Emtek Traditional Brass Double Hook with Rosette

The Traditional brass double hook is offered in nine finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Twelve rosette styles back it: #8, Arts & Crafts Rectangular, Lancaster (06), Oval (2), Quincy (31), Rectangular (3), Regular (0), Ribbon & Reed (7), Rope (1), Small Regular (20), Watford (22) and Wilshire (61). You pick the finish and the rosette separately, so the hook can be ordered to match the rosette shape already used on the knobs and levers in the same room.

Projection is 2-7/8 inches, and that is the only projection offered, so every finish and rosette combination stands off the wall the same distance. Worth checking against a door swing or a narrow hallway before you set the mounting height, since a coat on a 2-7/8 inch hook sits further out again.

This one is classified residential. For a bathroom, a bedroom or a single family entry it is the right hook. For a school restroom partition, a locker room, a gym or a hospital corridor, where a hook gets hung on and pulled, spec a commercial coat hook instead: the Trimco 3070-1 coat and hat hook is the commercial-line option, and the Trimco 7010 fOCAL combines a robe hook with a door stop for partition doors.

The Deltana 55D2010 is a double robe hook in solid brass from the 55D Series, and the Deltana 88DRH is a double robe hook in solid brass from the 88 Series. Both hold two garments on one wall-mounted body in the same material as the Emtek Traditional hook, which is brass. The Emtek differs in that its wall body is a rosette chosen from a design range including Lancaster, Quincy, Ribbon & Reed, Rope, Watford and Wilshire, so the base can be matched to knob and lever rosettes on the same doors.

The Deltana BBN2009 is a single robe hook in the BBN Series, and the Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress and Orca Hardware 3654 Swirl are single robe hooks in the 27-Cypress and 36-Swirl Series. Each carries one garment position instead of the two the Emtek Traditional brass hook provides, which keeps the wall footprint smaller where a door edge or a mirror limits the space.

It is a wall mount hook on a rosette, meaning the hook body threads onto a round or shaped backplate that covers the fastener location. That backplate is why the rosette choice is more than cosmetic: a Rectangular (3) or Arts & Crafts Rectangular rosette covers a different footprint than the Small Regular (20). On tile or on a plaster wall, the rosette hides the anchor and the patch line from a previous hook, so a larger rosette is the safer pick over an existing hole.

It belongs to Emtek's Traditional Bath Hardware group in the Brass collection, so it is meant to run with the towel bars, rings and paper holders from that same family and share their finish codes. If you are outfitting a whole bath, order the hook in the same finish code as the bar and ring and it will read as one set. The American Classic styling suits traditional and transitional interiors rather than contemporary ones.

A double hook gives you two hanging points on one mounting location, which is what you want behind a bathroom door where a robe and a towel both have to live, or in an entry where a coat and a bag go on the same spot. Go single when wall space is tight or you want a cleaner line and only one garment per position, like the Deltana BBN2009 single robe hook. Doubles in the same category include the Deltana 55D2010, the Deltana 88DRH and the Deltana BBS2010, plus the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely and 4954 Whidbey.

Two Deltana solid brass doubles cover the same job: the 55D2010 from the 55D Series and the 88DRH from the 88 Series, both solid brass like the Emtek. The Deltana BBS2010 is another double in the BBS Series. On the decorative side, Orca Hardware offers the 4854 Blakely and the 4954 Whidbey doubles, and the 2753 Cypress and 3654 Swirl singles. The thing the Emtek does that none of those do is let you specify the rosette shape separately from the finish, which is how you get it to match an existing knob rosette.

Three things: finish, rosette style and that is effectively it, since projection is fixed at 2-7/8 inches across the line. Finish runs the nine Emtek codes from Flat Black (US19) through Unlacquered Brass (US3NL); rosette runs twelve shapes including Rope (1), Ribbon & Reed (7), Quincy (31) and Watford (22). If you are matching a room already trimmed in Emtek, copy the rosette name off the existing knob or lever rose and the hook will line up with it.

They are not interchangeable. The Trimco 3070-1 is a coat and hat hook in the 3070 Series. The Emtek Traditional Brass Double Hook is a brass wall-mounted hook on a decorative rosette, catalogued for residential use, with the rosette matched to designs such as Regular, Small Regular, Oval and Arts & Crafts Rectangular so it coordinates with door trim in the same room. Buyers specifying to a commercial washroom or locker-room drawing that calls out Trimco should order the Trimco part rather than substituting the Emtek.

The Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely and the Orca Hardware 4954 Whidbey are both double robe hooks, from the 48-Blakely and 49-Whidbey Series. They carry two garment positions the same as the Emtek Traditional Brass Double Hook, which is styled traditional on an American Classic theme with a rosette wall base. Choose by which body shape suits the room, since the hanging capacity is the same.

No power involved. It is a mechanical wall mount hook, non-electronic, so there is no wiring, no transformer and nothing to coordinate with an electrician on the job.
