Emtek 86160-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What mounting options does the Emtek Nunez pull come in, and which one do I pick?
Three. Standard mounting is thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the fasteners pass through the door and are capped on the back face. Back-to-Back (BTB) pairs the pull with a matching pull on the opposite face and they bolt to each other, which is the usual choice on a full glass or entry door where both sides are seen. Concealed Surface (CS) mounts from the face with no visible fasteners and no back-side pull. Order the mounting up front, since it changes the part number, for example 86160MB standard versus BTB86160MB or CS86160MB.
2) Do I need to give my door thickness when ordering the Nunez pull?
Yes, provide it. The pull is offered with thru-bolt and back-to-back mounting, both of which pass fasteners through the door, so the thickness determines the fastener length supplied. There is a door thickness field on the order for exactly that reason.
3) I want a matching pull on both sides of the door. Do I order two?
No, order the Back-to-Back version as one item, for example BTB86160FB in Flat Black Bronze. That configuration supplies pulls for both faces mounted against each other through the door. Ordering two standard thru-bolt pulls is not the same thing, since each of those is set up for a single face with decorative caps on the reverse.
4) Is there an ADA compliant alternative to the Emtek Nunez bronze door pull?
The Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware described as ADA compliant in the EZ series. The Nunez 8" is a sandcast bronze residential pull with an 8" center-to-center dimension and is not described with an ADA designation, so on an opening where the drawing calls for ADA compliant pull hardware the 8145EZHD is the one to spec.
5) What should I use instead of the Emtek Nunez 8" bronze pull on a high-traffic commercial entrance?
The Nunez 8" sandcast bronze pull is designated for residential use. For a commercial entrance, the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull with a 1" round bar and through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4" round bar and 1-1/2" clearance. Both are built for commercial door service rather than decorative residential openings.
6) I need a much longer pull than the Emtek Nunez 8" - what are my options?
The Nunez pull is an 8" center-to-center size. For a long pull on a tall or glass front door, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12" contemporary pull in a single side configuration, the SSPOBB24 is a 24" back-to-back modern offset pull, and the SSPORBB24 is a 24" back-to-back round offset pull. The ABH AB3330 series offset round end pull is offered with custom length options.
7) What finishes is the Emtek Nunez 8 inch pull available in?
Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are available in every mounting style. Because these are sandcast, each piece varies slightly in texture and tone, which is what makes them blend across a set of doors rather than match like machined hardware.
8) Can I use this pull on a cabinet or appliance, not just a door?
Yes. The Nunez is catalogued as a door or appliance pull, so the same 8 inch center-to-center casting is used on refrigerator and cabinet panels as well as on doors. For appliance panels the concealed surface version avoids fasteners showing on the inside face.
9) What is this pull made of, and will the finish wear through?
Solid bronze throughout, both material and substrate, not a plated base metal. The finish is part of the sandcast bronze process rather than a coating over another alloy, so wear at the grip develops as a patina rather than exposing a different-colored metal underneath.
10) Will the Nunez pull work on a thin glass or narrow panel door?
Treat it as a door-face mounted pull: the standard and back-to-back versions bolt through the panel, so you need a face flat enough to seat the pull ends on 8 inch centers and the ability to drill through. If your panel is too thin for thru-bolting, Deltana's OHP620 back-to-back offset pull is specified for 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch doors, which is a thinner range than typical commercial stock.
11) I need a back-to-back pull set - does the Nunez cover that, or should I look at another brand?
The Nunez 8" bronze pull is offered in a Back-to-Back (BTB) mounting option, for example BTB86160MB in Medium Bronze, alongside standard thru-bolt with decorative caps and concealed surface mounting. If you want a back-to-back set in a different style, the Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull supplied as a back-to-back set for 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" doors, and the Sure-Loc PL-2KN is a knurled long door pull in a double-sided configuration.
12) Can I use a push plate instead of the Emtek Nunez pull on the push side of a door?
A push plate is a different part - it gives a flat bearing surface with no grip. Trimco offers the 1001-1 heavy duty push plate in 3" x 12" and the 1041 half-round push plate in 8" x 16", and the Trimco 1070 series is a classic push/pull plate at 3-1/2" x 15". The Nunez 8" is a graspable bronze pull with an 8" center-to-center, so it is the pull-side hardware, not a plate.
13) What is the stainless steel equivalent of the Emtek Nunez bronze pull?
The Nunez 8" is sandcast bronze in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. If the job calls for stainless, the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle, 7/8" diameter, with through-bolt mounting, and the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull handle at 1.00" diameter for commercial doors.
14) Is there a stainless steel alternative if I want the same pull shape without bronze?
For a non-bronze look, the Sure-Loc round long door pull is a single-sided pull offered with concealed or thru-bolt mounting, which mirrors the mounting choices here, and Deltana's SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary single-side pull. Those are smooth contemporary profiles rather than the rustic sandcast character of the Nunez.
15) Is the Emtek Nunez pull electrified or part of an access control setup?
No. It is a straight mechanical pull with no electronic components, so there is nothing to wire and no power supply or access control interface involved. It provides pull only, with no latching function, so the door still needs its own latch, deadbolt, or closer hardware.
16) If I want an offset pull instead of the straight Nunez, what should I order?
The ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end door pull handle for commercial surface mount, the ABH AB3330 is an offset round end pull, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid door pull at 1" diameter with heavy duty mounting. Deltana's SSPORBB24 covers a round offset profile in a 24" back-to-back set.
