Delaney 4" x 16" Door Pull Plate

For heavy institutional traffic, look at the plates we carry that are specifically rated heavy duty: the Ives 8302, which mounts through-bolted, or the Trimco 1010, 1012, and 1013 cast plates. Through bolting is what holds up on a door being pulled hundreds of times a day, since screws into a hollow metal door face will eventually work loose. The Delaney 4 x 16 is a good fit for offices, multi-family common doors, and light commercial openings.

When the grip spacing has to match existing openings, choose a plate that publishes its center-to-center. Ives 8303 comes in 8 inch or 10 inch CTC, Trimco 1010 is 5 inch CTC, Trimco 1012 and 1013 are 5-1/2 inch CTC, and Trimco 1014 is 6 inch CTC. Measure the existing pull hole to hole, then order the plate whose CTC matches so you reuse the same mounting prep.

For high traffic openings, the Ives 8302 pull plate is rated heavy duty and mounts with through bolts, which carries pull loads back through the door rather than into surface screws. The Ives 8303 is also a heavy duty pull plate and is offered with 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center pull mounting. The Delaney 4 inch by 16 inch pull plate is built with a stainless steel base metal for the 630 satin stainless finish and a solid brass base metal for the 613 oil rubbed bronze finish.

If the drawing calls out a pull center-to-center, the Trimco cast pull plates state it: the Trimco 1010 Series cast pull plate has a 5 inch CTC, the Trimco 1012 cast tapered heavy duty plate and the Trimco 1013 round heavy duty plate each have a 5.5 inch CTC pull, and the Trimco 1014 Series half-round plate has a 6 inch CTC pull. The Delaney plate is specified by its 4 inch by 16 inch plate dimension.

Solid brass. Delaney uses a solid brass base metal for the US10B oil rubbed bronze finish, and stainless steel for the US32D satin stainless. Worth knowing for exterior or high-touch openings: oil rubbed bronze is a living finish and will wear through to the brass underneath at the grip area over time, which some buyers want and some do not.

The Delaney 4 x 16 is sold as a pull plate, not a push/pull pair. If you want a matched push and pull set from one family, Emtek offers push and pull plates together in the Modern, Knoxville, and Petal lines. Pairing the Delaney pull with a separate push plate works too, as long as you match the finish designation (630 satin stainless or 613 oil rubbed bronze).

A pull plate is a common outside trim for a rim exit device on an exit-only or dogging setup, since it gives a grip with no latch retraction. If the device is a Detex Value Series, use the Detex P/PN Series pull plate made for it rather than a generic plate, because it is built for that device's trim prep. On other exit devices, confirm the plate will not conflict with the device's mounting holes or an outside cylinder location before drilling.

Where the look drives the selection, Emtek offers push and pull plates in the Knoxville and Modern series, plus a lost wax cast bronze Petal series. Those are styled families rather than plain rectangular plates. The Delaney 4 inch by 16 inch pull plate is a rectangular plate in stainless steel for satin stainless and solid brass for oil rubbed bronze.

No. The Delaney 4 inch by 16 inch part is a pull plate, meaning the plate carries a pull handle for the side of the door you open toward you; a push plate is a flat plate with no handle for the swing side. Families such as the Emtek Knoxville and Emtek Modern series include both push and pull plates, so the two are ordered as separate parts even within one style.

Satin stainless (630) is the more predictable choice outdoors, since stainless steel is the base metal and the finish does not rely on a coating that wears at the grip. The 613 oil rubbed bronze is solid brass with a darkened finish that will lighten and patina where hands touch it. Both are legitimate for exterior use; the difference is whether you want a consistent look or an aging one.
