SDC pioneered the revolutionary delayed egress locking category to the industry in 1985 before patenting and launching ExitCheck® 1511S series in 1995 – the world’s first delayed egress lock to integrate a visual digital display, verbal countdown and alarm tone, alternating verbal message and door release indicator. Since then, SDC has developed the premier line of delayed egress solutions offering the most choices, flexibility and customization available in the market.

SDC’s U.S. factory has been retooled to build even more products in-house than ever before, diminishing common supply chain issues. Besides a further reduction in lead times and improved quality control, SDC is able to offer more “build to suit” services for must have access and egress control hardware when market demand outpaces supply. 

Electric Latch Retraction (ELR)

We’re building more components in-house to diminish supply chain issues, increase quality control and reduce lead times. SDC AUTO operators help meet all US and Canadian ADA compliance requirements for door installation in retail storefronts, office buildings, campuses and healthcare facilities. Available in 628 aluminum and 335 black.

A built-in 1-Amp+, 24VDC internal power supply provides integration with popular access and egress control hardware. The CPU-based unit is self-tuning and self-learning while offering non-handed operation, full mechanical stops and a variety of interface options for sensors, push plates, fire alarms and electrified locks.

Monday, December 23rd, featured our first annual Ugly Sweater Day. Pictured are semi-finalists and eventual $50.00 winner - Courtney Peña. Her ensemble featured a digital loop of holiday tunes sung by cats going - "Meow, meow, meow, meow" - into infinity. She probably banked more cash in bribes not to wear it again next year.

From the SDC family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of success and prosperity. Our office will be closed December 25th and January 1st.
