Emtek Rod Bronze 8" Door Pull

Center-to-center is 8 inches, and the pull's overall height is also listed at 8 inches, so the mounting holes sit at the extreme ends of the rod. If you are replacing an existing pull and want to reuse the holes in the door, the old pull has to be on 8 inch centers. Projection off the face of the door is 2 inches.

Three ways to mount it. Standard is thru-bolt with decorative caps, where the fasteners pass through the door and finish caps cover the heads on the opposite face. Back-to-Back (BTB) pairs the pull with a matching pull on the other side, with the bolts joining the two, which is what you want on a full-lite entry or a glass-front door pulled from both sides. Concealed Surface (CS) mounts from the face with no visible fasteners and no hole through the back side, for a door where the back face has to stay clean or is not accessible. The mounting choice is baked into the part number: 86088FB is standard, BTB86088FB is back-to-back, CS86088FB is concealed surface.

Yes, for anything thru-bolted. There is a door thickness field on the order, and it matters because the bolts on both the standard thru-bolt and the back-to-back version have to run the full thickness of the door. Give the actual measured thickness, not the nominal. The Concealed Surface version does not pass through the door, so thickness is less critical there.

The Emtek Rod pull is a sandcast bronze pull designated for residential use, so for heavy-traffic commercial doors look at the Ives 8103HD, a heavy duty straight door pull with a 1 inch round bar and through-bolt mounting, or the Ives 8102HD heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4 inch round bar and 1-1/2 inch clearance. Both are rated heavy duty, where the Emtek is a decorative brass pull intended for residential doors.

The Emtek Rod 8 inch pull can be ordered in a Back-to-Back (BTB) mounting configuration, for example BTB86088MB in Medium Bronze. If you want a different look in a back-to-back set, the Deltana OHP620 is an off-set handle pull sold as a back-to-back set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch thick, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset pull. The Sure-Loc PL-2KN is a knurled long door pull in a double-sided version.

The Emtek Rod is a straight bronze pull with a 2 inch projection, sold for residential applications. If your drawing calls for an ADA-compliant offset pull, the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware described as ADA compliant. Other offset choices include the Ives 8169 C style offset solid pull at 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting, and the ABH AB3310 offset flat end pull for surface mount.

Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection finishes, so they are made to live alongside other Emtek sandcast bronze levers, knobs and plates in the same finish code. Because it is cast bronze, expect some variation piece to piece, which is the point of the look rather than a defect.

Yes. Emtek classifies it as a door or appliance pull, so at 8 inch center-to-center with 2 inch projection it works on a refrigerator panel, pantry door, or oversized cabinet door as well as a passage or entry door. On an appliance panel the thru-bolt version needs access to the back face; if you cannot get behind it, order the Concealed Surface version.

No, order the Back-to-Back version, part numbers BTB86088FB, BTB86088MB, or BTB86088TWB depending on finish. That option supplies the matched pair with the through fasteners that tie them together, rather than two separate single-side pulls that would fight for the same holes. If you want a longer back-to-back pull for a tall glass front, the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24 inch round offset back-to-back set.

At 8 inches on center, the Rod pull is sized for a passage door, cabinet, or appliance panel, not for a tall glass front. For length, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch single-side contemporary pull, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 runs 24 inches as a back-to-back modern offset set. On the residential side, Sure-Loc makes long single-sided pulls in round, square and knurled profiles with thru-bolt or concealed mounting.

No. The Emtek Rod is a graspable bronze pull handle with an 8 inch center-to-center and 2 inch projection for pulling a door open. A push plate is flat surface trim for the push side, such as the Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate at 3 inch by 12 inch or the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate at 8 inch by 16 inch. If you want both functions on one door, the Trimco 1070 series classic push/pull plates at 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch pair a plate with an integral pull.

The Emtek Rod pull is an 8 inch size. For a long ladder-style pull, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull for single side mounting, and the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back round offset pull. The ABH AB3330 series offset round end pull is offered with custom length options if you need a length outside standard sizes.

The Emtek Rod is brass with a bronze finish family including 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 at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting, which matches the Emtek's thru-bolt method, and the ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end commercial pull at 1 inch diameter.

The Emtek Rod is a decorative bronze door or appliance pull with no cylinder prep. For a night latch application where the pull surrounds a rim cylinder, use the Cal-Royal PUL-175 night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2 inch height in stainless steel. For a restroom door where the user opens with a forearm or towel, the Trimco 1035 Ultimate Restroom Pull is the heavy duty purpose-built option.

It is cast from brass and catalogued as bronze substrate, part of the sandcast bronze family, so the color runs through the casting rather than sitting on top as a plated coating. That matters on a high-touch pull, where a plated finish is what eventually wears through at the grip point.

It is a pull only, with no electronics and no latching function. There is nothing to grip and turn and nothing to key. You still need a separate latch, lock, or roller catch to hold the door closed, and on an entry door a deadbolt to secure it.
