Emtek 220310 Modern Rectangular Brass Flush Pulls (2" x 10")

The 220310 Modern Rectangular is a flush cup pull, meaning it mortises into the face of the door and sits nearly level with it. Projection is 1/8 inch, so nothing sticks out far enough to hit the jamb or the wall pocket. That is what makes it right for a pocket door, which has to disappear into the wall, and it works equally on a bypass or a barn door slab where a protruding handle would foul the wall. If the door swings on hinges rather than slides, you want a regular pull or knob instead; a cup this shallow gives you very little to grip on a door that has to be pulled open against a latch.

The 220310 measures 2 x 10 inches on the face, with a 1/8 inch projection. The 1/8 inch is the thickness of the plate standing proud of the door face, so your mortise has to take the cup body plus that plate. Rout the 2 x 10 outline for the trim plate and pocket the cup behind it. On a standard 1-3/4 inch door there is plenty of stile depth for a pull this shallow; on a thin 1-3/8 inch slab it also clears, and on a hollow-core slider check that you are landing in solid stile material and not just the skin.

Pull only. The 220310 is a flush cup with no latch, no lock, and no privacy function, and it is not electronic. If you need the pocket door to latch shut or give privacy on a bathroom or bedroom, you need a pocket door lock in addition to, or instead of, this. Emtek makes a Modern Rectangular pocket door lock in the same design family, so you can carry the rectangular styling across both parts.

No, they are different pulls for different openings. The Emtek 220310 is a rectangular brass flush cup pull measuring 2" x 10" with a 1/8" projection, so it sits nearly flush in the door face and is mortised into a simple rectangular pocket. The Baldwin 0397 SOL from the Estate series is a flush cup handle paired with a solid spindle ring pull, which adds a pivoting ring that swings out of the cup to be grasped. If the door must pass a jamb or pocket with nothing standing proud of the face, the 220310's 1/8" projection is the one to specify; if the door is heavy enough that a finger cup alone is hard to pull, the 0397 SOL's ring gives something to hook.

The Emtek 220310 is the one to use. It is a solid brass flush cup pull with a 1/8" projection, rated residential, and its 2" x 10" rectangular footprint gives a long finger cup on a tall pocket door without anything standing off the face to catch the jamb when the door recedes into the pocket. The Baldwin 0397 SOL pairs its cup with a solid spindle ring pull, and a ring that pivots up out of the cup is the detail to check on a pocket application. Emtek also publishes a Modern Rectangular pocket door lock in the same series if the opening needs a latch alongside the pull.

Solid brass, both material and substrate. That matters on the unlacquered brass version (US3NL), which has no clear coat and will patina with handling; the finish darkens over time and there is base metal underneath that keeps taking it. On plated finishes like polished chrome or flat black, the brass is the substrate under the plating. Brass also lets you file or dress the edge of the mortise fit without exposing a different metal.

Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). The US codes are the standard BHMA finish designations, so if the levers and hinges already on the openings are specified US15 or US10B, ordering the same code here gets you a match within Emtek's line. Two of them behave differently over time: US3NL is unlacquered and will patina, and the Lifetime finishes (US14, US3) are coated to hold their appearance.

Emtek specifies the 220310 as residential hardware. For single-family, condo, and multi-family unit interiors it is the intended application, and property managers running a unit refresh can standardize on one finish code across pocket and bypass doors. For a commercial corridor or an institutional opening where you need a graded, cycle-tested pull, this is not the part to spec.

Count the faces you have to grip, not the doors. A single pocket door that slides into the wall usually takes two 220310 pulls, one each side of the slab, and if the door closes into a jamb you will typically want an edge pull too so you can get the door back out of the pocket. A pair of bypass doors takes one per exposed face. Order the same finish code across all of them so the US number matches.

A rectangular flush cup like the 220310 gives you a 10 inch long grip opening, so a hand lands anywhere along it and you can pull with several fingers, which suits a heavy slab and a contemporary interior. A ring pull, such as the Baldwin 0397 SOL Estate flush cup handle with solid spindle ring, folds a ring out of the cup and reads traditional; the ring gives a stronger single-hand grab for dragging a stiff door out of a pocket, but it does not sit truly flat when deployed. Pick on style and on how much force the door takes to move.

The Emtek 220310 is a contemporary rectangular pull in solid brass, offered in ten finishes including Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), so it reads clean and squared-off against modern slab and pocket doors. The Baldwin 0397 SOL belongs to the Estate series and carries a ring pull on a solid spindle, a form that suits traditional and period millwork. On a job mixing both, the finish family is usually what decides it, since the 220310 covers both warm brass tones and cool nickel and chrome tones under one part number.

Emtek's rectangular flush pulls run 4 to 10 inches tall in a 2 inch width. The 220310 is the 10 inch one, the longest of that range, at 2 x 10 inches. Order it where you want a tall vertical pull on a full-height slider or a strong contemporary line on the face of the door; a shorter model in the same width is the one to look at for a small closet bypass or a cabinet-scale door where 10 inches would overwhelm the panel.
