Door pulls
Queries
Always specify the door type and material
in your query. Accurately dimensioned
drawings are required for both quoting
and manufacturing purposes. For door
handing, see page 75.
Door pulls: in pairs or singles?
We show door pulls in pairs to facilitate
an understanding of their technology and
design. This allows the reverse face and
geometric configuration to be seen. Naturally
we also supply door pulls as single
items.
Installation
Door pulls can be either face or throughfixed
to doors made of the most diverse
materials.
In the case of through-fixing, either a pair
of door pulls or a single handle can be fitted.
FSB provides straightforward illustrations
of these three fixing options – backto-back,
bolt through-fixing and face fixing
with threaded insert – below.
As regards the issue of face fixing versus
bolt through-fixing, FSB uses the threadedinsert
technique because it results in face
fixing that, thanks to the FSB fixing system,
is generally both aesthetically pleasing
and sufficiently durable. Nevertheless,
there is a caveat where heavy-duty applications
are concerned (e.g. in schools,
administrative buildings and other public
establishments): in this case we emphatically
recommend bolt through-fixing,
which ensures that the door pull remains
fit for purpose even after years of heavy
treatment, since the forces involved are
absorbed on both sides of the door.
Safety clearance (S)
When fitting a door pull to the closing
face of a door, a safety clearance must be
provided between the grip section and the
edge of the door or the jamb. The diagram
below illustrates the positioning. Ideally,
the safety clearances as recommended by
FSB should be adhered to. On-site conditions
will determine the most appropriate
course of action, however.
