Baby and Toddler Items Needed Now Thru September 27^th

Who knew a cup of coffee could turn into a significant donation of infant necessities for expectant parents struggling to make ends meet? That’s what happened this week when Shane picked up his usual cup of joe at his favorite coffee stop and noticed the flyer for a Community Baby Shower.

"I had no idea of the depth of need for items we mostly take for granted,” he said. “Once I contacted the folks at the Ventura County Medical Center Auxiliary and they explained the circumstances, I was all in. I hope anyone reading this story will consider making a contribution during this donation period.”

Vital Supplies needed include:

Electric Latch Retraction (ELR)

Since 2012, when SDC launched QuietDuo™ – the first Motorized ELR Kits to convert mechanical exit devices – we’ve been “quietly” leading in electric latch retraction (ELR) upgrades for access control. This includes retrofit solutions for most brands of exit devices as well as innovative SDC exit devices & mortise locksets with factory-installed ELR and automatic door operators with a built-in 1 Amp+ power supply to power them. Discover the transformative potential of electric latch retraction technology in revolutionizing security systems and enhancing protection.

We Will Be Closed

It is with great sadness, and also with great gratitude for having known and worked with her, that we announce Rhonda’s passing Thursday morning, August 15th, after a difficult illness.

The Integrator’s Choice Since 1995

SDC pioneered the revolutionary delayed egress locking category in 1985. We patented the ExitCheck® 1511S series in 1995  – the first delayed egress lock to integrate a visual digital display, verbal countdown and alarm tone, alternating verbal message and door release indicator.

Later, we added the ExitCheck® 1511T series for double doors and the 1581S mini delayed egress for smaller security needs and budgets. With the deepest line of complementary accessories, SDC provides the most comprehensive delayed egress solutions in the industry. Explore the importance of delayed egress devices in ensuring security and compliance in various settings.
