Avery,

I do this type thing. Except I use two brass pull door handles instead.

I mount each one equidistant from the middle of the keyframe and its 
ends. The thumbs of your hands can then act as a leverage tool 
against the front of the keybed to start bringing the action out for 
each pull.

Very controllable, and after a hundred pulls or so, what a blessing.

The temporary handles are removed after the job is finished.
