Emtek Rod Bronze 13-3/4" Door Pull

Thru-bolt mounting is standard, so yes, the door gets drilled through and the pull is bolted from the opposite face with decorative caps covering the fasteners. If you do not want visible caps on the back side, order the Concealed Surface (CS) version instead. If you want a matching pull on both faces of the same door, the Back-to-Back (BTB) version pairs them through the same holes.

Three different jobs. Standard thru-bolt is one pull on one face, with decorative caps showing where the bolts land on the other side, and it is what you use on a door that has a knob or lever on the opposite face. Back-to-Back gives you a pull on each face sharing the same bolts, which is what a glass or full-panel entry door usually wants. Concealed Surface hides the fasteners so nothing shows on the reverse face. The finish choice is the same across all three: Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze.

Yes, give the door thickness on the order. Because the pull thru-bolts through the door, the fastener length has to match the slab, and the order form takes a door thickness entry for exactly that reason. Measure the actual slab, not the frame opening, and include the thickness of any glass or panel the bolts pass through.

No, this one is built for residential use. It is a sandcast bronze decorative pull, and the right call for a house, a custom front door, or a high-end multi-family unit entry. For a commercial opening taking constant traffic, go to a heavy duty commercial pull such as the Ives 8103HD, a 1 inch round straight pull with through-bolt mounting, or the Ives 8145 offset pull, which is listed as ADA compliant with heavy duty mounting hardware.

The Emtek Rod bronze pull carries 12 inch center-to-center spacing and mounts thru-bolt with decorative caps in its standard configuration. The Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull supplied single side, which puts it in the same size range for one face of the door. The Rod is a sandcast bronze piece in the Rod series, while the SSP1210 belongs to Deltana's Contemporary Pulls series, so the two land in different design languages at similar length.

Yes. It is classified as a door or appliance pull, so the same 12 inch center-to-center pull works on a refrigerator or panel-front appliance as it does on an entry door. The 2 inch projection gives you grip clearance for a gloved hand, and the mounting still has to pass through the panel, so confirm the panel thickness before ordering.

Two inches of projection. That is the space between the door face and the back of the grip, which is what decides whether a gloved hand fits and whether the pull clears a storm door or an adjacent wall when the door swings. On a pair of doors with the pulls facing each other, check that 2 inches against the gap at the astragal.

Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are Emtek's Sandcast Bronze finishes, so they are meant to be specified alongside other pieces in that same collection rather than against Emtek's brass or stainless lines. Every mounting version carries all three, so switching from standard thru-bolt to back-to-back does not narrow your finish choice.

It works as the pull side. Order the standard thru-bolt version rather than back-to-back, since back-to-back puts a pull on both faces. For the push side, a Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 x 12 inches is the plain rectangular option, the Trimco 1041 half-round plate covers 8 x 16 inches, and the Trimco 1070 Series classic push/pull plates run 3-1/2 x 15 inches. Note that the Emtek is a residential-duty piece and those Trimco plates are commercial, so on a residential job match the finish family carefully.

The Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull is supplied as a back-to-back set with a stated door thickness range of 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. The Emtek Rod bronze pull is also offered in a back-to-back configuration, with door thickness taken as an entered value on the order. On a thin interior slab in that 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch band, the OHP620 arrives sized for it without specifying the thickness separately.

The Rod pull is part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection and the substrate is bronze. The listed specification also calls out brass in the construction. Either way it is a solid cast metal pull, not plated steel or tube, and it will patina the way a sandcast bronze finish is meant to.

The Emtek Rod pull is bronze, from the Sandcast Bronze collection, offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze finishes. The ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle of 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting. The bronze piece carries a cast, patinated character across its three finishes; the stainless AB7200 is a uniform commercial bar, and the two read very differently on the same door.
