Market Position/ History

Security Door Controls (SDC) was founded in 1972 by Arthur V. Geringer, D.A.H.C., invested his personal funds to establish the company.

Over the 1970s and early 1980s, SDC expanded its innovation footprint with multiple industry-first offerings, including the HiTower lockset, floating-armature electromagnetic locks, delayed egress systems with onboard electronics and countdown visuals, and motor-driven latch retraction kits like QuietDuo SDC Security.
