Trimco 1096TL Series Anti-Vandal Pull with Astragal

The 1090 Series anti-vandal pulls have no exposed handles and no exposed fasteners, so there is nothing for someone to grab, pry, or back out with a tool. That is the point of the design on school entries, park buildings, and other unsupervised openings: it cuts down the trim damage that a conventional bar pull invites. A standard offset pull like the Ives 8169 or the ABH AB3310 gives a much better grip but leaves a bar and mounting hardware sitting on the face of the door.

The astragal is the vertical closure strip that covers the gap at the meeting edge, so the 1096TL is the version you want where the leading edge of the door needs to be shielded, typically to block a card or shim attack on the latch. Trimco offers the 1090 Series both with and without an astragal, so if the opening does not need edge protection, the plain pull is the one to order.

Both. The 1090 Series is built to mate to exit devices, mortise locks, or cylindrical locks, and versions are made for in-swing and out-swing doors. That means you specify the pull to match the lock or device already on the opening rather than changing the lock to suit the trim. Get the lock function and the swing right when you order, because the cutouts in the plate are what make it work with one and not the other.

Yes, the 1096TL anti-vandal pull is ADA compliant, which is why it shows up on schools, government facilities, and public buildings where the trim has to be operable without tight grasping or twisting and still survive abuse. Trimco rates it heavy duty.

The Trimco 1096TL is an anti-vandal pull with an astragal, and the 1090 Series is offered with or without an astragal, so the no-astragal version of the same series is the direct route. If you want a different brand for a high-traffic school door, the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull with a 1 inch round bar and through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4 inch round bar and 1-1/2 inch clearance. The difference is form: the Trimco is a flush anti-vandal design with no exposed handles or fasteners to tamper with, while the Ives pulls are conventional exposed round bar pulls.

Both are ADA compliant heavy duty pulls. The Trimco 1096TL is listed as ADA compliant and heavy duty, built as a vandal resistant pull with an astragal and no exposed fasteners. The Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware, described as ADA compliant in the EZ series. The Ives is an offset bar pull you grip away from the door face; the Trimco is a flush anti-vandal trim that can be mated to exit devices, mortise locks, or cylindrical locks.

They are a different class of product. The Trimco 1096TL is a heavy duty vandal resistant pull intended for schools, prisons, government facilities, and commercial and industrial buildings, with no exposed handles or fasteners to tamper with. The Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary single side pull and the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back to back modern offset pull; the Emtek Baden and Emtek Brisbane are 8 inch door pulls, and the Emtek Art Nouveau 8 inch pull is lost wax cast bronze with handing selection. Those are decorative and residential-styled exposed pulls, so for a secure opening where tampering is the concern the Trimco is the one specified.

The 1090 Series pulls are made from 1/8 inch material in type 316 stainless steel, bronze, or brass. Type 316 is the marine-grade stainless, so the stainless versions are the ones for coastal or exposed exterior entries. Order the 629 bright stainless or 630 satin stainless for those openings; 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, and 622 matte black are the darker options.

Five finishes: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 629 bright stainless steel, and 630 satin stainless steel. If your existing hardware is BHMA 630 satin stainless, which is the usual commercial standard, the 630 pull drops right in alongside it. 613E is the living-finish dark bronze that will continue to change with wear, 613 the more uniform dark bronze.

It depends on how the door gets treated. A through-bolted bar pull such as the Ives 8103HD or the ABH AB7200 gives a full hand grip and mounts to a plain door face, and it is the normal choice on office and retail entries. Where doors are kicked, pried, or attacked after hours, as at schools, prisons, and strip malls, the Trimco 1096TL is the type to specify because it has no handle or fastener on the face to be worked loose, and the astragal shields the door edge.

Not necessarily. The 1090 Series is a full anti-vandal plate made to mate to a mortise lock, cylindrical lock, or exit device on a flush commercial door. For a storefront night latch, a dedicated cylinder pull like the Cal-Royal PUL-175 at 3-1/2 inch height is the part cut for that application.

No. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inch height, stainless steel, designed to carry a rim cylinder for a night latch application. The Trimco 1096TL is a heavy duty anti-vandal pull with an astragal that can be mated to exit devices, mortise locks, or cylindrical locks. If your requirement is specifically a cylinder pull for a night latch, the Cal-Royal is the part for that function.

The Trimco 1096TL is offered in 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 629 bright stainless steel, and 630 satin stainless steel. If you are matching a stainless look on adjacent doors with a conventional bar pull, the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle, 7/8 inch diameter, with through-bolt mounting, and the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull handle with a 1 inch diameter. The Trimco remains the flush anti-vandal option; the ABH pulls are exposed handles.

The Trimco 1096TL is an anti-vandal pull with astragal, engineered to mate with locksets and exit devices on both in swing and out swing doors, so it is trim for a locked opening rather than a back-to-back set. If you need pulls on both faces of a door with no lock, the Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull supplied as a back-to-back set for 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch doors, the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back round offset pull, and the Sure-Loc PL-2KN is a double-sided knurled long pull.

It is overbuilt for that. The 1096TL is heavy duty commercial trim in 1/8 inch stainless, bronze, or brass for schools, prisons, and public buildings. On an interior residential or light commercial door, a decorative 8 inch pull such as the Emtek Baden or Emtek Arts and Crafts, or a Deltana SSP1210 12 inch contemporary pull, suits the opening better. Note the Deltana OHP620 back-to-back set is built for 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch doors, thinner than typical commercial leaves.

For an interior or service door that does not face vandalism exposure, a plain offset bar pull covers it. The ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end door pull handle in a commercial grade surface mount, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid door pull, 1 inch diameter, with heavy duty mounting. The Trimco 1096TL is the heavier answer, built as a vandal resistant heavy duty pull with an astragal and no exposed fasteners.
