Emtek 86106 Sandcast Bronze Robe Hook

Projection on the 86106 sandcast bronze robe hook is 2-1/2 inches, with a 1-1/2 inch base height. That projection is what decides whether it clears a swinging door or a shower curtain in a tight bath, so measure the swing path before you set the location.

Screws are included. The 86106 ships as a complete set and surface mounts to the wall, so nothing further is needed for a standard install. Anchors for hollow drywall are a job-condition item, not part of the set.

Emtek lists the 86106 as residential. For commercial restrooms, back-of-house, or institutional traffic, look at the Trimco 3070-1 coat and hat hook or the Trimco 7010 fOCAL robe hook and stop instead, which is the line built for that duty. Single-family rentals and residential common areas are where the 86106 belongs.

The Deltana BBN2009 single robe hook in the BBN Series is the closest single-hook counterpart. Both hang one robe or towel from a surface-mounted base, so the choice comes down to look: the Emtek 86106 is a sandcast bronze piece in Flat Black, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze, with a 1-1/2 inch base height and 2-1/2 inch projection. The Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress robe hook is another single hook, in the 27-Cypress Series.

The Emtek 86106 is a single hook with a 2-1/2 inch projection. For two hanging points off one base, the Deltana 55D2010 double robe hook in the 55D Series, the Deltana 88DRH double robe hook in the 88 Series, and the Deltana BBS2010 double robe hook in the BBS Series are all doubles in solid brass or their respective series, as are the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely and 4954 Whidbey double robe hooks. A double is the usual pick for a shared bath or a guest room where one wall location has to serve two people.

The Emtek 86106 is a residential sandcast bronze bath piece. For a commercial coat run, the Trimco 3070-1 coat and hat hook in the 3070 Series is the item built for that duty and is the one specifiers reach for in schools, offices, and institutional restrooms. Property managers standardizing hooks across a building will generally spec the Trimco for back-of-house and public areas and keep the Emtek 86106 for finished residential units.

The Trimco 7010 fOCAL robe hook and stop combines both functions in one 7010 Series unit, which is the piece to use on a bathroom door that needs to be held off the wall as well as give you somewhere to hang a robe. The Emtek 86106 is a robe hook only, surface mounted, with a 2-1/2 inch projection and screws included, so a separate stop is needed alongside it.

It belongs to the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware series, so it is styled to run with the other bath pieces in that same Emtek collection, in the matching finish code. Pull the whole room from that series in one finish and the castings and patina read as a set.

The Emtek 86106 is a sandcast bronze hook, listed with a bronze material and substrate, and comes in Flat Black, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze - a cast, textured, rustic look. The Deltana 55D2010 and 88DRH are described as solid brass doubles in the 55D and 88 Series. Sandcast bronze carries the surface irregularity of the casting; the brass pieces are the smoother, more machined-looking family. Both are surface-mounted hooks, so the decision is what the rest of the bath hardware in the room looks like.

It is not a like-for-like swap. The Orca Hardware 4954 Whidbey is a double robe hook in the 49-Whidbey Series, while the Emtek 86106 is a single hook with a 1-1/2 inch base height and 2-1/2 inch projection. A double has a wider base and two hanging points, so it will not land on the same screw holes and it changes the profile on the wall. For a one-for-one replacement of a single sandcast hook, stay with a single such as the Deltana BBN2009 in the BBN Series.

Cast bronze, part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection. Sand casting leaves a heavier, slightly irregular surface texture rather than the smooth machined look of a stamped hook, which is the point of the rustic styling. It is solid metal, not a plated zinc casting.

The Emtek 86106 sits in the Sandcast Bronze collection under a rustic theme, finished in Flat Black, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze. The Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress in the 27-Cypress Series is the nearer single hook on that side of the aesthetic; the Orca Hardware 3654 Swirl in the 36-Swirl Series is a decorative single hook with a different profile. If the room is being fitted out as one package, matching the hook to the rest of the Sandcast Bronze bath hardware keeps the casting texture consistent across the towel bar, ring, and hook.
