Prior to the economic disaster of the great depression and material shortages of World Ward II, the United States featured a robust and refined specialty hardware industry.  This unique industry grew and evolved during the time between the Industrial age to the beginning of World Ward II.  Specialty hardware slowly rose to prominence again in America after the War, but then in recent decades a housing boom led to a sad move towards quantity over quality in hardware design as well as hardware manufacturing.It is through this late period that Emtek was born and raised, starting in California during the early eighties and holding strong to their belief in fine craftmanship and reliable construction.  Although their work is now available all across the company from reputable hardware dealers, the company maitains the attitude of an early twentieth century hardware artisan.Many people underestimate the long-term importance of quality hardware in their homes.
