Emtek Transitional Brass Single Hook with Rosette

Emtek classes the Transitional brass single hook as residential hardware. For a high-traffic commercial restroom, corridor or an institutional washroom, look at a commercial-duty hook instead, such as the Trimco 3070-1 coat and hat hook or the Trimco 7010 fOCAL robe hook and stop. Those are the ones spec'd on commercial jobs. The Emtek is aimed at homes, condo units and finished residential baths.

The Deltana BBN2009 is a single robe hook in the BBN Series, so it hangs one garment per mounting point the same way the Emtek Transitional brass single hook does. The Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress robe hook is another single-hook option, from the 27-Cypress Series. The Emtek hook is solid brass with a 2-7/8 inch projection and mounts on a rosette, and it is offered in twelve rosette shapes including Disk, Oval, Square, Quincy and Watford, so if you are matching an existing set of Emtek rosettes on the same wall the Emtek hook is the one that carries that rosette shape through.

Use a double hook. The Deltana 55D2010 is a double robe hook in the 55D Series and the Deltana 88DRH is a double robe hook in the 88 Series, both solid brass. Orca Hardware offers the 4854 Blakely double robe hook and the 4954 Whidbey double robe hook. The Emtek Transitional brass hook is a single hook, so it takes one garment per mounting point; on a bathroom door or a wall where each user needs two hanging points, the double hooks halve the number of mounting locations you have to lay out and drill.

Look at the Trimco 3070-1 coat and hat hook from the 3070 Series. Trimco 3070 hooks are the plain coat-and-hat form specified for corridors, classrooms and office fit-outs. The Emtek Transitional brass single hook with rosette is a residential-duty piece in the Transitional Bath Hardware series, styled to coordinate with an Emtek rosette on residential doors and bath walls, so for institutional traffic the Trimco coat and hat hook is the closer fit and the Emtek hook is the one you put in a unit bathroom or a hospitality guest room.

The Trimco 7010 fOCAL robe hook and stop combines both functions in one 7010 Series unit, so a single piece hangs a robe and stops the door. The Emtek Transitional brass single hook is a wall-mount hook only, with a 2-7/8 inch projection and no stop function, so if the opening also needs the door held off the wall you would either specify the Trimco 7010 or pair the Emtek hook with a separate stop.

Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is raw brass with no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling and humidity. In a bathroom that happens quickly. If you want the brass tone to stay put, order Satin Brass (US4) instead, which is a finished coating. The hook body is solid brass either way.

Wall mount, with the hook fixed to a rosette backplate that sits flat against the surface. It is not an over-the-door hook and has no strap to hang on a door edge. Mount it into blocking or a suitable anchor, since a wet robe puts real load on a 2-7/8 inch arm.

Deltana's BBN2009 single robe hook from the BBN Series is the closest single-hook alternative in the same category. If a different design language suits the room better, Orca Hardware's 2753 Cypress and 3654 Swirl robe hooks are further options. The Emtek is the one to pick when you want the hook to match Emtek rosettes and finishes already used elsewhere in the house.

The Emtek Transitional brass single hook with rosette is offered in Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), so the dark finishes are covered on the same solid brass hook body. Among the alternatives, the Deltana BBN2009 single robe hook in the BBN Series and the Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress robe hook are the single-hook peers to price against, each carrying its own series finish range.

The Deltana BBS2010 is a double robe hook in the BBS Series and the Orca Hardware 3654 Swirl robe hook is from the 36-Swirl Series. Both are wall-mount robe hooks and read as close cousins on a shelf, but the BBS2010 is a double hook rather than a single, and the Orca Swirl carries its own series styling rather than an Emtek rosette. The Emtek Transitional hook is defined by the rosette it sits on - Regular, Small Regular, Disk, Small Disk, Oval, Rectangular, Modern Rectangular, Square, #8, Quincy, Watford or Wilshire - so if the point of the specification is matching rosettes already on the doors, neither of those substitutes carries that shape.

Solid brass, both material and substrate, with the finish applied over it. Brass is the reason it holds up in a bathroom where a plated steel hook rusts at the fastener holes, and it is why the unlacquered option can patina rather than flake.

Every one of the twelve rosette shapes and seven finishes is an orderable combination on the Emtek Transitional single hook, so Flat Black (US19) with a single chosen rosette can be repeated across bathrooms, bedrooms and entry walls in a unit. Specify one rosette shape and one finish code and the hooks read identically opening to opening.
