72-Inch Door Pulls
72-inch door pulls provide an extra-long hardware option for large doors and architectural entrances where a shorter pull may not suit the scale of the opening. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection includes 72-inch door pulls from Emtek and Sure-Loc in round, square, and knurled profiles, with single-sided, standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, back-to-back, and double-sided configurations available.
Because a 72-inch pull is a substantial piece of door hardware, shoppers should compare more than the length shown in the product name. Overall length, center-to-center mounting distance, projection, grip dimensions, door thickness, mounting configuration, and finish can vary by manufacturer and model. Review the complete specifications before drilling or ordering. For additional sizes, browse our complete door pulls collection.
Why Choose 72-Inch Door Pulls?
A 72-inch door handle creates a strong architectural presence and can provide appropriate visual scale for tall or oversized doors. Emtek specifically offers its long-pull collection for larger and high-end pivot entry doors, while Sure-Loc's current 72-inch designs are intended for large entry or interior doors. The best option depends on the door dimensions, mounting requirements, grip style, and surrounding hardware.
- Extra-long proportions: At approximately six feet in length on many models, a 72-inch pull can complement tall entry doors, pivot doors, and other oversized openings where smaller hardware may appear out of proportion.
- Round and square profiles: Both Emtek and Sure-Loc offer clean round and square designs for contemporary and modern architectural applications.
- Knurled options: Sure-Loc adds a textured knurled profile for shoppers who prefer a more tactile and visually detailed grip.
- Multiple mounting configurations: Current products include standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, single-sided, back-to-back, and double-sided configurations.
- Stainless steel construction: The current Emtek long-pull family is stainless steel, while the Sure-Loc products reviewed in this collection specify 304 stainless steel construction.
- Several finish choices: Shoppers can compare black, stainless steel, chrome, and brass-tone finishes, with availability depending on the selected manufacturer and design.
Types of 72-Inch Door Pulls Available
Single-Sided Door Pulls
Single-sided pulls provide a grip on one side of the door. The current Sure-Loc collection includes round, square, and knurled 72-inch single-sided models. Depending on the design, these products support concealed surface mounting or through-bolt installation with decorative caps. Check the individual specifications to confirm the mounting method and door-thickness requirements.
Back-to-Back & Double-Sided Door Pulls
Back-to-back and double-sided configurations provide coordinated pulls on both sides of the door. Emtek offers back-to-back round and square 72-inch pulls, while Sure-Loc offers double-sided round, square, and knurled models. Because the two grips connect through the door, door thickness and mounting preparation are especially important when choosing this configuration.
Concealed Surface Mount Door Pulls
Emtek offers concealed surface mount versions of its 72-inch round and square pulls. This configuration conceals the mounting screws on the installed face for a cleaner appearance. Emtek's current concealed 72-inch square pull uses a 60-inch center-to-center mounting dimension and specifies a minimum door thickness of 1-1/4 inches.
Standard Through-Bolt Door Pulls
Emtek's standard 72-inch long pulls use through-bolt mounting with decorative caps. The current round and square designs measure 72 inches overall with 60-inch center-to-center spacing. Emtek also supplies an optional disc base with these long-pull designs.
Knurled 72-Inch Door Pulls
Sure-Loc's knurled long pulls provide an alternative to a smooth round or square grip. Current 72-inch knurled models have a listed 72-inch overall height, 60-inch center-to-center spacing, a 1-1/8-inch bar diameter, and 2-3/4-inch projection. They are available in both single-sided and double-sided configurations.
How to Choose the Right 72-Inch Door Pull
Begin with the door dimensions and installation requirements, then compare center-to-center spacing, mounting style, projection, profile, and finish. A 72-inch product name should not be used as the drilling specification by itself.
- Check overall length and center-to-center spacing: These are separate measurements. Emtek's current 72-inch pulls measure 72 inches overall with 60-inch center-to-center mounting. Other products should be checked individually.
- Select the mounting configuration: Determine whether the project calls for a single-sided pull, standard through-bolt installation, concealed surface mounting, or a pull on both sides of the door.
- Confirm door thickness: Compatible thickness varies by manufacturer and mounting method. Do not assume that every 72-inch pull fits the same range of doors.
- Review projection: Consider how far the pull extends from the face of the door and check clearance from adjacent walls, sidelights, doors, frames, locks, and other hardware.
- Choose the grip profile: Round, square, and knurled designs create different visual and tactile characteristics. Consider both appearance and how the grip will feel in everyday use.
- Coordinate the finish: Compare the pull with hinges, locks, deadbolts, and other visible hardware. Use the exact manufacturer finish designation when a coordinated appearance is important.
