Allegion’s portfolio and EPD coverage at a glance
Allegion sits behind countless doors in schools, hospitals and offices. With brands like Schlage, LCN, Von Duprin, Steelcraft, Ives and TGP, it covers most of Division 08. Here is how broad the catalog looks and where Environmental Product Declarations are already in place, plus the gaps that could cost specs on projects chasing LEED v5 materials wins.
Who Allegion is, in one view
Allegion is a global security and openings company that builds the hardware, door systems and access tech found in commercial and institutional buildings. Their sustainability updates live on an ESG microsite that is easy to find and worth bookmarking (Allegion ESG).
What they sell, by family
Think full openings. Mechanical and electrified locks, exit devices, door closers, hinges and protection plates, readers and controllers, hollow metal doors and frames, and specialty fire‑rated glazing systems. That maps to several product categories and likely hundreds of SKUs across brands, not a single‑product pure play.
EPD coverage today
Coverage is solid across flagship families. We see EPDs for Schlage L9000 and ND locks, ALX cylindrical locks, LCN 4040XP closers, Von Duprin 22 and 98/99 exit devices, Ives hinges and protection plates, plus Steelcraft doors and frames. That puts Allegion in the “dozens” tier for current, product‑specific declarations, verified primarily with UL Solutions as program operator. Good breadth for general commercial, healthcare and education specs.
What still looks thin
Some electronic access components appear less consistently covered, such as certain readers and controllers, power supplies, and bundled automatic entrance packages. A few specialty hardware lines like premium thresholds and seals may also lack readily visible EPDs. If these are everyday add‑ons in your submittals, the absence creates extra friction for project teams that need clean countable products.
The spec battlefield
Main rivals are ASSA ABLOY group brands and dormakaba in locks, closers and exit devices, with Hager often present in hinges and trim. Competitors actively publish product‑specific EPDs in these categories, including recent door closer entries from ASSA ABLOY in 2025 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). That is the playing field Allegion meets on large institutional projects.
Why EPDs matter commercially right now
LEED v4.1’s materials credit counts at least 20 qualifying products from five manufacturers, and a product‑specific Type III EPD with external verification counts as 1.5 products toward that total (USGBC Credit Library, 2024) (USGBC, 2024). LEED v5 was ratified by USGBC members on March 28, 2025 and keeps disclosure while raising the bar on embodied carbon performance, so transparent, verified EPDs stay a fast path to help a project hit its checklist (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC, 2025). When your product lacks an EPD, project teams often default to conservative carbon assumptions, which quietly nudges selection toward competitors that have one.
Where the openings are, tactically
If we had to prioritize, three quick wins stand out for future declarations.
- Electronic access essentials. Readers, controllers and power supplies show up in every modern door schedule. Getting representative SKUs covered removes a recurring objection.
- Automatic entrances. Since Allegion now owns an automatic door business, an assembly‑level EPD for common packages would help retailers and healthcare move faster on submittals.
- High volume accessories. Coordinators, thresholds and seals close out Division 08 punch lists. A few targeted EPDs here can lift whole‑opening specability.
Competitive angle, with an example
Door closers are a commodity in appearance but a frequent line item in LEED submittals. ASSA ABLOY’s recent 2025 door closer EPDs show how even small components get credit traction on jobs that need countable products (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). If a project uses an Allegion lock, closer and exit device, having all three carry EPDs lets the team rack up progress quickly. Miss one and you create an avoidable speed bump, becuase someone must hunt for an alternate that is verified.
Bottom line for manufacturers
Allegion’s EPD portfolio covers many of the hero SKUs in commercial openings. The next gains likely come from rounding out electronics and packaged entrances so every common door set in healthcare, education and office can be fully “countable” in minutes. For any manufacturer, the playbook is the same. Publish product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs where volumes are highest, pick PCRs your competitors already use, and work with a partner who can shoulder the data collection and publish with your preferred operator so your team can focus on shipping product, not chasing spreadsheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Allegion product families already have EPDs and which look light on coverage?
Locks, exit devices, door closers, hinges, protection plates, and common hollow metal doors and frames have visible EPDs across brands like Schlage, LCN, Von Duprin, Ives and Steelcraft. Coverage appears thinner for some electronic access components, power supplies and packaged automatic entrances.
How many Allegion SKUs and product categories are we talking about roughly?
Allegion competes in several Division 08 categories with a portfolio spanning locks, closers, exit devices, hinges and plates, doors and frames, access electronics and specialty glazing. The combined catalog likely runs in the hundreds of SKUs across these families.
Why do EPDs help Allegion and peers win specs under LEED v5?
LEED v4.1 Option 1 typically asks for 20 qualifying products from five manufacturers, and a product‑specific Type III, externally verified EPD counts as 1.5 products, which speeds up the tally. LEED v5 keeps disclosure and leans harder into embodied carbon, so verified EPDs remain a direct path to help projects finish materials credits efficiently (USGBC Credit Library, 2024; USGBC, 2025).
