Emtek Lost Wax Cast Bronze Twist 8" Door Pull

Three mounting choices, and they change what you see on the door. Standard mounting is thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the fastener heads are covered by finish caps on the opposite face. Concealed screws (CS) hides the fasteners for a clean face. Back-to-back (BTB) ties two pulls together through the door so the same bolt serves a pull on each side, which is what you want on a full-glass or wood entry door pulled from both sides. Pick the one that matches how the door is used before you order; the finish is the same across all three.

Center-to-center is 8 inches, and the pull's overall height is also listed at 8 inches. That CTC is the number that has to match your door prep: if you are replacing an existing pull, measure between the existing bolt hole centers, and if it is not 8 inches you will be drilling new holes. Projection off the door face is 2 inches.

It is a residential-classified pull, cast in bronze for the Tuscany Bronze collection, so it belongs on a house, a condo, or a light-use amenity door rather than a high-traffic commercial entrance. For an office lobby, school, or retail opening that takes constant use, a heavy duty commercial pull is the correct call: the Ives 8103HD 1 inch round through-bolt pull or the ABH AB7200 solid stainless flat end pull with through-bolt mounting are both built for that duty.

Yes, and you are asked for it on the order. Because the standard mounting is thru-bolt and the back-to-back option runs fasteners all the way through the door, the bolt length has to suit the slab. Measure the actual door thickness, 1-3/4 inches is the standard entry door and 1-3/8 inches the common interior slab, and give that number when you order. Only the concealed screw version avoids a full pass-through fastener.

The Emtek Twist 8 inch cast bronze pull is a residential-rated pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and thru-bolt mounting. For an opening that sees commercial traffic, the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull, 1 inch round, with through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4 inch round bar and 1-1/2 inch clearance. Both are plain round-bar pulls rather than a cast sculptural form, so the look changes with the swap.

The Emtek Twist 8 inch is offered in a Back-to-Back mounting configuration in both Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze, alongside standard thru-bolt and concealed screw versions. The Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull sold as a back-to-back set with a stated door thickness range of 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. The Deltana is an offset handle shape; the Emtek is a cast bronze twisted bar with a 2 inch projection.

The Twist pull stands 2 inches off the door face, which is the grip clearance you get between the pull and the door. That is enough for a bare hand on a residential entry. If the door is on a commercial opening where users wear gloves or the pull needs to be operated with a closed fist, look at a heavy duty commercial pull instead, such as the Ives 8102HD with its 1-1/2 inch clearance round bar.

Two: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are lost wax cast bronze from the Tuscany line, so they are living finishes that will develop a patina with handling rather than staying uniform. If you are matching other openings in the same house, order all the pulls in one finish code at once, because cast bronze varies slightly batch to batch. Every mounting option, standard thru-bolt, back-to-back, and concealed screw, is offered in both finishes.

A pull is for the side that gets pulled open, so on a door swinging out toward you the Twist pull is what you grab. On the push side of the same door, hardware you push against rather than grip is the usual pairing, like the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 by 12 inches or the Trimco 1070 Series push/pull plate set at 3-1/2 by 15 inches. On a single-action door pulled from both faces, order the Twist in the back-to-back mounting instead and skip the plate.

Solid bronze all the way through. The Twist pull is lost wax cast, with bronze listed as both the material and the substrate, so the finish is not a coating over a different base metal and wear at the grip will not expose a contrasting core. That is why the two finish options, Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze, age rather than chip.

The Twist is an 8 inch pull, both in height and in center-to-center, so it reads small on a tall full-glass door. For that opening, longer pulls suit the proportion better: the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary single-side pull, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 and SSPORBB24 are 24 inch back-to-back sets in modern offset and round offset profiles. The ABH AB3330 Series offset round end pull is available with custom length options if you need a specific size.

It is a pull only, with no latch, no lock and no electronic function. You still need a separate latch or deadbolt to secure the opening. On an entry door that means pairing it with a mortise or tubular lock, or on a full-glass door with a dedicated glass door lock. If you specifically need a pull that works with a cylinder for a night latch application, the Cal-Royal PUL-175 night latch cylinder pull is that type of part.

The Emtek Twist cast bronze pull is built to a fixed 8 inch center-to-center with a 2 inch projection. When the opening needs a length outside that, the ABH AB3330 series is an offset round end pull offered with custom length options. The ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end commercial pull at 1 inch diameter, and the AB3310 is the offset flat end version, surface mount.

No. The Emtek Twist is a graspable cast bronze pull handle with a 2 inch projection, thru-bolted through the door. A plate is flat hardware fixed to the face of the door: the Trimco 1001-1 is a heavy duty push plate at 3 inches by 12 inches, the Trimco 1041 is a half-round push plate at 8 inches by 16 inches, and the Trimco 1070 series is a classic push/pull plate at 3-1/2 inches by 15 inches. Plates protect the door face and give a push surface; only the pull gives a hand grip to draw the door open.

The Emtek Twist is a decorative pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and no cylinder or latch provision of any kind. For a restroom opening specified with a dedicated pull, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is a heavy duty pull built for that use. For a door with a rim cylinder that has to be pulled shut by the cylinder, the Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inches high, in stainless steel. Neither function is covered by the Emtek.

The Emtek Twist is lost wax cast bronze, offered in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze finishes in the Tuscany Bronze collection. The ABH AB7200 is solid stainless steel, a flat end pull handle at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting. Both thru-bolt through the door; the difference is a cast bronze decorative profile against a plain stainless bar.

It is catalogued as a door or appliance pull, so yes, an 8 inch center-to-center Twist works on a refrigerator or panel-front appliance as well as on a passage or entry door. The limit is the mounting: appliance and cabinet panels usually need the thru-bolt or concealed screw version rather than back-to-back, since you only have one accessible face.
