History
Founded in 1981, [3] Emtek began making a limited range of solid brass door levers for specialty hardware dealers in the Los Angeles area; they are now distributed through all of North America. Based in City of Industry, it has three facilities for product assembly, shipping, management, and customer service.[4]
The company produces a range of residential lock products, including tubular locks, interior door knobs and levers, key locking hardware sets, electronic keyless locks, deadbolts, hinges, dutch door bolts and Mortise locks. Represented by dealers and showrooms in the United States, Latin America and Canada, it also provides cabinet and drawer pulls for interior spaces like Kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets.[5][6][7][8]
Previously controlled by Swedish conglomerate ASSA ABLOY since 1999,[9] Emtek and its sister brand, Schaub hardware, were acquired in 2023 by Fortune Brands Innovations.[10] With that, the Deerfield, Illinois-based home and security products maker now manages the brands as part of a portfolio already comprising Moen, the House of Rohl, Master Lock, SentrySafe and Therma-Tru.
