SDC (Security Door Controls) is a long-standing U.S. manufacturer of electrified access control hardware, locks, exit devices, and related systems.
In Episode 28 of the Locksmith Security Network Podcast, Wayne Winton sits down with Tom Morrison and Kerby Lecka of Security Door Controls (SDC) to explore the company’s history, its role in the physical security industry, and the growing intersection of locksmithing and access control.
The conversation covers SDC’s roots dating back to 1972, its continued family ownership, and its focus on American-made electrified door hardware. Tom and Kerby discuss the company’s approach to retrofit applications, electrified locksets, exit devices, latch retraction kits, power transfer devices, and other solutions that help locksmiths and security professionals integrate access control into existing doors and hardware.
Wayne and the SDC team also dig into the practical challenges of access-control installations, including fire-rated doors, mortar-filled frames, power requirements, product selection, and the importance of planning hardware installations from the beginning of a project. They discuss how locksmiths can continue to add value as the industry moves beyond traditional mechanical keys and deeper into electronic access control.
The episode also highlights SDC’s technical support and its Door Snap app, which helps installers identify solutions for specific door applications.
Whether you’re a locksmith looking to expand into access control, an experienced security professional, or simply interested in where the physical security industry is headed, this episode offers plenty of practical insight from both the field and the manufacturer’s perspective.
