Emtek Wrought Steel San Carlos 8" Door Pull

The San Carlos pull measures 8 inches center to center between the mounting posts, which is also its overall stated height of 8 inches. If you're drilling a new door, mark your two holes 8 inches apart on the vertical centerline. If you're replacing an existing pull, measure your current hole spacing first; anything other than 8 inches on center means new holes or a backplate.

Three mounting choices, and you pick one when you order. Standard mounting is thru-bolt with decorative caps: the bolts pass through the door and finish with visible caps on the opposite face. Back-to-back (BTB) pairs the pull with a matching pull on the other side, sharing the same thru-bolts, so both faces get a grip. Concealed surface (CS) mounts from the pull side only with no exposed fastener on the back, which is what you want on a door where the reverse face is finished, glass-backed, or already carries other hardware. The MPN carries the prefix: 76028 standard, BTB76028, CS76028.

Yes, for the thru-bolt versions. Standard mounting and back-to-back both run fasteners all the way through the door, so the bolt length has to match your slab. Door thickness is an entry you supply with the order. The concealed surface version mounts from one face and is the option to look at if your door thickness is unusual or you can't get to the back side.

No, order the back-to-back version once per leaf. BTB76028FBS or BTB76028SWS supplies both faces on a single door, sharing one set of thru-bolts through the 8 inch on-center holes, so you drill one pair of holes rather than two. For a pair of doors you'd need one BTB assembly per leaf. Ordering two standard pulls and trying to bolt them to each other is not the same part.

The Emtek San Carlos 8 inch wrought steel pull is designated for residential use. For a commercial opening, the Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull, 1 inch round, with through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull using a 3/4 inch round bar with 1-1/2 inch clearance. The ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull handle of 1.00 inch diameter built as a commercial door pull, and the ABH AB7200 is solid stainless steel, 7/8 inch diameter, with through-bolt mounting.

The San Carlos 8 inch wrought steel pull is available in a back-to-back mounting configuration, which puts a matching pull on each face of the door. The Deltana OHP620 Off-Set Handle Pull is also sold as a back-to-back set, and it carries a stated door thickness range of 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch, so it is the one to check against the actual door slab first. The San Carlos back-to-back version is ordered by the BTB prefix on the part number, as in BTB76028FBS in Flat Black Steel or BTB76028SWS in Satin Steel.

The San Carlos 8 inch is a residential wrought steel pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection. For an opening being detailed to ADA, the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware and is ADA compliant, which is the pull to put on the drawing when accessibility governs the hardware selection.

The San Carlos wrought steel pull is an 8 inch size with an 8 inch center-to-center. For longer runs, the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary pull mounted on a single side, and at the long end the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back modern offset pull and the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back round offset pull. The ABH AB3330 offset round end pull is offered with custom length options if the opening needs a size between the standard steps.

Projection is 2 inches off the door face, measured to the outside of the grip, so actual knuckle room behind the bar is less than that. It's a residential-scale pull. If you need a gloved-hand grip on a commercial opening, an Ives 8102HD straight pull is specified with 1-1/2 inch clearance behind the bar.

Two: Flat Black Steel (FBS) and Satin Steel (SWS). Both are available in all three mountings, so a flat black pull can be had standard thru-bolt (76028FBS), back-to-back (BTB76028FBS), or concealed surface (CS76028FBS), and the same three exist in satin steel. If you're matching hinges and levers already on the opening, these are steel finishes from the Wrought Steel collection, not brass or bronze plating.

Yes. It's classed as a door or appliance pull, and at 8 inches on center with a 2 inch projection it works on a refrigerator panel, a pantry front, or a large drawer as readily as on a passage door. Watch the mounting: an appliance panel usually can't take a thru-bolt, so the concealed surface version is the one to order there.

Solid wrought steel, both the substrate and the finish family. Steel is the point of the design, it's a rustic forged look rather than a plated casting, but steel is not stainless. On an exposed exterior opening or a coastal site, a stainless pull is the safer call: the ABH AB7200 is solid stainless steel, and Deltana's SSP1210 is a 12 inch contemporary single-side pull.

Eight inches center to center is a grab-with-one-hand size, right for an interior passage door, a pantry, or a barn door slab. On a tall glass or full-height entry where the design calls for a vertical ladder pull, look at longer stock: Deltana's SSPOBB24 is a 24 inch back-to-back offset set, and the SSPORBB24 is the round-profile version at the same length. If you want a matched look across a house, the San Carlos ships in one size at 8 inches.

It's a pull only, with no latching mechanism, no lock, and no electrified function. It gives you something to grab; the door still needs its own latch, deadbolt, roller catch, or magnetic catch to stay shut. On a barn or bypass door, that's typically a catch or a separate barn door lock, not this part.

The San Carlos 8 inch is a wrought steel pull with an 8 inch center-to-center and a 2 inch projection off the face of the door. Offset pulls carry the grip away from the mounting line at an angle: the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end door pull handle in a commercial grade surface mount, the ABH AB3330 is an offset round end pull with custom length options, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull at 1 inch diameter with heavy duty mounting. Choose between them on grip geometry and how far the hand needs to sit off the slab.

The San Carlos pull is wrought steel, finished as Flat Black Steel or Satin Steel. If the substrate needs to be stainless, the ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle at 7/8 inch diameter with through-bolt mounting, and the Cal-Royal PUL-175 is stainless steel construction, though that one is a night latch cylinder pull rather than a plain grip.

The San Carlos is sold as a pull, not as a push/pull set, so you'd pair the single-side standard mounting version with a separate push plate. For a matched commercial push/pull, Trimco's 1070 Series classic push/pull plates come as a 3-1/2 by 15 inch set, and the Trimco 1001-1 is a heavy duty push plate at 3 by 12 inches. Note that on a thru-bolt pull, the fastener caps land on the push side, so a plate on that face has to clear or cover them.

On the pull side you still need a grip, and the San Carlos 8 inch wrought steel pull covers that with an 8 inch center-to-center. On the push side, a plate takes the wear instead of a handle: the Trimco 1001-1 is a heavy duty push plate at 3 inches by 12 inches, and the Trimco 1041 is a heavy duty half-round push plate at 8 inches by 16 inches for a wider strike zone. The Trimco 1070 Series pairs classic push and pull plates at 3-1/2 inches by 15 inches.
