Description

Emtek Topeka Mortise

The Emtek Topeka Mortise hardware blends robust, UL-rated security with a tall, elegant design forged from Sandcast Bronze. This series features a full-length backplate, a substantial grip, and a gracefully arched top plate that gives your door a striking, sophisticated vertical presence. You can tailor the interior with any Sandcast Bronze trim you choose.

The complete Emtek Topeka 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.

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 Topeka 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 Topeka Mortise Entry Set.

Security & Requirements

Emtek’s heavy-duty mortise lock boxes offer exceptional protection:

• A UL Listed mortise with ANSI F20 or F13 function.
• A 180-minute fire rating for superior safety.
• A 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 Topeka 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

Available in the distinctive Sandcast Bronze material, the Emtek Topeka Mortise highlights the beauty of a living metal. This copper-based alloy naturally patinas over time, thus showcasing unique wear patterns that reflect its authentic character and history. Indeed, this material draws inspiration from the Bronze Age, symbolizing strength and timeless design.
