PRO13 years agoSunex, Amen! I have had to completely refabricate emtek hardware for a very large project. I told the contractor to throw it out, but the owner overpaid for the hardware and wanted to use it. In the end , he paid more to fix the emtek than it would have been for me to custom cast the original design that emtek copied.
The photo is my hardware not emtek!
