Allegion Door Hardware for Chicago Commercial Properties

The Parent Company Behind the Door Hardware You Already Have

Allegion is a publicly traded security products company (NYSE: ALLE) headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with primary operations in Carmel, Indiana. Spun off from Ingersoll Rand in 2013, Allegion consolidated some of the most recognized names in commercial door hardware under a single corporate umbrella: Schlage, Von Duprin, LCN, Falcon, and Ives among others.

If you walk through the emergency exit of a Chicago office building, the push bar is very likely a Von Duprin. If you close a commercial door and it swings shut with controlled force on a hydraulic closer, that is probably an LCN product. Allegion brands have been standard-issue for commercial construction in the United States since the mid-20th century.

Manufacturing and Scale

Allegion operates manufacturing facilities across the United States, Mexico, Europe, and Asia. The company’s U.S. manufacturing footprint includes plants in Colorado, Indiana, and other locations that produce exit devices, locksets, closers, and electronic access hardware. With annual revenue exceeding $3 billion, Allegion’s scale provides supply chain stability that smaller manufacturers cannot match — an important consideration for large-scale Chicago building projects where material lead times directly impact project schedules.

Key Brands Under the Allegion Umbrella

Schlage — Commercial and residential locksets, deadbolts, and electronic locks. The Schlage NDE and LE series wireless locks integrate with modern access control platforms while fitting standard door preparations.

Von Duprin — The industry standard in exit devices (panic hardware). Von Duprin exit devices are specified by architects and required by code for nearly every commercial and multi-tenant egress door.

LCN — Commercial door closers trusted for decades in high-traffic applications. LCN closers handle the thousands of daily door cycles common in Chicago office lobbies and condo entrances.

Falcon — Additional exit device and door hardware products complementing the Von Duprin lineup.

Vidimost and Allegion Products

We encounter Allegion products on virtually every Chicago building we service. When integrating access control with existing door hardware, proper compatibility between electric strikes, exit devices, and door closers is critical. We specify and install Allegion components alongside Brivo, Paxton, and other access control platforms to ensure reliable door operation and code compliance.
