Emtek Ribbon & Reed 8" Door Pull

Yes. The Ribbon & Reed 8 inch pull is offered in a back-to-back configuration as well as single-side, so you can put a matching pull on both faces of the door. There are three mounting choices in all: standard thru-bolt with decorative caps, back-to-back (BTB), and concealed surface (CS). Pick BTB when you want a pull on each side, and CS when you do not want any visible fastener on the opposite face.

Center to center is 8 inches, and overall height is also 8 inches, so the fasteners land right at the ends of the pull. If you are replacing an existing pull and want to reuse the holes in the door, the existing pull needs to be on 8 inch centers too. Projection off the face is 2 inches, which is the knuckle clearance you get behind the grip.

Yes, give the door thickness with the order. The Ribbon & Reed pull mounts thru-bolt, so the fasteners pass through the door and the length has to suit the slab. There is a door thickness field on the order for exactly that, and it matters most on the back-to-back and concealed surface versions where the hardware ties the two faces together.

It is a residential-grade decorative pull, so a high-traffic commercial entrance is not what it is built for. Use it on interior passage doors, French doors, closet and pantry doors, and cabinetry in homes and light hospitality. For a store entrance or an institutional corridor, go to a heavy duty commercial pull like the Ives 8103HD 1 inch round straight pull with through-bolt mounting, or the ABH AB7200 solid stainless steel flat end pull, 7/8 inch diameter, also through-bolted.

The Emtek Ribbon and Reed 8 inch pull is a brass, residential-rated pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection. For an opening that sees commercial traffic, the Ives 8103HD straight door pull is a heavy duty 1 inch round bar pull with through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull using a 3/4 inch round bar with 1-1/2 inch clearance. Both are plain round bar profiles rather than the fluted ribbon and reed styling, so they change the look of the door while moving you to a heavy duty pull.

The Emtek Ribbon and Reed 8 inch pull is offered in a BTB back-to-back mounting version, for example BTB86080US15 in Satin Nickel. If you want a longer back-to-back set, the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset door pull set, and the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back round offset set. The Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull sold as a back-to-back set with a door thickness range of 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch.

Either way. The Ribbon & Reed 8 inch pull can be mounted directly to the door on its own, or mounted to a pull plate for a fuller escutcheon look and to protect the door face behind the grip. It is also used as an appliance pull, so the same handle can carry from a cabinet or refrigerator panel through to the passage doors.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. It comes in seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). If you are matching existing Emtek brass-collection trim in a house, order the same US code and the pull will read the same. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its shine.

Standard mounting is a thru-bolt with decorative caps, so you see a finished cap on the back side of the door. BTB pairs two pulls back to back with common fasteners, giving you a matching handle on both faces. CS is concealed surface, where the fastener does not show. On the order form the mounting choice is carried in the part number: 86080 plus the finish code for standard, BTB86080 for back-to-back, CS86080 for concealed surface. All seven finishes are offered in each of the three mountings.

The Ribbon & Reed is available as a back-to-back set and you supply your door thickness so the thru-bolts suit the slab, which covers a thin door fine. If you would rather have a set with a published thickness range, the Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull back-to-back set is listed for 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch doors. The difference is style: the Emtek is a fluted ribbon and reed grip in brass, the Deltana is an offset handle.

At 8 inches overall with 8 inch centers, the Ribbon & Reed is a hand-sized grip, right for interior doors, French doors, and cabinetry rather than a statement handle on a tall entry slab. If you want a long vertical pull that reads across a full-height door, look at the Deltana SSP1210 12 inch contemporary pull for a single side, or the Deltana SSPOBB24 24 inch back-to-back modern offset pulls for a pair of doors.

No. The Ribbon and Reed 8 inch is a grasp handle with a 2 inch projection that you pull, mounted thru-bolt. A push plate is a flat plate for the push side of the opening: the Trimco 1001-1 is a heavy duty push plate at 3 inches by 12 inches and the Trimco 1041 is a half-round push plate at 8 inches by 16 inches. If you want both sides covered, the Trimco 1070 Series classic push/pull plates at 3-1/2 inches by 15 inches pair a pull plate with a push plate. The Emtek Ribbon and Reed pull may also be used separately or with pull plates.

The Emtek Ribbon and Reed pull is an 8 inch center-to-center pull with a 2 inch projection. For a longer single-side handle, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull sold single side. It is a contemporary profile rather than the ribbon and reed fluted styling, so it reads as a different design family on the door.

Yes, in a plain bar profile. The ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end commercial door pull at 1.00 inch diameter, the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end pull in a commercial grade surface mount, and the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting, which matches the thru-bolt mounting the Emtek Ribbon and Reed uses. The ABH AB3330 offset round end pull is offered with custom length options if 8 inch center-to-center is not the length you need.

No, it is a purely mechanical decorative grip. There is no electronics, no latch, and no locking function, so it does not secure the door on its own. Pair it with whatever latch, deadbolt, or roller catch the opening needs; the pull is only there to move the door.

The Emtek Ribbon and Reed 8 inch is a brass pull with an 8 inch center-to-center, a 2 inch projection, and thru-bolt mounting with decorative caps on the standard version. The Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid door pull at 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting. The offset C geometry sets the grip away from the door face for a full-hand grasp, where the Ribbon and Reed carries the fluted decorative profile and a fixed 2 inch projection.
