Trimco 7140 fOCAL Straight Pull Plates

Two: 6 inch center-to-center and 8 inch center-to-center. Both spacings are offered either mounted on a 3 x 12 inch plate or with the black style back plates, so you pick the ctc first, then the plate treatment. If you are matching an existing pull hole pattern in a door, the ctc is the number that has to line up.

Projection is 2-1/4 inches. That is the clearance you need to allow between the door face and anything alongside it, a return wall, a sidelite frame, or an adjacent leaf on a pair, and it is enough hand clearance to grip the pull with a closed fist.

The 7140 fOCAL is a pull only. On a push-pull opening you need a matching push plate for the push side, ordered separately. If you would rather buy the pair as one item, Emtek sells push and pull plate sets in the Modern, Knoxville and Petal styles, and Delaney offers matched 3-1/2 x 15 inch and 4 x 16 inch push and pull plates.

No. The 7140 fOCAL tops out at 8 inch ctc; 6 and 8 inch are the only two spacings. For a 10 inch pattern, look at the Ives 8303 heavy duty pull plate, which is offered in 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center mounting.

The Ives 8303 heavy duty pull plate is offered with 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center mounting, so it covers the same 8 inch ctc grip spacing the Trimco 7140 offers alongside its 6 inch ctc option. Both are rated heavy duty. The Trimco 7140 pairs its pull with a 3 inch by 12 inch plate or a black style back plate and comes in stainless steel, bronze or brass; the Ives 8303 is specified by its center-to-center mounting rather than by a back plate style, so confirm plate size against your door if you are matching an existing cutout or paint line.

The Ives 8302 heavy duty pull plate is built for through bolt mounting, which is what most spec writers call for on abused openings such as school and stadium entrances where surface fasteners work loose. It carries the same heavy duty rating as the Trimco 7140 fOCAL straight pull plate. The tradeoff is appearance and finish range: the 7140 is a modern straight pull offered in ten finishes including 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black and 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy silver, plus a black style back plate option, while the 8302 is specified around its through bolt mounting. Through bolting also means matching fasteners on the push side of the door.

No, those are not interchangeable. The Delaney 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch push plate is a flat push plate for the swing side of the door, with no pull to grab. The Trimco 7140 fOCAL is a pull plate: a straight pull with a 2-1/4 inch projection mounted on a 3 inch by 12 inch plate or a black style back plate. If you want the Delaney proportions with a pull, the matching item is the Delaney 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch door pull plate; Delaney also builds both the push and the pull in a 4 inch by 16 inch size. Most commercial openings get a push plate on one face and a pull plate on the other, so you may be ordering both.

If the opening uses a Detex Value Series exit device, Detex builds the P/PN Series pull plate specifically for those devices, and that is the safer choice because it is dimensioned to the device prep. The Trimco 7140 fOCAL straight pull plate is a general commercial pull on a 3 inch by 12 inch plate or black style back plate with 6 inch or 8 inch center-to-center pulls; it is not prepped to any particular exit device, so on a device-prepped door you would need to verify the existing hole pattern before using it.

It is rated heavy duty and specified for commercial use, not residential, with applications running to commercial and industrial buildings, retail and strip malls, hospitality, multifamily and mixed-use, and office buildings. Bodies are stainless steel, bronze, or brass depending on the finish you pick.

Same straight pull, different backing. The 3 x 12 inch plate gives you a single finished plate behind the pull in your chosen finish, which also hides old screw holes or wear on the door face. The black style back plates are a contrast detail, black backing behind the pull so the finish reads against it. Both are offered in 6 and 8 inch ctc and in all ten finishes.

Ten finishes across the whole range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel, and 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver. Those BHMA numbers let you match locksets, closers and exit trim already on the building. 630 satin stainless is the common commercial default.

Mounting method is not something to guess at on a pull that takes daily traffic. If your spec calls out through-bolt mounting specifically, the Ives 8302 heavy duty pull plate is listed with through bolt mounting and is the safer call for that requirement. Trimco publishes a mounting template for the 7140/7141 that you can pull before you drill.

The 7140 fOCAL plate is 3 x 12 inches, which will not hide much beyond the immediate pull area. For a larger footprint, Delaney's pull plates come in 3-1/2 x 15 inch and 4 x 16 inch sizes, either of which covers more of the door face.

The Trimco 7140 fOCAL uses a 3 inch by 12 inch plate or a black style back plate. For a taller plate, Delaney offers a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch door pull plate and a 4 inch by 16 inch door pull plate, either of which covers more of the stile and can hide wear or an old cutout. Note that the 4 inch wide Delaney plate needs more stile width than a 3 inch plate, so measure the flat face of your stile before committing. Delaney matches each of those with a push plate in the same size if you are doing both faces.

The Trimco 7140 fOCAL straight pull plate is listed as ADA compliant, commercial, and heavy duty, with a 2-1/4 inch projection giving hand clearance behind the pull. The Ives 8302 and Ives 8303 are both heavy duty pull plates as well, the 8302 built for through bolt mounting and the 8303 for 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center mounting. All three are straight-pull style hardware operable without tight grasping or twisting; the practical differences for a facility standard come down to mounting method, center-to-center spacing and finish selection rather than duty rating.

On an opening where the pull has to pair with a specific exit device manufacturer's trim, check the device maker's own pull first. Detex, for example, makes the P/PN Series pull plate specifically for its Value Series exit devices. The 7140 is a general-purpose commercial pull and is not tied to any one exit device line.

710CU is Trimco's Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver, a copper-based finish option offered on the 7140 in both ctc sizes and both back plate styles. Healthcare, senior living and food service buyers usually specify it on touch points like pulls and push plates for that reason.
