Deltana MH12 Modern Hook, 2-1/4" Projection

The MH12 projects 2-1/4 inches off the mounting surface and stands 3-5/8 inches tall. That projection is enough for a coat on a hanger-free hook or a heavy work jacket, and it is the number to check against a door back or a narrow hallway where a deeper hook would catch a shoulder or a swinging door.

Deltana lists the MH12 as a residential hook. For apartments, condos, single-family, and hospitality guest rooms it is the right class of product. For a school corridor, a locker room, or a public restroom where a hook gets abused and vandalized, look instead at a commercial coat and hat hook such as the Trimco 3070-1, which is built for that kind of institutional duty.

The MH12 is a single modern hook with a 2-1/4 inch projection. For two hanging points at one mounting location, the Emtek 2306 sandcast bronze double hook, the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely double robe hook and the Orca Hardware 4954 Whidbey double robe hook are all double hooks. The Emtek 2306 is from the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware series, the 4854 is 48-Blakely Series and the 4954 is 49-Whidbey Series, so pick on the styling that matches the rest of the room.

The Emtek 2606 solid brass robe hook is the nearest peer in material and format - it is a single-point brass hook like the MH12, which is solid brass with a 2-1/4 inch projection. The MH12 comes in nine finishes including oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, brushed brass and antique brass, so a finish match to existing brass trim is usually straightforward. The Emtek 2606 is part of the Traditional Bath Hardware series, so its styling reads traditional where the MH12 is a modern profile.

The MH12 is designated residential and is a solid brass decorative hook. For a commercial corridor, locker room or institutional coat area, the Trimco 3070-1 coat and hat hook is the peer built for that duty - it is a commercial coat and hat hook from the 3070 Series. Trimco also offers the 7010 fOCAL robe hook and stop, which combines the hook with a door stop function in one wall-mounted piece, useful where a door swings into the same wall you are hooking.

Solid brass throughout, not plated zinc or steel. Brass does not rust, so it holds up behind a bathroom door or in a damp mudroom better than a steel hook. Note the plated finishes (chrome, nickel, black) are a coating over that brass body, so the base metal is still brass if the plating ever wears at a contact point.

Nine finishes: oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, brushed brass, and antique brass. That spread means you can match the MH12 to most Deltana door and bath trim already in a unit, which is the usual reason a property manager buys hooks by the box rather than one at a time.

No. The MH12 is a wall or door mounted hook only, with no bumper or stop function. If you need one piece that does both, the Trimco 7010 fOCAL is a robe hook and stop in a single unit.

Two single-hook peers carry more ornament than the MH12's modern profile. The Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress robe hook is from the 27-Cypress Series and the Orca Hardware 3654 Swirl robe hook is from the 36-Swirl Series. Both are single robe hooks like the MH12, so the mounting concept is the same - the difference is the styling of the body.

The Emtek 25050 wrought steel robe hook is the steel-bodied peer to the MH12, which is solid brass. It belongs to the Wrought Steel Bath Hardware series, so the look is forged rather than the machined modern profile of the MH12. Choose on the substrate you want to specify - brass on the MH12, wrought steel on the 25050.

They are not interchangeable in form. The MH12 is a single modern hook, while the Emtek 2266 SELECT knurled tip double hook mounts on a rosette and gives two hanging tips - a different backplate footprint and a different visual weight on the wall. The 2266 is from the Select Bath Hardware series. If you are replacing an MH12 and want the same single-point look, stay with a single hook rather than the 2266.

Each. One hook per unit, and the price shown is per hook. If you're outfitting a run of units and need four hooks per bathroom, order the count you need rather than expecting a boxed set.
