This post is the first in a series to address concerns expressed and to provide clarity and resources regarding Delayed Egress systems.

After a multi-year search for suitable factory space to meet its growth needs, SDC (Security Door Controls) was able close escrow on a facility at the end of 2022 - literally across the parking lot from its current headquarters. The new SDC Campus Building #2 has been undergoing site improvements and is now ready to accommodate the first phase of a planned expansion of manufacturing, research & development, product & service training, and inventory control/warehouse capabilities.

Proven Delayed Egress Innovation 

Since 1972, SDC has manufactured popular electrified access control hardware like bolt locks, strikes, EMLocks® and egress devices in America while most of our larger competitors manufacture overseas. Designed, engineered and built in America means SDC products are readily available with standard one week lead times for most products.

With a robust toolbox of over 35,000 access and egress control components, SDC’s code compliant products form turnkey solutions 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.

Last Friday, prior to the Memorial Day Holiday, SDC held a company-wide event in the parking lot - our first since the pandemic lockdowns of 2020. What a joy! In addition to sharing savory SoCal food - street tacos, rice, beans, guacamole, chips & salsa - there were a variety of lip-smacking deserts for all.
