Emtek Tuscany bronze backplate defines this piece as a bronze mounting plate designed to sit behind a pull, so it visually frames the handle and gives the installation a consistent look. The part is identified by Emtek as 86236MB, which helps match it precisely to other Emtek components on a project. The backplate is described as a Tuscany bronze style, so it ties into that specific Emtek design family when coordinating hardware. It is specified as a backplate for a pull with a 3-1/2 inch center-to-center layout, so it is intended to work where the pull holes are spaced at that dimension. The medium bronze patina finish is called out in both the product name and description, so the color tone aligns with other medium bronze patina items in the same space.
This backplate is described as "BACKPLATE FOR Pull, 3-1/2 CC," so it is intended for pulls with 3-1/2 inch center-to-center mounting holes, aligning the plate behind the posts of that pull size. The Web description repeats "ESCUTCHEON FOR 3-1/2 PULL," confirming its role as a trim escutcheon that surrounds the pull mounting area. By matching the 3-1/2 inch layout, the backplate is positioned so the pull posts pass through in the correct locations, helping maintain a clean relationship between pull and plate on cabinet or furniture faces.
The product is classified under Decorative Hardware & Moldings and also as Handles and Pulls, Emtek, so it is intended to work in the same environments where decorative pulls are installed on cabinetry or millwork. Its description as a backplate for a pull means it is used directly behind a handle rather than as a standalone piece, so it is part of the visible hardware layout on doors and drawers. The Tuscany bronze designation identifies it as part of Emtekâ??s Tuscany styling concept, which helps when a project calls for matching that specific design theme across multiple openings. The use of bronze and a named patina finish positions this backplate where a warm, aged metal look is desired on cabinets, furniture, or architectural millwork runs.
The specification "3-1/2 CC" defines the center-to-center dimension this backplate is designed to support, so installers can line it up with pulls drilled on that spacing and maintain consistent alignment from opening to opening.
