36-Inch Door Pulls
36-inch door pulls provide substantial proportions for larger doors and architectural entrances where a longer handle better suits the scale of the opening. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection includes 36-inch door pulls from Emtek and Deltana in round, square, straight, and offset profiles, with standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, single-sided, and back-to-back configurations available.
When comparing 36-inch door handles, pay close attention to how each manufacturer defines the size. On some products, 36 inches refers to the overall length of the pull; on others, it refers to the center-to-center mounting dimension. Overall length, center-to-center spacing, projection, door thickness, mounting method, material, and finish should all be reviewed before ordering.

Why Choose 36-Inch Door Pulls?
A 36-inch pull creates a strong visual presence while providing a generous gripping area for larger doors. The right pull depends on the proportions and construction of the door, the required mounting configuration, and the overall architectural design.
- Large-scale proportions: A 36-inch door pull can complement oversized entry doors, pivot doors, and other substantial openings where a shorter handle may appear undersized.
- Multiple mounting configurations: The current collection includes standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, single-sided, and back-to-back options for different door preparations.
- Round and square profiles: Emtek offers its stainless steel long door pulls in both round and square profiles, providing two clean contemporary design options.
- Straight and offset designs: Deltana adds straight Extra Large Contemporary pulls as well as round and modern offset configurations.
- Back-to-back options: Several products include a pull on each side of the door, creating a coordinated hardware appearance from both directions.
- Multiple finish choices: Current options include brushed and polished stainless steel, black finishes, and Satin Brass Stainless Steel, depending on the manufacturer and model.
Types of 36-Inch Door Pulls Available
Standard Through-Bolt Door Pulls
Emtek offers standard-mount 36-inch round and square pulls using through-bolt mounting with decorative caps. These pulls have a 36-inch overall length and 24-inch center-to-center mounting dimension. An optional disc base is included with the current Emtek design, providing another visual option at the mounting points.
Concealed Surface Mount Door Pulls
For an installation where visible mounting screws are minimized, the current collection includes Emtek concealed surface mount round and square pulls. These models retain the 36-inch overall length and 24-inch center-to-center spacing of the corresponding Emtek long pulls but use concealed mounting hardware. Review door-thickness and installation requirements carefully before choosing this configuration.
Back-to-Back Door Pulls
Back-to-back configurations place a pull on each side of the door and connect the hardware through the opening. Coastal Hardware currently carries back-to-back Emtek round and square pulls as well as Deltana straight and offset designs. Because door-thickness requirements and mounting hardware vary by product, review the specifications for the exact model before ordering.
36-Inch Center-to-Center Door Pulls
Deltana's Extra Large Contemporary Pulls use a true 36-inch center-to-center mounting dimension. These models measure approximately 37-7/16 inches overall and are offered in single-sided and back-to-back configurations. This is an important distinction from Emtek's 36-inch pulls, where 36 inches refers to overall length rather than mounting-hole spacing.
Offset Door Pulls
Deltana's 36-inch collection also includes round and modern offset back-to-back pulls. The offset configuration positions the gripping portion of the pull differently from a conventional straight handle. The current 36-inch Round Offset Pull has 30-inch center-to-center spacing, while the Modern Offset Pull has 34-1/2-inch center-to-center spacing, so the two designs should not be considered interchangeable based on overall length alone.
How to Choose the Right 36-Inch Door Pull
Start by confirming the door construction and mounting requirements, then compare the pull's dimensions, mounting configuration, profile, and finish. Because products within this collection use several different dimensional standards, measuring carefully before ordering is especially important.
- Determine what “36-inch” means: Check whether 36 inches refers to overall length or center-to-center mounting. Both types are represented in the current collection.
- Measure the center-to-center spacing: Center-to-center, often abbreviated CTC, is the distance between the centers of the mounting points. This measurement is especially important when replacing existing hardware.
- Select the mounting configuration: Determine whether the project requires a standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, single-sided, or back-to-back pull.
- Check door thickness: Compatible door thickness differs between products and mounting systems. Review the manufacturer's stated requirements before ordering.
- Consider projection and clearance: Check how far the pull projects from the door and make sure there is adequate clearance from adjacent doors, walls, frames, sidelights, or other hardware.
- Coordinate the finish: Compare the pull with hinges, locks, deadbolts, and other visible hardware. Use the manufacturer's exact finish designation when close coordination is important.
Materials, Styles & Finishes
The current 36-inch door pull collection consists of stainless steel designs from Emtek and Deltana. Emtek's long-pull family uses stainless steel construction in round and square profiles, while Deltana's Extra Large Contemporary and offset door pulls are also identified by the manufacturer as stainless steel products.
Current collection finish options include Brushed Stainless Steel, Polished Stainless Steel, Flat Black, Paint Black, and Satin Brass Stainless Steel. Available finishes vary by manufacturer and model. Emtek's long-pull collection offers Flat Black Stainless Steel, Brushed Stainless Steel, Satin Brass Stainless Steel, and Polished Stainless Steel, while the current Deltana products are represented in Paint Black and Brushed Stainless Steel.
Finish terminology differs between manufacturers. Flat Black and Paint Black, for example, should not automatically be treated as identical finishes. When coordinating hardware across different brands or collections, compare the exact manufacturer finish information rather than relying on the general finish name alone.

