Please find this product at http://absupply.net/ This video is to bring you a closer look at
the Trimco 1063 Edge pull, call it a concealed door pull center. I know it as an edge pull.
You're going to see this installed in residential pocket doors, commercial pocket doors I suppose
as well. It is mortised into the edge of the door and when a door is tucked into its pocket,
you can put your finger in that little recessed area there pull it out, and grab the handle,
and pull your door out. Now people who are in the business of making a living doing construction,
residential construction that involves doors and hardware, there is definitely a preference
for the Trimco 1063 compared to other manufacturers and products. I've been selling Trimco for
a very long time and as I study their products, which I do every week, the fit and finish
is just always exceptional. Trimco is just always really good stuff, is the bottom line.
Just looking at the spring assembly back here with the rivet pin and the rest of the housing
that goes onto the brass front portion, yes definitely brass here. Steel plate that the
spring is attached to of course is not, but the rest of it is brass. By the way, this
is a 626 Satin Chrome finish. Studying their fit and finish is always just; its remarkable
for hardware is the bottom line. Trimco takes pride in what they do and it shows in their
work. So below this video is a link to whats called a cut sheet and it shows everything
important dimensionally about this edge pull. Lets go over it now. You can see that this
is per the cut sheet 3/4 wide, looks like it's a bit heavy on 3/4. 3.88, so its 3-7/8,
get the tape measure tucked down in here, yes 3-7/8 I would say.
Overall projection is basically 1-5/8. On the cut sheet, they don't really give information
regarding machining, but I've machined for these several times and basically you will
always have two preparations. You've got what's called the body, or what we call the body
and the plate. The body is always the deep mortise or whatever mortise you have to do
inside of the door, and then you've got the plate mortise which is really just the exposed
part of the unit that you see. So if I was going to be mortising for this, I would want
to make my body preparation basically just enough for this to fit into, this silver steel
part, down to here above the screw hole. The width necessary, probably the 3/4 inch width,
less whatever, I put a caliber on this part, the widest part to determine what my preparation
is. And then my depth, I would just make it a box from basically here, here, and down
is what I would do. You don't have to do it that way, you could make that box smaller
and route out for this recessed area here, the finger pull but two preparations is generally
how I like to do it. Then of course your plate preparation would only be the thickest of
the material which they are calling out at .08, just heavy on a 1/16 of an inch, closer
to 3/32nds, but if you are doing all this with a router you are going to want to measure
all that stuff and lay out your router preparation with the proper bits. That's how I would go
about doing it. Obviously guys are going to say, no I will just do it by hand, sure that
works to. I'm just a fan of routers, I think the fit and finish of doing work with a router
is something that cannot be contested. A couple of screws are included, they look like they
are a #6, yes a #6 x 3/4 I'm looking at it. An undercut flathead screw in a complementary
finish. Speaking of finishes this edge pull is available in several different finishes
from Trimco and again like I've said, I've had people request these saying I want the
Trimco. I say that I have another brand because the Trimco sometimes the lead time on the
Trimco is a bit longer then you like. They say nope, I'll wait for the Trimco and I agree,
the lead time is always well worth the wait. Good quality company, very good quality people
and they are very willing to bend over backwards every single time that they can. If you have
