Allegion Acquires SOSS Door Hardware

Oct. 23, 2024
Company's signature product is the SOSS Invisible Hinge

Allegion plc, through one of its subsidiaries, has acquired SOSS Door Hardware.

A manufacturer of premium hinges and door hardware, SOSS primarily sells its solutions in North American non-residential markets. Founded in 1903, the company invented the concealed hinge; today, its signature SOSS Invisible Hinge as well as fire-rated, heavy-duty, and other specialty hinges are popular across industrial, commercial, and institutional spaces.

SOSS will report to the Allegion Americas segment, led by Allegion Senior Vice President Dave Ilardi.

“SOSS is a pioneer with more than a century of manufacturing high-quality safety and security products, just like other leading Allegion brands,” Ilardi said. “SOSS solutions complement our Ives, Glynn-Johnson, and Zero International door hardware, allowing us to specify and supply a broader portfolio to our customers and ultimately growing this core part of our business.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
