Door Pulls

Door Pulls for Entry, Interior & Architectural Doors

Door pulls provide a direct, easy-to-grip way to operate a door while adding a visible architectural element to the opening. This collection ranges from compact decorative pulls to long statement handles for larger doors, giving shoppers options for entry doors, interior doors, pivot doors, and other compatible applications. Available designs include round, square, smooth, knurled, offset, traditional, modern, and bronze profiles in several mounting configurations.

Coastal Hardware Store carries door pulls from Emtek, Deltana, and Sure-Loc, and we are an authorized dealer for every manufacturer represented in the collection. Current size categories range from 6-inch pulls through 72-inch long door pulls, but the listed size does not always represent the same measurement. Depending on the product, it may refer to center-to-center mounting spacing or overall pull length. Always review the complete dimensions before drilling or ordering. For more focused shopping, compare our 8-inch door pulls, 24-inch door pulls, 48-inch door pulls, and 72-inch door pulls.

Why Choose a Door Pull?

Door pulls can work well when you want a larger gripping surface, a clean architectural look, or hardware that operates independently from a separate latch or locking system. The right pull depends on the door size, mounting method, construction, thickness, required grip arrangement, and surrounding hardware.

• Wide range of sizes: The current collection includes compact pulls as well as 24-inch, 36-inch, 42-inch, 48-inch, and 72-inch long door pulls for larger-scale installations.
• Single- and double-sided options: Shoppers can choose products designed for one face of the door or back-to-back configurations with a pull on both sides.
• Multiple mounting methods: Current products include thru-bolt, concealed-surface, back-to-back, and manufacturer-specific offset mounting arrangements.
• Broad design selection: The assortment includes simple round and square bars, knurled grips, decorative traditional pulls, wrought-steel designs, and bronze styles.
• Finish coordination: Door pulls are available in black, brass, nickel, chrome, stainless-steel, bronze, and other manufacturer-specific finishes for coordinating with nearby hardware.
• Flexible architectural scale: A smaller pull can remain visually understated, while an oversized long door pull can become a defining feature on a tall or wide door.

Types of Door Pulls Available

Compact & Standard Door Pulls

Smaller door pulls can provide a comfortable grip without dominating the door visually. The current assortment includes 6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18-inch product categories. Many Emtek 8-inch designs use an 8-inch center-to-center mounting dimension while having a somewhat greater overall length, so do not assume the category size is the complete exterior measurement.

Long & Oversized Door Pulls

Long door pulls are available in current categories that include 24, 36, 42, 48, and 72 inches. These larger profiles are often considered when a tall, wide, or visually substantial door calls for hardware with greater scale. However, overall length and mounting-hole spacing can differ significantly. A 48-inch or 72-inch pull should never be drilled from its product title alone; use the dimensional specifications for the exact model.

Single-Sided Door Pulls

A single-sided door pull provides a grip on one face of the door. Current Sure-Loc and Deltana products include single-sided configurations, while many Emtek pulls can also be ordered in an appropriate single-pull mounting arrangement. The opposite face may show decorative mounting hardware or may use a concealed system, depending on the product. Confirm the mounting style before ordering if the appearance on both sides of the door is important.

Back-to-Back Door Pulls

Back-to-back door pulls provide a grip on both sides of the same door. The two pulls are typically connected through the door using product-specific fasteners or mating hardware. Current Emtek, Deltana, and Sure-Loc products include back-to-back or double-sided configurations. Verify the finished door thickness and drilling requirements because the mounting hardware must properly connect both grips.

Concealed, Offset & Specialty Pulls

Selected door pulls use mounting arrangements beyond a conventional visible thru-bolt. Emtek currently offers concealed-surface versions of several pull designs, Deltana offers offset single- and back-to-back pulls, and Sure-Loc offers selected single-sided long pulls that can be concealed-surface or thru-bolt mounted. These configurations are not interchangeable, so select the pull according to the required installation rather than appearance alone.

How to Choose the Right Door Pull

Start with the door and mounting requirements, then narrow your choices by size, grip style, finish, and manufacturer. The same nominal size can represent different center-to-center dimensions, overall lengths, and projections, making the dimensional drawing one of the most important parts of the purchase.

• Determine what the stated size means: Check whether the product is identified by overall length, center-to-center mounting distance, or another manufacturer-specific measurement. Never assume those measurements are identical.
• Choose single- or double-sided operation: Decide whether a pull is required on one face or both faces of the door before selecting the mounting configuration.
• Measure the finished door thickness: Supported thickness varies by product. Include veneers, cladding, decorative panels, or other layers that affect the finished mounting dimension.
• Check projection and clearances: Confirm that the pull will clear the door frame, locks, weatherstripping, sidelights, adjacent doors, and other hardware throughout the complete door swing.
• Identify the door construction: Mounting hardware for a wood door should not automatically be used on glass, metal, aluminum, or another substrate. Verify that the exact product and mounting kit support the intended door.
• Coordinate the full opening: Compare the pull with nearby deadbolts, smart locks, hinges, house numbers, door closers, and other visible hardware. When a separate locking or latching system is required, confirm compatibility independently.

