Emtek Da Vinci Mortise

The Emtek Da Vinci Mortise set embodies the artistic excellence of the Renaissance, combining sophisticated design with high security. Forged using the ancient Lost Wax Cast Bronze technique, this hardware, part of the Tuscany collection, features an elegant, detailed oval backplate and offers a grand, old-world aesthetic perfect for traditional and European-inspired architecture.

The complete Emtek Da Vinci Mortise set includes the latch and strike plate. It accommodates 2–1/2′′ or 2–3/4′′ backsets and requires standard mortise door prep ANSI A115.1. Furthermore, the lock features a reliable Schlage C keyway, ensuring dependable security. You can pair it with any Lost Wax Cast Bronze knob or lever for the interior trim.

Functions

• F13 Mortise Function (Keyed Entry) – This is the standard keyed entry lock. The exterior key operates both bolts, while the inside knob/lever retracts both bolts simultaneously, offering a quick emergency exit.
• F20 Mortise Function (Entry w/ Override) – This version of the Emtek Da Vinci Mortise remains secured from the outside, but it features an interior Stop and Release button to temporarily override the lock. The inside knob/lever retracts both bolts at once.
• Dummy Function (Non-Active) – Conversely, the dummy function works as a fixed trim set and has no latch or locking mechanism, making it ideal for the non-active door leaf of double entryways. You should pair it with the active Da Vinci Mortise Entry Set.

Security & Requirements

Emtek’s heavy-duty mortise lock boxes offer exceptional protection with a UL Listed mortise and a 180-minute fire rating:

• Deadlocking latch bolt
• Forged deadbolts with anti-saw inserts
• Anti-pick security latches and anti-friction triggers
• Stop and release buttons in the F20 function option.

Consequently, we require handing (Left-hand or Right-hand) for all Emtek Da Vinci Mortise lock orders. The standard door thickness is 1–3/4′′; you must specify if your door is thicker. Finally, locks for in-swing doors are standard; please specify if you require an out-swing configuration.

Craftsmanship: Lost Wax Cast Bronze

The Da Vinci Mortise is rooted in the tradition of ancient Italian art. We use the Lost Wax casting process, where a bronze reproduction is cast from a meticulously crafted wax model. This method ensures that every detail of the elegant design is captured, resulting in a product with intricate detail, rich texture, and superior, handcrafted quality.
