The Best Side Plates from Emtek

Side plates are sizable back plates that feature a knob or lever and an additional deadbolt, and they’re designed for exterior doors. Alternatively, it can be a blank plate with only a knob/lever, serving as a privacy or passage function for interior doors. This dual functionality makes Emtek side plates great for a variety of door types, offering both security and style.
