Please find this product at http://absupply.net/ This video is to bring you a closer look at
the Trimco 1115C Flush Pull. This 1115 is shown to you in stainless steel, all stainless
steel. Here's a magnet, there's nothing steel based about it. And the first impression of
Trimco, this item is a perfect example is fantastic fit and finish. When the item is
presented to you and you remove it from the package it looks too good to install quite
frankly. And that is a Hallmark of Trimco's material is the bottom line. So this is a
flush pull, something that's going to be mortised to the face of a door is going to be used
primarily in sliding sorts of applications but also in swinging sorts of applications
as well. There is a link below this video to what is called the cut sheet which shows
everything important dimensionally about the item and we will go over that again in a moment.
This item is available in several different finishes, this is stainless steel. Brass,
bronze, base material with architectural finishes. Screws are included for some reason this one
has three, you should only have two screws and those are going to be for installing in
the top here or however you are installing it. There are two screw holes, one here and
one here as you can see. Of course it is not handed it can be turned over either way. This
is not an ADA compliant item so if you have an opening that requires ADA compliance, this
would not be appropriate for an application requiring that. Very commonly used in bypassing
doors or swinging closet doors in both commercial and residential applications. Let's take a
look at the template. You can see from the template. I'm going to pause the video so
that I can get my tape measure. Ok now, so you can see from the cut sheet that the width
of the item is 3-1/2" overall width and then 4-3/4" tall. You can see that there is an
overall projection or depth, or pardon me an overall depth of 31/32" or just basically
an inch. .94 they've got it at, it coming in at yeah whatever its 1". What they are
saying at the bottom of the template is a gap of 1/16" per side is recommended for installation,
so that means that the size of the cup back here add an 1/8" in the width and the height
is what they are saying. So the template says that this is 2-9/16" approximately, and that
their template calls that at 3 and almost 9/16" 2-9/16" x 3-9/16th. Add about 1/8" to
that and that's going to be your installation. So 2-11/16", 3-11/16" framed in area. Probably
have to expect to square part of the corner out to get that to fit in really nice. But
don't make it excessively large, you do want to have the screws which appear to be about
a #6 x 3/4". These are undercut flathead sheet metal screws let that get into the wood as
best as possible. Machining for this is a walk in the park, it's straight forward. Assuming
that you are going to probably use a router if you are going to do that by hand that wouldn't
be so easy but um, I've installed for these, pardon me I've machined for these countless
times and it is really simple. Before we talk about how you are going to machine it determining
the height of where you are going to install this the vertical height top of the door and
the centerline or however you are going to go about doing it and of course your backset
from the edge of the door to the center of the prep. You probably gonna want to take
inventory of the other doors that are in the space and mimic the center line of this because
you don't want to have say a hallway of doors and you've got a couple of closets or whatever
the case may be you don't want all of your locks to look the same height and then have
some odd situation for the closet door or the swinging door whatever this might go on
so be compatible with the mounting height. Now, the installation of this what I would
do quite frankly is I would take a rectangular piece of wood, cut my preparation out to fit
this rectangle I would add for the cullet of the router bit, I would use a plunge router
and cut the template such that all I had to do was flush it to the edge of the door to
give me the desired backset which is the edge of the door to say the center line of the
prep. I would probably also indicate somewhere on the template a line so that when I hooked
my template to the top of the door and drew my centerline I would just margin the line
made on the template to the line on the edge of the door, I would clamp it down and I would
use my plunge router and would go through it like that. Great professional results,
obviously if you have tools beyond a plunge router then you don't need me to tell you
how to do it if you are running a C&C router. If you are doing it by hand, that's tedious,
but I suppose if you are doing one you could probably get by with it but if it was a lumber
corridor or anything that you couldn't easily chip out with a large chisel, a router is
how you are going to want to do this. Back to the extended description, there's not a
lot to this other than the description, the size and the finishes that this is available
in. And that is really how Trimco is, straight forward extremely good quality material. You
can see that the box is welded to the faceplate. And this stuff Trimco just continues to amaze
every time I review their material. Their lead times can be a bit on the long side,
but their product is always well worth the wait. They are a full line manufacturer of
all things trim and auxiliary related. Not only things somewhat common like flush pulls,
but of course, kick plates, push plates, pull plates, door stops, some unique solutions,
push and pull latches that you are going to see on hospital doors and an entire line of
architectural designed push and pull bars. Fantastic quality, very nice people and it's
a pleasure to be a distributor for Trimco. If you have any questions on the Trimco 1115C
