Emtek 220408 Rustic Modern Rectangular Sandcast Bronze Flush Pulls (2" x 8")

Projection on the 220408 rectangular flush pull is 1/8 inch, so the cup body sits nearly level with the door face and the pull recesses into a mortised pocket. That is what lets a pocket or bypass door run all the way into the wall cavity without the hardware fouling the jamb or the adjacent panel. Plan the mortise for the 2 x 8 inch face size.

The 220408 is the 2 x 8 inch size in Emtek's Rustic Modern Rectangular flush pull, with a 1/8 inch projection at the face. Rout the pocket to the pull body and let the 1/8 inch flange sit proud on the door face. Emtek builds this rectangular flush pull in heights from 4 to 10 inches with a common 2 inch width, so if 8 inches is too long for your stile, a shorter height in the same 2 inch width keeps the same look.

Emtek classifies the Rustic Modern Rectangular sandcast bronze flush pull as residential hardware. It suits single-family, custom residential, and high-end multi-family interiors. For a commercial opening where you need a graded, cycle-tested pull, this is not the part to spec.

Pull only. The 220408 is a flush cup pull, a recessed finger cup with no latching mechanism and no electronics in it. If the pocket door needs to latch or privacy lock, you order a pocket door lock separately and mortise it into the lock edge; the flush pull goes on the face for pulling the door out of the pocket. Emtek makes a Modern Rectangular pocket door lock in passage function that carries the same rectangular styling.

Solid sandcast bronze. Material and substrate are both bronze, cast rather than stamped, which is why the surface carries the texture and slight variation of the Sandcast Bronze line. Nothing about the finish is a plated coating over a different base metal, so wear at the fingertip contact point does not expose a foreign substrate.

Count both faces. A flush cup pull is recessed into one side of the door, so a single pocket door that gets pulled from both rooms takes two, one mortised into each face. A bypass door that is only ever operated from one side takes one. For a pair of pocket doors meeting in the middle, that is four if both sides are used. The 220408 is the 2 x 8 inch rectangular size.

Two different grips. The 220408 is a fixed rectangular cup, 2 x 8 inches, recessed into the door face with only 1/8 inch of projection, so you hook fingers into the cup and slide. A ring pull, like the Baldwin 0397 SOL Estate flush cup handle with solid spindle ring, adds a swinging ring that folds down into the cup, which gives you a full-hand grip for a heavy door but leaves a moving part to rattle. Choose the plain cup for a clean face and light-to-normal pocket doors, the ring style when the door is heavy enough that fingertips alone are a struggle.

Yes, and it is often the better choice on a barn door for the same reason it works in a pocket: at 1/8 inch projection the pull will not catch on the wall or on a door guide as the panel travels. On a barn door you would typically pair the flush pull on the wall-facing side or the leading edge with a surface-mounted pull on the room side. The 2 x 8 inch rectangular face works on a standard barn door stile.

They are sandcast bronze finishes, not plated, so they are living finishes that darken and mellow with handling. Medium Bronze (MB) and Flat Black Bronze (FB) sit at the darker end, Tumbled White Bronze (TWB) at the lighter. If you are matching pulls added later to ones already installed, expect the new ones to start lighter and catch up. All three are Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so a whole-house order stays consistent.