Installation & Compatibility
Installation requirements vary significantly among the 36-inch door pulls in this collection. Before ordering, compare overall length, center-to-center spacing, projection, door thickness, mounting configuration, and included hardware with the actual door. A product being described as a 36-inch pull does not mean it will match another 36-inch model's mounting preparation.
For example, the current Emtek 36-inch standard pull has a 36-inch overall length with 24-inch center-to-center mounting and is specified for a 1-3/4-inch door in its standard through-bolt configuration. Emtek's concealed surface mount version uses the same overall and center-to-center dimensions but specifies a minimum door thickness of 1-1/4 inches. Always use the specifications for the exact mounting configuration being ordered.
Deltana dimensions also vary by style. Its Extra Large Contemporary model uses 36-inch center-to-center spacing and measures 37-7/16 inches overall, while its 36-inch Round Offset and Modern Offset pulls have 30-inch and 34-1/2-inch center-to-center measurements respectively. Measure and plan the mounting locations before drilling the door.

Frequently Asked Questions About 36-Inch Door Pulls
Does 36 inches mean overall length or center-to-center spacing?
It depends on the product. Emtek's current 36-inch round and square long pulls measure 36 inches overall and have 24-inch center-to-center mounting. Deltana's Extra Large Contemporary Pull uses 36-inch center-to-center spacing and measures 37-7/16 inches overall. Always review both measurements before ordering.
What mounting options are available for 36-inch door pulls?
The current collection includes standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, single-sided, and back-to-back configurations. Available mounting options vary by manufacturer and model, so choose the configuration that matches the door preparation and installation requirements.
What is the difference between single-sided and back-to-back door pulls?
A single-sided configuration provides a pull on one side of the door. A back-to-back configuration provides a pull on both sides and connects the hardware through the door. Confirm the required door thickness, mounting preparation, and included hardware for the specific model before ordering.
Can 36-inch door pulls be used on large entry or pivot doors?
Yes, when the selected product is appropriate for the door. Emtek specifically offers its long door pulls for larger-scale and high-end pivot entry applications. Door material, thickness, mounting preparation, and any project-specific requirements should still be confirmed before purchase.
What finishes are available for 36-inch door pulls?
The current collection includes Brushed Stainless Steel, Polished Stainless Steel, Flat Black, Paint Black, and Satin Brass Stainless Steel, depending on the manufacturer and product. Finish availability varies, and similarly named finishes from different manufacturers may not match exactly.
What should I measure before ordering a 36-inch door pull?
Confirm the overall pull length, center-to-center mounting distance, door thickness, available mounting area, and any required clearance around the pull. Also verify the mounting configuration and product-specific installation requirements. These measurements are especially important when replacing an existing pull and reusing current mounting holes.
