Sugatsune FH-100 Series 3-15/16" (100 mm) Long Polished Nickel Recessed Pull, - FH-100AM-00

FH-100AM-00 Recessed Pull For Clean Lever Access

FH-100AM-00 recessed pull from Sugatsune America is a 3-15/16 inch (100 mm) long polished nickel recessed pull designed around a lever that sits inside the housing, so the handle stays flush while still giving a positive grip where installed. The polished nickel finish provides a bright, metal surface that suits decorative hardware applications where appearance matters along with function. The recessed design keeps the lever contained in the pull body, which helps avoid snag points in tight spaces on cabinetry or furniture faces. As a member of the Sugatsune FH-100 series, this pull aligns with other FH-100 options for projects that standardize on one lever style across multiple locations. The combination of a defined length and recessed lever design supports layouts that call for repeatable cutouts and consistent visual lines across doors or panels.

Functional Details That Support Everyday Use

• FH-100AM-00 has a detent that holds the lever open or closed, so the handle stays in the selected position until it is moved again, which helps keep doors either firmly shut or reliably held open during regular use.
• The FH-100BM-00 model in the same series has a spring to return the lever to the closed position, so that option is geared toward applications where the lever needs to fall back to closed by itself after being released.
• Both FH-100AM-00 and FH-100BM-00 have a rubber bumper inside that reduces noise when closing, which helps cut metal-on-metal impact and gives a quieter, more controlled stop when the lever or door is brought closed.
• FH-100AM-00 is 3-15/16 inches (100 mm) long, giving a defined pull length that simplifies planning of recess dimensions, spacing on the face, and alignment with other hardware on the same run.

Recessed Pull Setup And Lever Position Control

The FH-100AM-00 recessed pull installs so the pull body sits within a recess, with the 100 mm length guiding the size and orientation of the cutout needed in the mounting surface. Because this pull is recessed, the face of the hardware sits down into the material, which supports flat surfaces around the opening and helps avoid projection into walkways or storage spaces. The internal detent that holds the lever open or closed means the lever does not drift between positions, which supports consistent door behavior after the pull is fitted. The combination of a set length, recessed configuration, and lever detent gives installers a predictable layout that can be repeated across multiple doors or panels on the same job.

Using FH-100 Series Pulls In Real Projects

Where FH-100 Recessed Pulls Are Typically Applied

The FH-100 series recessed pulls from Sugatsune America, including the FH-100AM-00 polished nickel version, serve decorative hardware and molding applications where a built-in lever pull is preferred over a surface-mount handle. The 3-15/16 inch (100 mm) length suits cabinet and casework layouts that call for a compact recessed pull rather than a long bar. With the lever sitting inside the recessed body, these pulls work well on doors or panels where keeping the handle within the thickness of the material reduces interference with adjacent components or traffic paths. Because FH-100AM-00 and FH-100BM-00 share the same series and general form, they support installations that use a mix of detent-style and spring-return levers while maintaining a consistent overall look and pull location across a run of cabinets or fixtures.

Why FH-100 Detent And Spring Versions Matter

Within the FH-100 series, FH-100AM-00 has a detent that holds the lever open or closed, which matters when a project calls for a lever that stays exactly where the user leaves it, such as holding a door open without drift. In contrast, FH-100BM-00 has a spring that returns the lever to the closed position, which supports layouts that rely on the lever automatically settling back to closed after operation. Both versions have a rubber bumper inside to reduce noise when closing, helping to tame closing impact in environments where repeated lever or door movement could otherwise create constant noise. The polished nickel finish on FH-100AM-00 adds a bright, decorative surface that aligns with other polished nickel hardware, which helps keep a coordinated appearance when this recessed pull is paired with matching hinges or other pulls on the same installation.
