42 Inch Door Pulls

42-Inch Door Pulls for Large Doors

42-inch door pulls provide an extended gripping surface and a proportionally larger hardware profile for doors that call for substantial pull hardware. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection features Deltana Extra Large Contemporary Pulls with 42-inch center-to-center mounting, available in single-sided and back-to-back configurations.

Both current Deltana designs are manufactured from stainless steel and use a substantial 1-1/2-inch square bar. Although these products are commonly referred to as 42-inch door pulls, the 42-inch measurement refers to the distance between the mounting centers; the actual overall length is 43-1/2 inches.

Why Choose 42-Inch Door Pulls?

A long door pull can provide a visually proportional hardware choice for larger doors while offering an extended gripping area. The current Deltana assortment keeps the design streamlined, with the primary choices being mounting configuration and finish.

• 42-inch center-to-center mounting: Both current products use 42 inches between the mounting centers for a substantial architectural scale.
• 43-1/2-inch overall length: The complete pull measures 43-1/2 inches from end to end, so overall size should be considered separately from mounting-hole spacing.
• Single-sided and back-to-back options: Choose a pull for one face of the door or a coordinated back-to-back set with pulls on both sides.
• Stainless-steel construction: Deltana specifies both current models as stainless steel.
• Substantial square profile: Both pulls use a 1-1/2-inch square bar with a contemporary geometric appearance.
• Two current finishes: The collection currently includes Paint Black and Brushed Stainless Steel.

Types of 42-Inch Door Pulls Available

Single-Sided 42-Inch Door Pulls

The Deltana SSP4215 Extra Large Contemporary Pull provides a single pull on one face of the door. It has 42-inch center-to-center mounting, an overall length of 43-1/2 inches, a 1-1/2-inch square bar, and a 3-1/2-inch projection. A single-sided configuration can be considered when a projecting pull is required on only one side of the opening.

Back-to-Back 42-Inch Door Pulls

The Deltana SSPBB4215 provides a matching pull on each side of the door as a back-to-back set. It shares the same 42-inch center-to-center measurement, 43-1/2-inch overall length, 1-1/2-inch square profile, and 3-1/2-inch projection as the single-sided version. This configuration is intended for applications where a full-size pull is needed from both directions.

Contemporary Square-Bar Door Pulls

Both current 42-inch options use Deltana's contemporary square-bar design. The 1-1/2-inch profile creates a more substantial appearance than the smaller contemporary pulls in the manufacturer's range. If the dimensions or scale of a 42-inch pull are too large for your door, compare other door-pull sizes before preparing permanent mounting holes.

How to Choose the Right 42-Inch Door Pull

Start by confirming the required mounting centers and overall scale, then determine whether the opening calls for a single-sided or back-to-back configuration. Door thickness, projection, mounting surface, finish, and installation requirements should also be reviewed before ordering.

• Measure center to center: These Deltana pulls use 42-inch mounting centers. Measure from the center of one mounting point to the center of the other rather than using the pull's total length.
• Check the overall length: Both current pulls are 43-1/2 inches overall. Make sure there is enough uninterrupted door surface for the complete hardware.
• Select the mounting configuration: Choose the single-sided model when a pull is required on one face or the back-to-back set when matching pulls are needed on both sides.
• Review door thickness: The current Coastal Hardware Store listings identify these pulls for doors up to 3 inches thick. Confirm the exact installation requirements for your selected configuration before ordering.
• Allow for projection: Both models project approximately 3-1/2 inches from the door. Check surrounding walls, trim, frames, and adjacent hardware for adequate clearance.
• Select the finish: Current choices are Paint Black and Brushed Stainless Steel. Coordinate the selected finish with other visible hardware when a consistent appearance is preferred.

Materials, Styles & Finishes

The two products currently in this collection are Deltana Extra Large Contemporary Pulls manufactured from stainless steel. Both use a 1-1/2-inch square bar with 42-inch center-to-center mounting, 43-1/2-inch overall length, and 3-1/2-inch projection. The primary difference between them is whether the hardware is configured as a single-sided pull or a back-to-back set.

Current collection filters show two finishes: Paint Black and Brushed Stainless Steel. Paint Black provides a dark, uniform appearance, while Brushed Stainless Steel retains the characteristic appearance of brushed stainless hardware. No polished chrome, brass, bronze, or other finishes are currently represented in this 42-inch collection.

Featured 42-Inch Door Pull Options

The current assortment is focused on two Deltana products that share the same size, material, and contemporary square-bar profile while offering different mounting configurations.

• Deltana 42" CTC Extra Large Contemporary Pull, Single Side: A stainless-steel pull sold individually with 42-inch mounting centers, 43-1/2-inch overall length, a 1-1/2-inch square bar, and 3-1/2-inch projection.
• Deltana 42" CTC Back-to-Back Extra Large Contemporary Pulls: A stainless-steel set providing matching pulls on both sides of the door with the same 42-inch centers, 43-1/2-inch length, 1-1/2-inch profile, and 3-1/2-inch projection.

For different proportions, browse our complete door pull collection and compare shorter or longer mounting-center options before selecting hardware for the door.

Installation & Compatibility

Before installation, confirm the 42-inch center-to-center measurement, 43-1/2-inch overall length, 1-1/2-inch bar size, 3-1/2-inch projection, door thickness, and selected mounting configuration. Center-to-center and overall measurements serve different purposes, and using the wrong measurement when laying out mounting holes can result in an incorrect door preparation.

Current Coastal Hardware Store product information states that both 42-inch Deltana pulls fit doors up to 3 inches thick and that mounting hardware for wood doors is included. Deltana's manufacturer information also references installation hardware for wood and glass doors. Because the exact hardware required can depend on the door material and configuration, verify the supplied mounting package before preparing a glass, metal, or other specialty door.

The single-sided and back-to-back versions should not automatically be treated as interchangeable installations. A back-to-back set connects hardware on opposite faces of the door, while the single-sided version uses a different mounting configuration. Follow the installation information for the exact model being ordered.

Shipping & Warranty Information

• Shipping: Both current Deltana 42-inch door pull product pages list an estimated fulfillment time of approximately 2-3 business days. Fulfillment can vary by finish or availability. Free ground shipping is available on qualifying orders over $99.99. View Shipping Policy.
• Warranty: Deltana's current general-products warranty provides a 1-year mechanical warranty against mechanical defects from the original purchase date when properly installed and used for the manufacturer's specified purpose. Deltana also provides one-year finish coverage for stainless-steel products under normal environmental conditions. In high-moisture or salty environments, Deltana specifies periodic cleaning with a clean, damp cloth to remove environmental buildup. Review the manufacturer's complete current warranty terms and exclusions before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions About 42-Inch Door Pulls
