Emtek 2244 Window Utility Pull, 4"

The 2244 utility pull measures 4 inches in height by 1-1/4 inches in width, and it's solid brass. That footprint is the number that matters when you're laying it out on a sash rail or a narrow stile: you need 4 inches of clear vertical run for the pull and 1-1/4 inches of width without crowding the glazing bead or the frame edge.

Residential. Emtek classifies the 2244 as residential hardware, so for a high-traffic commercial opening (a school corridor, a hospital wing, a hotel back-of-house) it isn't the right specification. Where it does belong in a commercial portfolio is upper-end multi-family units, historic restoration, and executive or hospitality guest interiors where the finish match and the brass body are what's being bought.

It matches on finish code. The 2244 is offered in the same US-code finishes Emtek runs across its knobsets and leversets, so a Satin Nickel (US15) pull sits with US15 levers and an Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) pull with US10B. Styling is Emtek's American Classic theme, which is the traditional side of their range rather than the modern or arts-and-crafts groupings. For a property manager standardizing a building, that's the pairing to specify by: match the US number, then the style family.

No, mounting screws come in the box. The 2244 ships as a complete set with its screws, so it's a one-part order to finish the opening.

Eight finishes, and they line up with Emtek's standard door hardware finish codes so a pull can be matched to knobs and levers in the same room: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7).

US3NL is raw brass with no clear coat, so it darkens and develops a patina from handling. On a window pull, which gets grabbed by hand every time the sash moves, that change shows fast and unevenly. If a client wants the brass to stay bright with no upkeep, order Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) instead. If they want the aged look, unlacquered gets there on its own.

Yes. It's a utility pull, which means the body is a plain surface-mounted brass grip with no window-specific mechanism, no cam, no latch, nothing that ties it to a sash. At 4 by 1-1/4 inches it works as a small door pull, a cabinet or pantry pull, a bin pull on a built-in, or a grip on a pocket or screen door. The only real constraint is that the screws supplied are sized for the substrate Emtek packed them for, so a very thick or very thin panel may want fasteners of your own length.

Solid brass. Both the material and the substrate on the 2244 are brass, not a plated zinc or steel core, which is why the unlacquered version can patina naturally and why polished finishes can be brought back with a polish rather than stripping to bare metal.
