Emtek Returns

All Emtek returns are subject to a 25% restocking fee.

This fee applies because Emtek charges Hartford Building Products a 25% restocking fee on returned items.

Customers must contact us first so we can request an RGA from Emtek. Once Emtek provides the RGA acknowledgement letter and return instructions, we will email that information to the customer. Customers must follow Emtek’s return instructions exactly.

Damaged Items

Please inspect your shipment at delivery. It is the customer’s responsibility to note any visible damage or possible damage with the carrier before accepting the package.

  • Contact Hartford Building Products, LLC immediately at 1-800-772-0314.
  • Business hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
  • The receiver must keep the package and damaged product until the carrier picks it up and inspects it.
  • We may ask you to help expedite the claim process by taking photos of the damaged packaging and product and emailing them to us.
  • Do not discard the original packaging unless UPS instructs you to do so. If they do, please obtain that instruction in writing.
  • Please do not assume a damaged item in an undamaged box was packed that way. Carriers may re-box damaged shipments during transit.
