Since 1972 SDC products have been designed, engineered and built in America while most of our larger competitors manufacture overseas. With a robust toolbox of over 35,000 access & egress control components at your fingertips, you can assemble turnkey solutions to address both market-specific and application-specific requirements for almost any door opening imagined. 

Les Neal, 42+ year industry veteran and SDC's Factory Sales Associate, endured some good-natured ribbing on his official retirement from SDC and the Door Hardware industry today.

Dalton Geringer, SDC’s Operations Manager, manned our exhibit at Ventura College’s Part Time and Seasonal Job Fair on October 12^th, to make students aware of our part-time job openings. SDC supported this community event particularly for those considering a career in manufacturing as a way of gaining invaluable experience while completing their education.

Shane Geringer - pictured relaxing outside his office with our “Getting To Know SDC” Brochure and Football Trophy – won the SDC NFL office football pool for Week 4. Word has it he promised to work from the floor the rest of the week so people will believe his gratitude and humility at having won the pool over the rest of us.

These two industry veterans add to our commitment to excellence.

We’re very pleased to announce the addition of Erik Mosher and Les Neal to the SDC sales team. Both bring unique experience and valuable knowledge by virtue of wearing several hats during their careers in the industry.
