Emtek Hera Mortise

The Emtek Hera Mortise blends modern elegance with dependable strength. Designed with clean lines and solid geometry, it adds a bold yet refined statement to contemporary and transitional doors. Built from solid brass, it offers long-lasting performance, smooth function, and reliable security for any setting.

You can order the Hera in entry or dummy configurations, and pair it with any Emtek brass knob or lever for the interior trim. Each set also includes the latch, strike plate, and all mounting hardware for quick and easy installation.

Functions

• F13 Mortise – Works as a standard keyed lock. The exterior key operates both the latch and deadbolt, while the inside lever retracts both at once for smooth access. It also carries a UL 180-minute fire rating and a durable lock body for lasting reliability.
• F20 Mortise – Stays locked from the outside and includes stop and release buttons for temporary override when needed. This feature adds convenience and control for high-traffic or private areas.
• Mortise Dummy – A decorative, non-working trim used for double or French doors. It serves as a fixed handle on the inactive door, creating a balanced and consistent appearance.
