Emtek was founded in 1981, in City of Industry, CA as a manufacturer of specialty hardware products selling to door manufacturing companies. By the mid 1980’s Emtek began making a limited range of solid brass door levers for specialty hardware dealers in the Los Angeles area. Today, Emtek’s insistence on quality workmanship has limited the pace of decorative hardware product development, but it has resulted in a well-earned reputation for reliability and integrity of design.
