Emtek Rod Bronze 18" Door Pull

Drill on 15 inch centers. The Rod pull measures 18 inches overall with 15 inches center-to-center between the two mounting posts, so the bore pattern sits 1-1/2 inches in from each end. It mounts thru-bolt, meaning both holes go all the way through the door leaf.

Yes, and it is asked for at the order stage. Because the Rod pull is thru-bolted rather than surface screwed, the fastener length has to match the leaf, so measure the actual door thickness (a standard exterior door is 1-3/4 inches, an interior door commonly 1-3/8) and give that figure when you order. Standard mounting ships the thru-bolts with decorative caps on the back face.

No. The Rod pull is a residential-rated piece from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so for a storefront, a school corridor, or a multi-family common door you want a commercial pull instead. The Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight pull in 1 inch round bar with through-bolt mounting, and the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset heavy duty pull. For stainless commercial bar stock, the ABH AB7200 is a 7/8 inch diameter flat end pull, also through-bolted.

The Ives 8145EZ is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware in the ADA compliant EZ series. The Emtek Rod 18 inch is a straight sandcast bronze pull with a 2 inch projection and a 15 inch center-to-center, sold for residential use, so on an opening being written to an accessibility spec the 8145EZ is the one to quote.

Projection is 2 inches from the door face, and the pull stands 8 inches off the door surface at the mounting posts. That 2 inch projection is the clearance you get for a gloved hand, and it is also what you check against a storm door, a screen door, or an adjacent wall the door swings toward.

Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), ordered as 86089FB, 86089MB and 86089TWB. All three are the same sandcast bronze casting, so the finish is the only thing separating them. If you are matching other Emtek hardware on the same opening, match the finish code, not the description.

It is built as a door or appliance pull, so a paneled refrigerator front or a large pantry slab is within its intended use. The limit is the thru-bolt mounting: it needs a panel you can drill through on 15 inch centers and cap on the back side. On a cabinet door where the interior face has to stay clean, that back cap will show.

The Emtek Rod is a single-side pull, so a back-to-back arrangement means ordering two and thru-bolting them against each other rather than using the decorative caps. If you would rather buy a factory back-to-back set, the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset pair and the SSPORBB24 is the round offset version of the same length. The Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull is also sold as a back-to-back set, rated for 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch doors.

Watch the 8 inch height, not the 18 inch length. The Rod pull's posts sit 8 inches off the face and the body needs a flat, drillable stile wide enough to take a thru-bolt at each end. On a narrow aluminum stile or a glass door, a slim commercial bar pull is the better fit, such as the ABH AB3300 straight flat end pull at 1 inch diameter or the Deltana SSP1210, a 12 inch contemporary single-side pull.

The Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull, single side, which is a shorter option than the Emtek Rod 18 inch. The Emtek Rod is sandcast bronze with an 8 inch height and a 2 inch projection, so the two differ in both length and material family.

No. A push plate is a flat plate mounted to the door face with no grip to pull on. The Trimco 1001-1 is a 3 inch by 12 inch heavy duty push plate and the Trimco 1041 is a half-round push plate at 8 inches by 16 inches. If you want a grip on one face and a plate on the other, 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 Rod is a grip-style pull with a 15 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection.

They do different jobs. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inch height, in stainless steel, which mounts around a rim cylinder on a night latch installation. The Emtek Rod is an 18 inch sandcast bronze pull with a 15 inch center-to-center, thru-bolted with decorative caps, used as a general door or appliance pull rather than as cylinder trim.

The Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is a heavy duty pull built for restroom door duty. The Emtek Rod is a residential sandcast bronze pull in an 18 inch length with a 15 inch center-to-center, which suits interior and entry doors in a residential setting rather than high-traffic restroom service.

No. The Emtek Rod 18 inch mounts thru-bolt, with decorative caps on the opposite face, which means drilling through the door. The ABH AB3310 offset flat end door pull handle is a commercial grade surface mount. If you cannot drill through the door, the surface mount option is the one to look at.

Solid. The Rod is a sandcast bronze pull, cast bronze all the way through rather than a plated or coated substrate, which is why finishes like Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze wear into the metal rather than off it. The description also lists brass as the material, so confirm the substrate with us if the specification on your job calls out one alloy specifically.

No, it is purely mechanical. The Rod is a pull only, with no latching, locking, or electronic function of any kind, so it does not secure the door. Pair it with a separate latch, deadbolt, or lockset if the opening needs to lock.

The Emtek Rod bronze pull is an 18 inch pull with a 15 inch center-to-center. The ABH AB3330 series is an offset round end pull with custom length options, so it can be specified to a length outside the fixed Emtek sizes. It is an offset profile rather than the straight rod shape.
