Emtek Wrought Steel Normandy 8" Door Pull

Three mounting choices, and you pick one when you order. Standard mounting is thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the fasteners pass through the door and finish with a cap on the back face. Back-to-back (BTB) pairs a pull on each side of the door sharing the same bolts. Concealed surface (CS) mounts from the face with no visible fastener heads. There is also a door thickness field on the order so the correct bolt length comes with the set, so measure the slab before you order the thru-bolt or back-to-back versions.

The Deltana OHP620 off-set handle pull ships as a back-to-back set and is specified for doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch thick. The Emtek Normandy is an 8 inch center-to-center wrought steel pull that also has a back-to-back mounting option alongside its standard thru-bolt configuration, and it takes a door thickness entry when ordering. If the door falls outside 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch, the Normandy back-to-back is the one that follows the thickness you specify.

Look at the Ives heavy duty pulls. The 8103HD is a 1 inch round straight pull with through-bolt mounting, the 8102HD is a 3/4 inch round bar straight pull with 1-1/2 inch clearance, and the 8169 is a C style offset solid pull at 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting. The ABH AB3300 is a 1.00 inch diameter straight flat end commercial door pull. The Emtek Normandy is a wrought steel pull specified for residential use, so for a high-traffic commercial opening the heavy duty Ives or ABH pulls are the ones sized for that service.

Back-to-back is the choice when the door gets pulled from both faces, an interior passage or a door with no latch set on either side. The Emtek Normandy back-to-back version puts a matching 8 inch pull on each face through one set of bolts. Single-side standard mounting is what you want when the other face carries a lever, a knob, or a push plate instead. Order the mounting style with the pull, since it changes the hardware in the box, not just the look.

Yes. The Normandy is classified as a door or appliance pull, so the same 8 inch center to center pull works on a refrigerator panel, a pantry door, or a large cabinet door as long as the substrate takes the mounting method you choose. On a cabinet or appliance panel, the concealed surface version is usually what you want, since thru-bolting a finished panel is not an option.

The pull projects 2 inches from the door face, which is the total standoff. Subtract the thickness of the steel bar itself and that is what your fingers get. It is enough for a normal grab on a residential entry or barn door, but if you need a pull someone can hook a full gloved hand or a forearm through, look at a heavy duty commercial pull instead, like the Ives 8102HD, which is listed with 1-1/2 inch clearance behind a 3/4 inch round bar.

BTB76031FBS is the back-to-back set in Flat Black Steel, and BTB76031SWS is the same in Satin Steel. Standard thru-bolt versions are 76031FBS and 76031SWS, and the concealed surface versions are CS76031FBS and CS76031SWS. The mounting style is carried in the prefix, so the base number 76031 stays the same across all six.

Yes, and that is usually how it gets done. All six Normandy configurations share the same 8 inch body and the same two finishes, so a concealed surface pull on a cabinet, a thru-bolt on the entry, and a back-to-back on a pass-through door all read as one family in Flat Black or Satin Steel. Only the mounting hardware differs. Specify the door thickness on the thru-bolt and back-to-back orders so the bolts suit each slab.

The ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle, 7/8 inch diameter, with through-bolt mounting, and the Cal-Royal PUL-175 is stainless steel construction. The Emtek Normandy is wrought steel and comes in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel finishes, with thru-bolt standard mounting plus back-to-back and concealed surface options. Both the Normandy and the AB7200 through-bolt the door; the difference is the substrate and the finished appearance.

An offset pull sets the grip out away from the mounting posts on an angle or a bend. The Ives 8145 is a 45 degree offset pull with heavy duty mounting hardware and is ADA compliant, the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end pull and the AB3330 is an offset round end pull with custom length options, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 and SSPORBB24 are 24 inch back-to-back offset pulls in modern and round profiles. The Emtek Normandy is a wrought steel pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection, mounted thru-bolt. Where a drawing calls out an ADA offset grip, the Ives 8145 is the one that carries that compliance.

They do different jobs on the door. The Trimco 1001-1 heavy duty push plate is a 3 inch by 12 inch flat plate and the Trimco 1041 half-round push plate is 8 inch by 16 inch; a push plate gives a hand a place to press on the swing side and offers nothing to grip. The Emtek Normandy is a grip pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection, so the hand wraps it and draws the door. If the same door needs both actions, the Trimco 1070 series is supplied as classic push/pull plates at 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch.

The Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull mounted on a single side, and the Deltana SSPOBB24 and SSPORBB24 are 24 inch pulls supplied back-to-back in modern offset and round offset profiles. The ABH AB3330 series offset round end pull is available with custom length options. The Emtek Normandy is fixed at an 8 inch center-to-center in wrought steel, so a taller grip means moving to one of those longer models rather than a size change within the Normandy.

The Emtek Normandy is offered in a concealed surface mounting version in both Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel, alongside the standard thru-bolt with decorative caps and the back-to-back set. Among the comparable pulls, the ABH AB7200 and the Ives 8103HD are specified with through-bolt mounting, which carries fasteners through the door. If the opposite face has to stay clean, the concealed surface Normandy is the one that does it.

Steel throughout. Both the material and the substrate are steel, so the Flat Black and Satin Steel finishes sit on a steel body, not on zinc or brass. That matters if the pull is going on an exterior door or a shop entrance where it takes weather and repeated handling.
