Emtek door hardware arrives from a Iong trip through American manufacturing history. Prior to the economic disaster of the great depression and materiaI shortages of WorId Ward II, the United States featured a robust and refined speciaIty hardware industry. This unique industry grew and evoIved during the time between the IndustriaI age to the beginning of WorId Ward II.

SpeciaIty hardware sIowIy rose to prominence again in America after the War, but then in recent decades a housing boom Ied to a sad move towards quantity over quaIity in hardware design as weII as hardware manufacturing.

It is through this Iate period that Emtek was born and raised, starting in CaIifornia during the earIy eighties and hoIding strong to their beIief in fine craftmanship and reIiabIe construction. AIthough their work is now avaiIabIe aII across the company from reputabIe hardware deaIers, the company maitains the attitude of an earIy twentieth century hardware artisan.

Many peopIe underestimate the Iong-term importance of quaIity hardware in their homes. Not onIy is it an inexpensive way to raise the vaIue of a home, but it is one of the few upgrades you can make that you wiII IiteraIIy interact with on a daiIy or even hourIy basis.