Materials, Styles & Finishes

This collection does not use one universal material. Emtek's door-pull catalog includes brass, stainless-steel, and bronze product families, while current Sure-Loc long pulls include products made from 304 stainless steel. Deltana also offers stainless-steel pull designs within the current assortment. Review the individual product specifications whenever the underlying material is important to the project.

Available styles range from minimal round and square bars to knurled industrial-inspired grips and more decorative architectural forms. Emtek contributes many of the traditional, bronze, wrought-steel, and design-focused options, while Deltana and Sure-Loc expand the collection with contemporary straight, offset, round, square, and oversized pull configurations.

Current collection filters include Antique Brass, Antique Nickel, Brushed Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Stainless Steel, Flat Black, French Antique, Lifetime Polished Brass, Lifetime Polished Nickel, Medium Bronze Patina, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Paint Black, Pewter, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Stainless Steel, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel, Satin Stainless Steel, Satin Steel, Tumbled White Bronze, Unlacquered Brass, and additional product-specific finishes.

Similar finish names from different manufacturers may not match exactly in color, sheen, texture, or aging characteristics. Patina, bronze, and unlacquered finishes may also change over time. Use the manufacturer's exact finish designation and review its care instructions when coordinating several pieces of hardware.

Featured Door Pull Brands

The current Door Pulls collection includes Emtek, Deltana, and Sure-Loc. Coastal Hardware Store is an authorized dealer for all three manufacturers. Each brand offers a different mix of sizes, materials, mounting methods, design styles, and finish choices.

• Emtek: Emtek represents the largest portion of the current collection and offers a broad range of compact and long pulls. Designs include Hercules Smooth and Knurled, Baden, Urban Modern, Wilshire, Ribbon & Reed, Arts & Crafts, Knoxville, Round and Square Long Pulls, and multiple bronze and wrought-steel families. Supported mounting options vary by design.
• Deltana: Deltana's current assortment includes contemporary straight pulls and modern or round offset pulls in single-sided and back-to-back configurations. Several products are specifically identified by their center-to-center dimensions, making the manufacturer's dimensional information important when comparing them with other brands.
• Sure-Loc: Sure-Loc currently offers larger round, square, and knurled long pulls, including single- and double-sided configurations. Representative products use 304 stainless steel and provide product-specific center-to-center spacing, projection, and door-thickness ranges.

Installation & Compatibility

Door-pull installation varies considerably by manufacturer and model. Before drilling, confirm the product's center-to-center mounting dimension, overall length, projection, grip diameter or width, mounting-base dimensions, finished door-thickness range, screw or thread requirements, and any optional caps, bases, washers, or adapters.

The relationship between overall length and drilling spacing deserves particular attention. For example, a current Emtek 48-inch Square Door Pull is 48 inches overall but uses 36-inch center-to-center mounting. A current Deltana 24-inch offset pull is 24 inches high with 22½-inch center-to-center spacing. Other Deltana products are specifically sold by a stated center-to-center dimension. Always prepare the door using the exact product drawing or template.

Door construction matters as well. Deltana states that the mounting hardware supplied with one current offset-pull series is intended for wood doors. Sure-Loc long pulls have their own specified mounting arrangements and door-thickness limits. Do not assume that hardware supplied for a wood door is appropriate for glass, metal, aluminum, or another substrate.

For retrofit installations, verify more than the distance between existing holes. New pulls may use different stem diameters, bases, fasteners, thread sizes, projections, or visible mounting caps even when the center-to-center measurement matches. For glass doors, metal fabrication, custom pivot doors, or other specialty installations, confirm all preparation requirements before the door is drilled or manufactured.

Frequently Asked Questions About Door Pulls

What size door pull should I choose?

The right size depends on the door dimensions, available mounting area, architectural scale, and intended use. The current collection includes size categories from 6 inches through 72 inches. Larger doors may visually accommodate longer pulls, while smaller doors may work better with compact hardware. Always compare the complete dimensions rather than choosing by nominal size alone.

Does the listed door-pull size mean center-to-center?

Not always. Some products are specifically sized by center-to-center mounting distance, while others use overall pull length in the product name. For example, a 48-inch overall pull may use substantially shorter mounting-hole spacing. Check the center-to-center and overall dimensions for the exact product before drilling.

What is a back-to-back door pull?

A back-to-back or double-sided pull configuration places a grip on both faces of the door, with the two pulls connected through the door using manufacturer-specific mounting hardware. Confirm the door thickness, center-to-center spacing, fastener system, and orientation before ordering.

What is the difference between thru-bolt and concealed mounting?

Thru-bolt mounting uses fasteners that pass through the door and may include decorative caps or hardware visible on the opposite face. Concealed-surface mounting is designed to reduce or eliminate visible mounting hardware on the opposite side. Exact preparation and minimum door-thickness requirements vary by product.

Can door pulls be installed on glass or metal doors?

Some door pulls can be used with glass, metal, or other specialty doors when the manufacturer provides a compatible mounting method or hardware package. This is not universal across the collection. Verify the product, door material, thickness, drilling requirements, and mounting hardware before fabrication or installation.

What finishes are available for door pulls?

The current collection includes black, brass, nickel, chrome, stainless-steel, bronze, pewter, patina, and unlacquered finish options, among others. Availability varies by brand and product. When coordinating multiple pieces of hardware, use the exact manufacturer finish name rather than assuming similarly named finishes will match.
