Deltana SSPBB3615 36" Extra Large Contemporary Pulls, Back-to-Back

36 inches center to center, with an overall length of 37-7/16 inches. Those two numbers matter for different reasons: the 36 inch spacing is what you drill to, and the 37-7/16 inch overall is what has to physically clear the top rail, bottom rail or any glass stop on the door. Standoff thickness is 1-1/2 inches, which sets the hand clearance off the face of the door.

Two pulls. The unit of measure is a set of two, mounted back to back, one on each face of the door and through-bolted to each other. So a single order handles one door leaf, pull side and push side. A pair of entry doors takes two sets.

The Deltana SSPBB3615 is a stainless steel back-to-back contemporary pull set with a 36 inch center-to-center, 37-7/16 inch overall length, 1-1/2 inch bar thickness, and 3 inch clearance, shipped as a set of two pulls. The straight-bar equivalent from Ives is the 8103HD Heavy Duty Straight Door Pull, a 1 inch round bar with through-bolt mounting, or the 8102HD Heavy Duty Straight Door Pull, a 3/4 inch round bar with 1-1/2 inch clearance. Both Ives pulls are straight round bar rather than the flat 1-1/2 inch contemporary bar Deltana uses, so the visual profile on a glass or aluminum entrance differs even where the mounting approach is the same.

The Deltana SSPBB3615 is a straight contemporary pull set with 3 inch clearance and no offset. When the opening calls for an offset grip, the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware in the ADA compliant EZ series, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull with a 1 inch diameter and heavy duty mounting. ABH also builds offset pulls: the AB3310 offset flat end pull is a surface mount commercial handle, and the AB3330 series offset round end pull is ordered in custom lengths.

Two: Paint Black and Brushed Stainless. Brushed Stainless is the one that matches most commercial storefront and glass entry hardware already in the field; Paint Black is the pick when the frames and rails are dark anodized or painted black. The pull body is stainless steel either way, so the black is a coating over stainless rather than a painted mild steel bar.

Yes, the extra large contemporary stainless pulls are offered as single side or back-to-back kits. The SSPBB3615 is the back-to-back version. Single side is what you want when the opposite face takes a push plate or a panic device touchbar and there is nothing to bolt into on the other side.

A 36 inch pull is an architectural entry pull, meant for tall glass or monumental doors where the handle reads as part of the design and gets grabbed at any height. For an ordinary commercial opening, a conventional offset or straight pull is the normal choice, the Ives 8102HD heavy duty straight pull or the Ives 8169 C style offset pull are standard-length pulls of that kind. If you need an offset pull that is ADA compliant, the Ives 8145EZHD is listed as such.

Commercial. Deltana classes the extra large contemporary pulls as the heavy duty option for larger doors, and the body is solid stainless steel rather than plated zinc or cast brass. For a high-traffic entry in a multi-family lobby, hotel, or office building, that is the construction you want. Decorative cast bronze pulls like the Emtek Art Nouveau 8 inch are a different animal, residential-scale and finish-driven.

The Deltana SSPBB3615 is a stainless steel commercial pull sold as a set of two for back-to-back mounting on a 3 inch door. For a lighter single grip in stainless, the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting, and the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull handle at 1 inch diameter. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a 3-1/2 inch height night latch cylinder pull in stainless steel construction, which is the short pull used at a cylinder rather than a full-length door grip.

Only on a push-side leaf. The Deltana SSPBB3615 is a back-to-back pull set, meaning a full pull grip on both faces of a 3 inch door. Plates cover the opposite condition: the Trimco 1001-1 is a 3 inch by 12 inch heavy duty push plate, the Trimco 1041 is a half-round push plate at 8 inch by 16 inch, and the Trimco 1070 series classic push/pull plates are 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch. Where the door is pulled from both sides, a plate does not give the hand anything to grab; where one side is pull and one side is push, a pull on the pull face with a Trimco plate on the push face is the usual pairing.

The Deltana SSPBB3615 is fixed at a 36 inch center-to-center with a 37-7/16 inch overall length. When the opening needs a different span, the ABH AB3330 series offset round end pull is built with custom length options, so the center-to-center can be set to the door rather than picked from a fixed size. That pull is a round end offset profile, while the Deltana is a straight 1-1/2 inch thick contemporary bar, so the grip shape changes along with the length.

The SSPBB3615 is stainless steel through the body and the standoffs, which is the material specified for exterior entry pulls where brass and plated steel pit. Brushed Stainless is the finish that ages best in that service; the Paint Black option is a coating, so scratches on a coastal or high-abuse door will show the substrate.

On an opening where one leaf gets a pull and the other gets a push, stainless push plates keep the finish consistent. The Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 x 12 inches and the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate at 8 x 16 inches are the heavy duty plates carried alongside these pulls, and the Trimco 1070 Series comes as a matched push/pull plate set at 3-1/2 x 15 inches. Note the SSPBB3615 itself is a back-to-back set, so both faces of that leaf are already covered.

The Deltana SSPBB3615 is a heavy duty stainless steel pull for larger doors, offered in Paint Black and Brushed Stainless. For restroom openings specifically, Trimco builds the 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull as a heavy duty pull in the 1035 series, which is the fixture intended for that door rather than a full 36 inch entrance grip. On a restroom door that is part of a glass entrance run and needs to match the adjacent doors visually, the Deltana pull keeps the same 36 inch contemporary line across the fleet.
