Rockwood ROC-TBF159-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Rockwood TBF159 pull ADA compliant for a barrier-free opening?
It's built for barrier-free use and Rockwood recommends it for ADA openings. The grip clearance is 2-1/2 inches, which gives a full hand behind the bar rather than a pinch grip, and it meets ANSI A156.6 under function J402.
2) What is the center-to-center mounting dimension on the Rockwood TBF159?
18 inches center to center. That's the hole spacing you drill for, and it's the dimension to match if you're replacing an existing pull and want to reuse the prep.
3) Can I mount Rockwood TBF159 pulls back to back on both sides of the same door?
Yes, but it's a different order. For a back-to-back pair use the BTB suffix plus the mounting type number; for a concealed-mount single pull use the C suffix plus the mounting type number. Straight thru-bolt mounting with finish washers is the standard arrangement.
4) I need a matching pull for a thinner residential door, around 1-1/4 inches. Will the TBF159 work?
Not as supplied. The TBF159 is a commercial pull furnished for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a thin door, the Deltana OHP620 offset handle pull back-to-back set is listed for 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch doors, and the Sure-Loc square long pull covers 1/2 to 2-1/4 inch thicknesses.
5) What is a comparable 90-degree offset commercial door pull if the Rockwood TBF159 is not the right fit?
The closest alternatives are the ABH AB3310 offset flat end door pull, a commercial grade surface mount pull, and the ABH AB3330, an offset round end pull offered with custom length options. Both are offset-style pulls like the TBF159, which is an offset hung tubular pull with 18 inch center-to-center, 2-1/2 inch clearance and 3-1/2 inch projection. The AB3330 custom length route is the one to look at when the opening needs a center-to-center other than 18 inches.
6) What is the difference between the Rockwood TBF159 and the Ives 8145EZHD offset pull?
Both are offset pulls intended for accessible openings, but the geometry differs. The TBF159 is a 90-degree tubular offset pull with 2-1/2 inch clearance and 3-1/2 inch projection, mounted with 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolts and finish washers for a standard 1-3/4 inch door. The Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset pull in the heavy duty EZ series, described as ADA compliant, so the grip angles away from the face rather than turning square to it. Pick by the offset angle your elevation calls for.
7) How far does the Rockwood TBF159 offset pull stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3-1/2 inches off the door face, with 2-1/2 inches of clear grip space behind the bar. Worth checking against adjacent walls, side lights, and door swing clearance in a tight vestibule before you commit.
8) Should I use a 90-degree offset pull or a straight pull on a glass or narrow stile entrance?
A 90-degree offset like the TBF159 brings the grip out 3-1/2 inches from the face and runs the bar parallel to the door, which suits full-height entrance doors and gives a clean pull for a barrier-free opening. A straight pull, such as the Ives 8102HD or 8103HD round bar pulls, mounts flush to the face and takes less space where projection into a corridor or vestibule is a problem. A 45-degree offset, like the Ives 8145 EZ series, is the middle ground.
9) I'm standardizing pulls across a building and need a longer offset pull than 18 inches. What else is there?
The TBF159 as configured is an 18 inch center-to-center offset pull. For longer runs, the Deltana SSPOBB24 modern offset and SSPORBB24 round offset are 24 inch back-to-back sets, and the ABH AB3330 offset round end pull is available with custom length options.
10) Is the Rockwood TBF159 suitable for a school or hospital entrance, or is it more of a light-duty pull?
It's a commercial-grade pull certified to ANSI A156.6 as function J402, and Rockwood trim of this kind is used on institutional buildings, offices, retail, education, detention, sports facilities, hotels, and restaurants. Tubular construction with thru-bolt mounting through the door is what carries the load on high-traffic openings rather than surface screws.
11) If I do not need an offset pull, what straight pull can I use instead of the Rockwood TBF159?
For a straight bar in place of the offset TBF159, the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4 inch round bar and 1-1/2 inch clearance, and the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 1 inch round bar and through bolt mounting. ABH also offers the AB3300 straight flat end pull with a 1.00 inch diameter grip and the AB7200 solid stainless flat end pull at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting. Straight pulls give less knuckle clearance than the TBF159's 2-1/2 inch clearance, so confirm the opening does not require the offset.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Rockwood TBF159 but is not?
A few items sit in the same hardware family without doing the same job. The Trimco 1001-1 is a 3 by 12 inch heavy duty push plate and the Trimco 1041 is an 8 by 16 inch half-round push plate, both push side only. The Trimco 1070 series are classic push and pull plates at 3-1/2 by 15 inches, plate-mounted rather than a standalone bar. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inch height in stainless, used at a rim cylinder rather than as a full-length grip. The TBF159 is an 18 inch center-to-center offset tubular pull with 3-1/2 inch projection.
13) Is there a single-sided long pull alternative to the Rockwood TBF159 for thinner doors?
Sure-Loc offers single-sided long pulls in several grip profiles: the PL-1RD round with concealed or thru-bolt mounting, the PL-1KN knurled, and the PL-1SQ square, which is listed for doors 1/2 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. A double-sided knurled version, the PL-2KN, is available where pulls are needed on both faces. The TBF159 is supplied with 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 inch thru bolts and finish washers sized for a standard 1-3/4 inch door, and Rockwood offers back-to-back and concealed mounting variants using the BTB and C suffixes.
14) For a restroom door, should I specify the Rockwood TBF159 or the Trimco 1035?
The Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is a heavy duty pull built specifically for restroom openings. The Rockwood TBF159 is a general commercial 90-degree offset tubular pull, 18 inch center-to-center with 2-1/2 inch clearance, recommended for ADA openings and available in aluminum, brass, bronze or stainless steel. Choose the 1035 when you want the restroom-specific design and the TBF159 when you are standardizing offset pulls across the building's openings.
15) What finish does the Rockwood TBF159 come in, and what is it made of?
It's offered in 630 satin stainless steel, the standard finish for commercial and institutional openings. The TBF159 body is produced in aluminum, brass, bronze, and stainless steel materials across the line.
16) Can I pair the Rockwood TBF159 pull with a push plate on the opposite side of the door?
Yes, a single TBF159 mounted thru-bolt on the pull side pairs with a push plate on the push side, which is the usual arrangement on a one-way swing. Trimco push plates in the comparable range include the 1001 heavy duty plate at 3 x 12 inches, the 1041 half-round at 8 x 16 inches, and the 1070 Series push/pull plates at 3-1/2 x 15 inches. Match the finish to 630 satin stainless if you want the openings to read consistently.
17) Is the Deltana SSP1210 a workable substitute for the Rockwood TBF159?
The Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull supplied for a single side of the door, so it is a shorter, straight contemporary grip. The Rockwood TBF159 is an 18 inch center-to-center offset tubular pull with 3-1/2 inch projection and 2-1/2 inch clearance, certified to ANSI A156.6, J402 for commercial use. If the elevation calls for an 18 inch accessible offset grip, the SSP1210 will not match the hole pattern or the reach.
