 The origins of Adams Rite Manufacturing Co. date back over 100 years, placing the company among the oldest in the Southern California business community.
Adams Rite Manufacturing Co. today designs, manufactures and markets door and door hardware products to the commercial, industrial and institutional building construction industry. Our product line includes locks, latches, electric strikes and exit devices for exterior and interior doors as well as integrated door assemblies. Adams Rite sells its builders hardware products in both the United States and abroad, and is recognized as one of the leading suppliers in its area of specialization. Our products are designed to complement the clean lines of modern doors, while at the same time meeting safety and access codes.
In February of 2002, Adams Rite formed a new company, Markar Architectural Products, Inc., that brings continuous hinges, and door components into a single source solution for the building and construction industry.
The International Organization for Standardization was formed in 1946 to create worldwide standards for global markets. Today, ISO 9001 is the worldwide recognized standard for quality system management. This standard establishes requirements and guidelines for companies to follow in putting together a quality assurance system. The standard is then expanded by people who are familiar with their own industry—what goes right, what goes wrong, along with the solutions—so the standard evolves into a unique process for each company.
Adams Rite is currently registered as ISO 2001:2000 by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc.® and the Markar division is ISO-9001-2000. Adams Rite and Markar continue to exceed even the most stringent requirements of ISO 9001 to ensure superior customer satisfaction.
In 2006, Adams Rite was acquired by the ASSA ABLOY Group, the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of locking solutions, meeting tough end-user demands for safety, security and user friendliness. The Group has some 30,000 employees and annual sales of about EUR 3 billion.
As we develop new and innovative products, Adams Rite continues its tradition of hardware that not only performs beyond expectations, but also is aesthetically pleasing in any application.
