Whether you’re building a modernist house from the ground up, upgrading a traditional home, or hoping to make that pocket door as sleek, elegant, and functional as possible, Emtek is your go-to source for knobs and pulls. With literally hundreds of thousands of material, color, and style combinations—and a uniquely accessible and inviting customer experience—Emtek empowers homeowners to arrive at a decision that’s perfect for their project. For our 2025 Palm Springs Idea House, an indoor-outdoor dream home designed by modernist architects Donald Wexler and Lance O’Donnell, the homeowner chose Emtek’s Select Knurled Knobs to match the clean lines and semi-industrial aesthetic of the doors. How did the homeowner arrive at the perfect personalized handle set? He started his journey with the company’s new MyEmtek Product Visualizer, which allowed him to virtually design multiple versions of his ideal handle, and order a custom-made sample that he had in hand in mere days. To go from infinite choice to the right choice is at the heart of the Emtek customer experience. Here’s how you can work with Emtek to see how hardware can become easyware for your dream home project.

Peruse the Possibilities
Over the past 40 years, Emtek has established itself as the category leader in product design and the breadth of choice is truly stunning. The impressive range of hardware offerings includes smart locks, barn doors, sliding doors, pocket doors, knobs, levers, pulls, cabinet latches, and more. The variety of materials, colors, and finishes is equally impressive, whether you’re looking for oil-rubbed bronze, satin brass, brushed stainless steel, or beyond. And their easy-to-use website allows you to filter by design theme, material, or finish, and can lead you to, for example, the perfect Arts & Crafts mortise lock or modern keypad entry set in polished chrome.
