Congrats Hager: Four New EPDs Land This Week

What shipped on June 29

Four product‑family EPDs are now live for Hager’s everyday hardware essentials, all issued June 29, 2026 and valid through June 29, 2031.

• 2500‑3400‑3500 Series cylindrical locksets
• 5100 Series door closers
• 5200‑5300‑5400 Series door closers
• 3100‑3200 Series deadlocks

Each covers a family rather than a one‑off SKU, which is exactly how these products are spec’d on real jobs.

The rulebook and who published

All four are published by Smart EPD LLC and reference the Builders Hardware Part B PCR lineage used widely in North America for locks, closers, and related hardware. Developer of record is listed as Hager Companies. If program‑operator names blur together, here’s a quick primer on Smart EPD’s approach and timelines for context (Smart EPD, Untangled). Think of Part A as the league rules and the hardware Part B as the house rules for this category.

Why this matters in specs

Product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs remove the “carbon penalty” that teams often apply to products without declarations. That saves back‑and‑forth in design development and submittals and keeps the conversation focused on performance, price, and lead time rather than paperwork. Under LEED v5 and many owner standards, having the document in hand is the ticket to compete rather than a nice‑to‑have.

Category coverage that tracks to how doors are bought

This batch maps to the hardware sets most frequently scheduled. The cylindrical lock families span common Grade 1 and Grade 2 use cases in education, healthcare, offices, and mixed‑use. The door closer set covers both heavy‑duty and slim‑body profiles that show up in retrofits and new builds alike. Deadlocks round out openings that need extra security. It’s the practical trio that shows up in almost every spec.

Competitive read

In door hardware, the shortlist is tight. Allegion’s LCN closers, ASSA ABLOY brands like SARGENT and Norton, and dormakaba all field EPDs in locks and closers today. Hager’s four‑pack deepens coverage where specs most often compare apples to apples and brings them to clear parity on must‑have documents. For a snapshot on dormakaba’s breadth, see this neutral overview on our guide (Dormakaba coverage). The takeaway is simple. When the document exists, price and performance can actually be weighed fairly.

Where to find Hager’s EPDs right now

Hager’s sustainability page lists EPDs by product line and hosts downloadable files for many items, including locks and door closers. See the sustainability hub and example PDFs here:

Note for the web team. As of July 6, 2026, site links still point to earlier UL‑branded PDFs in several places. Swapping in the newest Smart EPD publications will help specifiers grab the current versions without hunting. Visibility really is half the battle in this category.

Speed to listing

These declarations landed in commonly used carbon databases within days of the June 29 issuance, which keeps momentum in live bids. Reducing that lag matters because projects move quickly and teams often shortlist from the first current results they see. If future releases need to appear even faster in the tools specifiers search first, closing the issuance‑to‑listing gap should be on the checklist.

A clear step forward

Hager is a full‑line architectural hardware maker with meaningful market share in door controls, locks, hinges, thresholds, and weatherstrip. This week’s four‑EPD batch tightens coverage where it counts and signals follow‑through on transparency. For specifiers, it means fewer workarounds. For sales, it means stronger head‑to‑head showings against entrenched brands. That’s real traction, not just a green badge.
