, sold as a ligature-resistant product. If ligature resistance is the actual requirement on your opening, the ABH 1911 Series flush door pull is the one with ligature-resistant design in its specification. Don't substitute a standard cup pull into a behavioral health room and assume it covers the same requirement.

The Trimco 1060/1061 flush cup pulls and the Trimco 1111 large flush cup pulls both serve the same recessed-pull role on a sliding or pocket door. The Rockwood D89 is cast brass with a 7/8 inch product depth, so the pocket routed for it is deeper than a shallow cup pull mortise; confirm the door leaf thickness before swapping a D89 pocket for either Trimco series. The D89 also ships with 1/4-20 x 1/2 inch security Torx machine screws and #14 x 1 inch security Torx sheet metal screws, which matters where tamper-resistant fasteners are part of the spec.

Use the ABH 1911 series flush door pull, which is built with a ligature-resistant design for patient and detention rooms. The Rockwood D89 is a conventional cast brass flush pull built to ANSI A156.6 J403 for commercial openings; it has no ligature-resistant geometry, so on a psychiatric or holding-room door the ABH 1911 is the one specified.

Look at the Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring flush pulls. The drop ring pivots out so a finger can catch it when the leaf is nearly flush in the jamb, which a plain recess does not allow. The Rockwood D89 is a fixed recessed cast brass pull with a 7/8 inch depth and no moving ring, so it suits an edge or face location where the hand can reach into the cup.

Satin chrome, 626, is the finish offered. If you're matching it to existing hardware, 626 is the standard satin chrome commercial finish and it lines up visually with US26D satin chrome plated hardware on the same opening. Against satin stainless 630 trim it will read slightly different in tone, which matters if the push plates and pulls on adjacent doors are stainless.

A flush cup like the Rockwood D89 gives you a fixed recessed grip, nothing moves, nothing rattles, and there's nothing to catch on. That's the right call for high traffic and for detention or institutional work. A drop ring, like the Trimco 1066/1067/1068 drop-ring flush pulls, gives you a hinged ring that folds down into the cup and swings up when you need real leverage. Choose the ring if the door is heavy and users need a firm grip to break it loose; choose the fixed cup if you want fewer moving parts and less abuse potential.

Closest in concept are the Trimco flush cup pulls: the 1060/1061 for a standard rectangular cup, the 1111 Series if you need a larger cup for a gloved hand or a heavier leaf, and the 1059 drive-in version if you'd rather press the cup into a bored hole than mortise and screw it. For a round cup instead of rectangular, the Orca Hardware FPULL is a 2-1/8 inch diameter round flush pull. On a residential or high-end pocket door the Baldwin Estate 8601 pocket door pull is the decorative route.

Usually yes. A flush pull only works from the face it's mortised into, so a door someone operates from both sides needs one in each face. On a pocket door that means two D89 cups, and with a 7/8 inch depth per cup you need to confirm the door has enough thickness to take both mortises back to back without meeting in the middle. Order quantity accordingly rather than one per opening.

No. The D89 is a pull only, cast brass, recessed into the door face for grip. There's no latch, no lock, no privacy function in it. If the sliding door needs to secure or lock, that comes from separate hardware and the D89 just gives you the operating grip. Buyers replacing a combined pocket door latch-and-pull will need a different part.

The Trimco 1059 is a drive-in cup pull, set into a bored hole without separate screws. The Rockwood D89 is fastened with 1/4-20 x 1/2 inch security Torx machine screws or #14 x 1 inch security Torx sheet metal screws and is 7/8 inch deep. On a wood door where you want a fast bored install and no visible fastener heads, the 1059 is the drive-in route; where the fastener must be tamper-resistant and removable, the D89 is the screw-applied cast brass pull.

They land in different places. The Baldwin Estate 8601 is a pocket door pull for passage and dummy applications, an Estate series decorative pull for residential and finer-finish openings. The Rockwood D89 is a commercial cast brass flush pull certified to ANSI A156.6 J403 with security Torx fasteners. On an apartment or hospitality guest-side pocket door the 8601 is the residential-grade look; on a corridor, classroom, or back-of-house sliding door the D89 is the commercial part.

The Orca Hardware 2-1/8 inch diameter round flush pull is the simpler round-bore option, sized for a single 2-1/8 inch hole. The Rockwood D89 is a cast brass commercial flush pull at 7/8 inch deep, built to ANSI A156.6 J403 and supplied with security Torx fasteners for institutional traffic. On a cabinet, panel, or light sliding leaf the Orca round pull covers it; on a high-traffic building opening the D89 is the commercial-duty part.

The Trimco 1111 series large flush cup pulls are the larger-cup option when a full hand grip is needed to start a heavy leaf moving. The Rockwood D89 in 626 satin chrome is a cast brass pull 7/8 inch deep with security Torx fasteners, which suits standard sliding and pocket doors where a finger pull is enough. Match the mortise cutout to whichever you choose, since the larger Trimco cup requires a wider prep than the D89 pocket.

The D89 body is cast brass, which doesn't rust the way a plated steel pull will, and the 626 satin chrome plating over it handles routine cleaning. Where it needs watching is the fasteners rather than the pull: the supplied screws are the wear point in a corrosive setting, and in a pool enclosure or shoreline building you'd want to review the fastening with the specifier rather than assume the packed screws suit the environment.

For a fleet of sliding or pocket doors, yes, and it's a sensible standard: one model, one finish (626 satin chrome), one fastener spec across every opening, so the maintenance stock is a single line item and one security Torx bit set covers the building. ANSI A156.6, J403 gives your spec writer a standard to cite on the drawing rather than a proprietary model number alone.
