Emtek 2606 Solid Brass Robe Hook

Projection on the 2606 is 2-5/8 inches, with a 1-3/4 inch base height. That's the number that matters in a tight bath or behind a swinging door: at 2-5/8 inches out it will hold a folded towel or a robe, and you want it clear of the door leaf's arc before you drill.

It ships as a complete set with screws included. It's a surface mount hook, so it fastens to the finished wall face rather than requiring any rough-in or backing prep. On drywall without a stud or blocking behind it, you'll want your own wall anchors, since what's in the box is the screws.

The 2606 is a residential-grade hook out of Emtek's Traditional Bath Hardware line, meant for baths, bedrooms, and mudrooms in homes and apartment interiors. For a public restroom stall or an institutional corridor where the hook takes abuse and needs to meet a facility spec, look at the Trimco 3070-1 Coat and Hat Hook, which is a commercial coat and hat hook.

It will if you order the same US finish code. The 2606 comes in US3, US3NL, US4, US7, US10B, US14, US15, US15A, US19, and US26, which is the same finish coding Emtek uses across its knobsets and leversets, so a US15 hook is specified to the same satin nickel as a US15 lever. For a property manager standardizing a whole building, buy by the code off the existing hardware, not off a photo.

Step up to a double robe hook. The Deltana 55D2010 Double Robe Hook in the 55D Series and the Deltana 88DRH Double Robe Hook in the 88 Series are both solid brass doubles. Deltana's BBS2010 Double Robe Hook in the BBS Series is a third. On the Orca Hardware side, the 4854 Blakely Double Robe Hook and the 4954 Whidbey Double Robe Hook are doubles as well. The Emtek 2606 is a single hook with a 2-5/8 inch projection, so it carries one garment per location - a double gives you two hanging points off a single set of screw holes, which matters in a guest bath or a unit turnover where wall real estate behind the door is limited.

The Deltana BBN2009 Single Robe Hook in the BBN Series is the closest straight equivalent - a single robe hook like the Emtek 2606, which is solid brass with a 1-3/4 inch base height, 2-5/8 inch projection, and surface mount installation with screws included. Orca Hardware's 2753 Cypress Robe Hook is another single-hook option, in the 27-Cypress Series. All three hang one robe or towel per mounting point, so if the bathroom or closet elevation calls for one hook per stud location, any of them fills that slot.

For commercial work, look at the Trimco line. The Trimco 3070-1 Coat and Hat Hook in the 3070 Series and the Trimco 7010 fOCAL Robe Hook and Stop in the 7010 Series are the commercial-side hooks in the comparable set. The Emtek 2606 is a residential-rated solid brass robe hook in the Traditional Bath Hardware series, styled American Classic - it is built for a homeowner bath, a model unit, or an executive washroom, not for a high-traffic public restroom. If your spec sheet is calling out institutional restroom accessories, the Trimco hooks are the ones written for that scope.

Yes, and that's the point of ordering it. The 2606 in Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is solid brass with no protective coating, so it darkens and patinas with handling and bathroom humidity. If you want the brass look to stay bright and uniform across a building's units, order Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) instead, which is the coated finish.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate are brass rather than a plated zinc or steel core. In a bathroom that matters, because a plated pot-metal hook will corrode from the inside where the screw penetrates the finish and eventually let go of the wall. Brass doesn't rust.

Surface mount is surface mount, so a door face works the same as a wall face as long as you have solid material to screw into. The thing to check on a hollow core door is the stile: the solid wood rail runs only a couple of inches in from the edge, and the 1-3/4 inch base needs to land on it or you're screwing into cardboard honeycomb. On a solid core or a solid wood door, anywhere on the face is fine.

Orca Hardware runs several named decorative series: the 2753 in the 27-Cypress Series, the 3654 Swirl Robe Hook in the 36-Swirl Series, the 4854 Blakely in the 48-Blakely Series, and the 4954 Whidbey in the 49-Whidbey Series. Deltana offers the 55D2010 in the 55D Series, the 88DRH in the 88 Series, the BBN2009 in the BBN Series, and the BBS2010 in the BBS Series. The Emtek 2606 sits in the Traditional Bath Hardware series with an American Classic look, in solid brass across ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Brass US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Satin Brass US4, and French Antique US7. If the trim on the rest of the room is already an Emtek finish code, the 2606 keeps the finish family consistent; if you are matching an Orca or Deltana suite, pull the hook from that same series.

They are not the same part even though both hold a robe. The Trimco 7010 fOCAL is a Robe Hook and Stop - it combines the hook with a door stop function, so it is meant to land on a door or wall where you also want to arrest door swing. The Emtek 2606 is a robe hook only, surface mounted with screws, 1-3/4 inch base height and 2-5/8 inch projection. If you order the 7010 expecting a plain hook you get a bumper you did not plan for in the elevation, and if you order the 2606 expecting a stop you still need a separate stop on the job.

The Trimco 3070-1 is a Coat and Hat Hook in the 3070 Series, shaped for hanging a coat and a hat as two separate catches. The Emtek 2606 is a solid brass robe hook in Emtek's Traditional Bath Hardware series, a single-catch hook with a 2-5/8 inch projection and a 1-3/4 inch base, sold as a complete set with screws. The 3070-1 is the piece you put on the back of an office or exam room door; the 2606 is the piece that matches decorative brass bath hardware in an American Classic scheme.

No. The 2606 is a hook only, surface mounted, with a 2-5/8 inch projection and nothing in it to arrest a swinging door. If you want the two functions in one piece of hardware, the Trimco 7010 fOCAL is a combined robe hook and stop.
