Emtek 2216 Classic Rectangular Brass Flush Pulls (2-1/2" x 7-1/2")

The 2216 rectangular flush pull measures 2-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches overall, so the mortise pocket is routed to accept that footprint with the trim edge covering the cut. Projection is 1/8 inch, meaning the pull stands only that far off the door face and clears the jamb when the door slides fully into the pocket. Cut the recess deep enough that the flange sits tight to the face, not proud of it.

Use a flush cup pull like the Emtek 2216 wherever the door has to disappear into a wall pocket or pass a jamb. At 1/8 inch projection it recesses into the face and nothing catches on the way by. A surface ring pull, such as the Baldwin 0397 SOL flush cup handle and solid spindle ring pull from the Estate series, gives you something to grip and pull with real leverage, which suits a heavier slab or a door that only slides in front of the wall rather than into it. On a true pocket door the ring has to fold flat or it will not clear.

No. The 2216 Classic flush pull is a residential product, so it belongs on interior pocket and sliding doors in a house, apartment unit, or a light hospitality application. For a school corridor, a hospital, or any opening cycling all day, specify hardware carrying a commercial duty rating instead. The body is solid brass, which holds up fine to household use and takes the plated finishes cleanly.

It does not. The 2216 is a flush cup pull only, a pulling surface mortised into the door face with no latching or locking mechanism and no electronics. If the pocket door serves a bathroom or bedroom and needs privacy, order a separate pocket door privacy lock and plan the door prep for both, since the lock takes its own mortise in the lead edge or the face.

Five finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Those are the standard BHMA finish codes, so matching a knob or lever already on the job is a matter of matching the code, not the marketing name. If the rest of the doors are US15 satin nickel, order the US15 pull and the tone will read the same.

Both are brass, and the difference is the coating. US3 Polished Brass Lifetime carries a protective clear coating that holds the bright polish, so the pull looks the same in year five as on install day. US3NL is unlacquered brass with no topcoat, which means it darkens and patinas with handling. On a pocket door pull that gets touched every time the door moves, the unlacquered version will show a wear pattern around the cup fast. Pick US3NL if you want that aged look, US3 if you are matching a set of bright brass hardware that has to stay uniform.
