Edge Pulls

Edge Pulls

Edge pulls are a specialised category of architectural hardware designed to provide seamless, minimalist functionality for sliding and pocket doors. Installed flush within the edge of the door, these discrete fittings offer a clean aesthetic without compromising on usability or performance. At John Barnes Group, we offer a premium selection of edge pulls from leading brands including Designer Doorware, Dormakaba, Scope, and Zanda, suitable for residential, commercial, and institutional applications.

Whether you're specifying hardware for a high-end architectural project or selecting components for a residential renovation, edge pulls offer a sophisticated solution where traditional door handles may not be appropriate. Our range caters to various door types, including timber, aluminium, and glass sliding doors, and includes fire-rated and DDA-compliant options to suit diverse project requirements. Buy Edge Pulls online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Product Types and Variations

Edge pulls are primarily designed for sliding and pocket doors, and their profiles are typically narrow and recessed to maintain the flush finish. The category includes:

• Buy Fixed Edge Pulls: These are non-retractable, simple recessed designs that allow fingers to grasp the door edge to slide it open or closed.

• Buy Retractable Edge Pulls: These feature a spring-loaded mechanism that allows the pull to be pushed in and released for use, then pushed back to sit flush when not in use.

• Buy Fire-Rated Edge Pulls: Designed to meet AS1905 and relevant fire safety standards, these edge pulls are manufactured from heat-resistant materials and are suited for use on fire doors.

• Buy DDA-Compliant Edge Pulls: Designed in accordance with AS1428.1, these models meet the requirements for accessible design in commercial and public buildings.

Each type is available in a range of finishes including satin chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, and PVD options, to coordinate with broader architectural themes.

Materials and Finishes

High-quality edge pulls are made from durable materials such as brass, stainless steel, and zinc alloy. The material choice not only impacts aesthetics but also influences resistance to corrosion, wear, and fire. Our range includes:

• Buy Solid Brass Edge Pulls: Popular in luxury residential and boutique commercial projects, brass provides a tactile, robust finish.

• Buy Stainless Steel Edge Pulls: Known for their strength and corrosion resistance, stainless steel models are ideal for high-traffic or coastal environments.

• Buy Zinc Alloy Edge Pulls: These cost-effective options offer design flexibility and come in a wide variety of finishes.

Finishing techniques such as PVD coating extend durability while offering colour consistency across the project. Finishes like matte black and antique brass are popular in contemporary and heritage designs respectively.

Applications and Use Cases

Edge pulls are essential in spaces where minimalism is key or where a traditional handle would interfere with the door's operation. Common applications include:

• Residential Interiors: Pocket doors between living and dining spaces, walk-in wardrobes, or ensuites benefit from the discreet appeal of edge pulls.

• Commercial Fitouts: Boardrooms, meeting rooms, and offices often utilise sliding or cavity sliding doors fitted with edge pulls for space-saving access.

• Hospitality & Retail: Bars, restaurants, and retail stores opt for flush pull solutions to maintain clean lines and customer flow.

• Aged Care & Accessible Facilities: DDA-compliant options ensure that accessibility is maintained without sacrificing design integrity.

Standards and Compliance

When specifying hardware for regulated environments, it's essential that products comply with applicable standards. John Barnes Group provides edge pulls that conform to:

• AS1428.1 – Design for Access and Mobility

• AS1905.1 – Fire-Resistant Door Sets

We recommend confirming project specifications to ensure appropriate compliance, particularly in commercial and public access buildings. Our experienced team can assist with product selection to meet these standards.

Choosing Edge Pulls: Residential vs Commercial

When choosing edge pulls for a project, consider the operational environment:

• Residential Projects: Aesthetic preferences and ease of use take priority. Solid brass and designer finishes add luxury appeal, while retractable edge pulls improve day-to-day functionality.

• Commercial Projects: Compliance, durability, and performance are key. Fire-rated and DDA-compliant models are typically required, and stainless steel options offer longevity under frequent use.

Think about the overall door function, user interaction, and ongoing maintenance needs when selecting the appropriate edge pull solution.
