All Emtek orders are assembled and shipped from California.
Regardless of metal type, all Emtek hardware is completely solid. Their quality is comparable to Baldwin, Grandeur, Nostalgic Warehouse or any other high end line of door locks.
Emtek's products are a cut above in terms of craftsmanship and design. Each order is custom assembled in our Southern California facility. There is no predetermined combination of knobs, levers, rosettes and finishes; we let you mix and match according to your own taste.
Emtek is a very good brand and is often used by those of us restoring old homes (if the original hardware is gone). It's a bit on the higher end. We purchased one of the Emtek locksets a few months ago - handle on the outside and knob/deadbolt on the inside.
Both Baldwin and Emtek have been part of a corporate consolidation trend that has seen them transform from small American manufacturers to brands within the portfolios of multinational corporations.
Featuring the beautiful Solid Brass cabinet hardware collection from Emtek Hardware. A wide variety of finishes are available including polished brass, antique brass, polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel and more.
Baldwin's products include lock sets; bath, door and cabinet hardware; switch plates; and lighting. The company said that 85 percent of Baldwin production will be relocated to Stanley Black & Decker's plant in Nogales, Mexico, and that management responsibilities would move to Lake Forest, Calif.
Features: Solid forged brass construction. Grade 1 BHMA rating ensures that you're getting the best security available.
Schlage, Baldwin Estates, Baldwin Reserve, and Emtek can all be keyed to the same key. Kwikset, Yale, and Baldwin Prestige can all be keyed to the same key.
Duplicate keys work perfectly for my emtek locks. None of the local hardware stores were able to make copies that worked.
Unlike their more bulky commercial cousins, the Emtek electronic locks are smaller and look at home on the wooden door typical of a residential property. As a backup to technology, the EMtouch still has a traditional keyed cylinder which any locksmith can replace or rekey if needed.
Tubular locks are commonly found on all types of doors and are ideally suited for new (post-1950's) pre-drilled doors. Tubular locks have a spindle assembly that extends into or through the center of the latch, allowing for retraction of the latch bolt when the lever or knob is rotated.
Unlacquered Brass is polished, unfinished raw brass that darkens and develops patina as it ages. Keep reading to learn more about it along with the knobs, pulls, hinges and cabinet latches.
Lifetime Brass is a PVD polished brass option. PVD stands for physical vapor deposition, a process used to create a very durable, corrosion and tarnish resistant finish. This is similar in appearance to highly polished brass.
Baldwin and Kwikset are part of Hardware and Home Improvement (HHI), a major manufacturer and supplier of residential locksets, residential builders' hardware and faucets with a portfolio of renowned brands, including Kwikset®, Weiser®, Baldwin®, National Hardware®, Stanley®, Pfister™ and EZSET®.
Kwikset subsequently became part of the Hardware and Home Improvement (HHI) Group of Stanley Black & Decker, which also owns lockset manufacturers Weiser and Baldwin.
Schlage continues its domestic growth with the opening of a new production facility in Security, Colorado manufacturing standard locksets and handcrafted hardware.
I've always found Baldwin door products to be superior to most, if not all, competitors. This deadbolt is no exception. you may pay a little more for this product than some other brands. However, it comes with a lifetime warranty and the quality is there.
