Description

Emtek Octagon Mortise

The Emtek Octagon Mortise set captures the majesty of European tradition, featuring a distinctive eight-sided grip and intricate geometric stepped details that enhance its old-world aesthetic. Forged using the ancient Lost Wax Cast Bronze technique, this hardware is perfectly suited for Spanish haciendas or majestic Tudor-style homes.

The complete Emtek Octagon 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 Octagon 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 Octagon 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 Octagon 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 Octagon Mortise belongs to Emtek’s Tuscany collection, drawing inspiration from European traditions. We use the ancient Lost Wax casting process, where a bronze reproduction is cast from a meticulously crafted wax model, resulting in a product with intricate detail, rich texture, and superior quality.