Materials, Styles & Finishes
The current 72-inch door pull collection is represented by stainless steel designs from Emtek and Sure-Loc. Emtek's long-pull family uses stainless steel construction in round and square profiles. Current Sure-Loc round, square, and knurled product listings identify the pulls as 304 stainless steel.
The live collection currently includes finish options shown as Brushed Stainless Steel, Flat Black, Polished Chrome, Polished Stainless Steel, Satin Brass, Satin Brass Stainless Steel, and Satin Stainless Steel. The available choices vary by manufacturer and profile. For example, Emtek's current long-pull collection includes Flat Black, Brushed Stainless Steel, Satin Brass Stainless Steel, and Polished Stainless Steel, while Sure-Loc offers its own model-specific finish combinations.
Finish names from different manufacturers should not automatically be treated as exact matches. Satin Brass and Satin Brass Stainless Steel, or Satin Stainless Steel and Brushed Stainless Steel, may differ in color, texture, or sheen. Use the exact manufacturer finish when coordinating the pull with other visible hardware.
Featured 72-Inch Door Pull Brands
The current Coastal Hardware collection includes an even assortment of Emtek and Sure-Loc 72-inch pulls. The two manufacturers provide different profile, mounting, dimensional, and finish options within this extra-long size category.
- Emtek: Emtek offers stainless steel 72-inch long pulls in round and square profiles. Current options include standard through-bolt, concealed surface mount, and back-to-back configurations. Emtek identifies 72 inches as the overall length for this family, with 60-inch center-to-center spacing.
- Sure-Loc: Sure-Loc offers round, square, and knurled 72-inch long pulls in single-sided and double-sided configurations. Current products are specified as 304 stainless steel and provide additional finish and grip-style choices within the collection.
Installation & Compatibility
Installation requirements vary considerably among extra-long door pulls. Before ordering, confirm the overall length, center-to-center mounting distance, projection, grip dimensions, door thickness, fasteners, and mounting method for the exact product. Do not drill a door using the “72-inch” designation alone.
Emtek's current manufacturer literature identifies its 72-inch round and square pulls as 72 inches overall with 60-inch center-to-center mounting. Standard and back-to-back configurations are specified for door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches, with thicker applications requiring additional specification. The current concealed surface mount product listing specifies a minimum door thickness of 1-1/4 inches.
Sure-Loc dimensions and mounting information should be checked by individual model. Current round and knurled 72-inch listings specify 60-inch center-to-center spacing and door thicknesses from 1/2 inch to 2-1/4 inches. Because specifications are not identical across every Sure-Loc profile, use the dimensional information for the exact SKU rather than assuming that all 72-inch models share the same preparation.
Shipping & Warranty Information

- Warranty: Warranty coverage varies by manufacturer, product, and finish. Review the individual product page and applicable Emtek or Sure-Loc warranty information for the specific pull and finish being considered.
Frequently Asked Questions About 72-Inch Door Pulls
Is a 72-inch door pull six feet long?
Many products in this collection use a 72-inch overall height or length, which equals six feet. Emtek's current 72-inch round and square pulls, for example, measure 72 inches overall. Always check the individual product specifications because product naming and dimensional conventions can vary.
What is the center-to-center measurement of a 72-inch door pull?
It depends on the product. Emtek's current 72-inch long pulls have 60-inch center-to-center mounting, and current Sure-Loc round and knurled 72-inch models also list 60-inch center-to-center spacing. Always verify the exact product before drilling because dimensions can vary by profile and manufacturer.
What is the difference between single-sided and back-to-back door pulls?
A single-sided pull provides a grip on one side of the door. A back-to-back or double-sided configuration provides pulls on both sides that connect through the door. Door thickness, mounting hardware, and preparation requirements vary by product.
Can 72-inch door pulls be used on large entry or pivot doors?
Yes, when the selected pull and mounting configuration are appropriate for the door. Emtek specifically positions its long door pulls for larger and high-end pivot entry doors, and Sure-Loc describes its long pulls for large entry or interior doors. Confirm door thickness, construction, preparation, and product specifications before purchase.
What materials are available for 72-inch door pulls?
The products currently represented in this collection are stainless steel designs. Emtek offers stainless steel long pulls, while current Sure-Loc 72-inch listings specify 304 stainless steel. If the collection changes, check each product individually rather than assuming every 72-inch pull uses the same material.
What should I measure before ordering a 72-inch door pull?
Confirm the overall length, center-to-center mounting distance, door thickness, available mounting area, projection, and clearance around the handle. Also verify the mounting configuration and any product-specific drilling or fastener requirements before installation.
