Emtek Knoxville Push & Pull Plates

Same 3-1/2 x 15 inch brass plate, different job. The 86081 is the push plate, a blank plate for the push side of the door. The 86082 is the pull plate, drilled to take an 8 inch pull on the pull side. A typical opening uses one of each, push plate on one face and pull plate with a pull on the other, and both are offered in the same seven finishes so they match.

Yes, 1-3/4 inches is the standard thickness these are built around, which is the usual commercial and exterior door thickness. If your door is thicker, say so on the order under the Door Thickness field so the pull hardware is sized for it. The plates are surface mount, so no mortising is needed.

The 86082 pull plate is drilled to accept an 8 inch pull, so it matches an 8 inch center-to-center pattern. If the existing holes in the door are on a different spacing, the plate will cover the face but the pull holes will not line up. The Ives 8303 is the option to look at when you need 8 or 10 inch center-to-center, and Trimco offers 5 inch CTC on the 1010 Series and 5.5 inch on the 1012 and 1013.

The Knoxville plate is 3-1/2 inches across and 15 inches on the long dimension, so the stile face has to be wider than 3-1/2 inches to take it without overhanging the glass stop or the lite. On a full flush wood or steel door that is never an issue. On a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, measure the stile first. There is no smaller size in the Knoxville range, so if 3-1/2 inches is too wide you need a different plate.

No. For an opening with a Detex Value Series exit device, use the Detex P/PN Series Pull Plate, which is made for that device. The Emtek Knoxville pull plate is a surface mounted brass plate drilled to accept an 8 inch pull, with the pull bought separately, and it carries no exit device prep.

The Emtek Knoxville plates are classed as residential. For a high traffic opening, the Ives 8302 Heavy Duty Pull Plate with Through Bolt Mounting and the Ives 8303 Heavy Duty Pull Plate are both heavy duty; the 8302 through bolts rather than relying on screws into the door face, and the 8303 is offered in 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center mounting. The Trimco 1010 Series Cast Pull Plate with 5 inch CTC, the Trimco 1012 Cast Tapered Pull Plate with 5.5 inch CTC, and the Trimco 1013 Round Pull Plate with 5.5 inch CTC are also heavy duty cast plates.

The Delaney 3-1/2" x 15" Push Plate matches the Knoxville push plate dimension for dimension at 3-1/2 inches by 15 inches. The Knoxville push plate is brass with a surface mount and ships with matching screws, and it is offered in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If the door already has a 3-1/2 by 15 plate cut into the paint line, either part covers the same footprint.

The Delaney 3-1/2" x 15" Door Pull Plate is the same 3-1/2 by 15 pull plate size as the Emtek Knoxville pull plate. The Knoxville pull plate is brass, surface mounted, and drilled to accept an 8 inch pull, with the pull ordered separately. Confirm the hole spacing you need before swapping, since the Knoxville prep is set for the 8 inch pull.

The Emtek Knoxville pull plate is drilled for an 8 inch pull, so a 5 inch center-to-center pull will not land on its holes. The Trimco 1010 Series Cast Pull Plate is prepped for a 5 inch CTC pull. If your pull is 5.5 inch CTC, the Trimco 1012 Cast Tapered Pull Plate and the Trimco 1013 Round Pull Plate both take that spacing, and the Trimco 1014 Series Half-Round Pull Plate is prepped for 6 inch CTC.

Seven, and both the push plate and the pull plate are offered in every one of them: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), and Polished Chrome (US26). Screws ship in a matching finish. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina with handling rather than hold its as-shipped look, which matters on a plate people touch all day.

Not the right part for that. The Knoxville 86082 is a standalone brass pull plate for a residential-style opening, not trim built to a device manufacturer's pattern. For a pull plate that goes with an exit device, the Detex P/PN Series pull plate is made for Detex Value Series exit devices.

They surface mount with the screws supplied in the matching finish, straight to the door face. No mortise pocket, no through bolt prep. If the opening needs through bolted plates because of abuse or traffic, the Ives 8302 heavy duty pull plate is built for through bolt mounting.

Yes. Order the 86081 push plate and the 86082 pull plate in one finish and every opening reads the same, since both functions are made in all seven finishes and both are the same 3-1/2 x 15 inch plate. Note the pull plate needs its 8 inch pull ordered as a separate line for each door, so count those into the quantity.

Step up to the Delaney 4" x 16" Push Plate, which covers a larger area of the door face than the 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch Knoxville push plate. A matching 4 by 16 pull plate is available as the Delaney 4" x 16" Door Pull Plate if the opening needs push on one side and pull on the other in the same size.

Solid brass, both the push plate and the pull plate. That is what lets Emtek offer it in an unlacquered brass (US3NL) that ages naturally, and it is why the finish holds up on a surface people put their hands on. Brass is softer than a stainless or bronze commercial plate, so expect it to mark under cart and equipment traffic.

The Emtek Knoxville pull plate is brass, surface mounted and supplied with matching screws, in finishes including Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Pewter (US15A) and Polished Chrome (US26). The cast alternatives are the Trimco 1010 Series Cast Pull Plate with 5 inch CTC, the Trimco 1012 Cast Tapered Heavy Duty Pull Plate with 5.5 inch CTC, and the Trimco 1013 Round Heavy Duty Pull Plate with 5.5 inch CTC. Choose on the pull spacing your hardware uses and the finish the rest of the door carries.
