We deliver the BEST SERVICE in the industry!

Hardware by Design is an authorized Emtek dealer. Every Emtek knob and lever here has one page with every finish, rosette and function, so the whole house can share one look.

How ordering works: pick your design, finish, rosette and function, then choose Request a Quote. A hardware specialist confirms handing, backset, door thickness and latch details with you and sends final pricing within 1 business day. Emtek ships direct, typically in 5 to 7 business days.

Doing a whole house? Send us your plans or door schedule and we'll build the list for you. Designers, builders and architects get trade pricing and a dedicated account rep through our free Pro program. Call 1-800-257-9085, 9 am to 5 pm Central, Monday to Friday.

What's the difference between passage, privacy and dummy?

Passage has no lock and goes on halls, closets and pantries. Privacy has a push-button lock for bedrooms and baths. Dummy has no latch and is surface mounted, for closet pairs and the inactive side of French doors. Most homes need all three.

How do I tell my door's handing?

Stand on the side the door swings away from and look at the hinges. Hinges on the left means left handed, on the right means right handed. Knobs work either way; many levers are handed. We'll confirm it with you before anything is ordered.

What backset do I need?

Backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. Emtek's standard latch is 2-3/8", and 2-3/4" is available. If you're replacing hardware, measure your existing doors, or ask us and we'll walk you through it.

Can you match entry sets, deadbolts and cabinet hardware?

Yes. We quote Emtek entry sets, deadbolts and keyed levers in the same finish, and our Emtek cabinet hardware pages cover knobs, pulls and appliance pulls to match.
