Business Strength: Allegion is witnessing sustained momentum in the Allegion Americas segment.

The Allegion Americas segment's organic revenues increased 9.1% year over year in the third quarter, following 8.9% growth in the preceding quarter.

The inclusion of Overly's expertise in acoustic, blast-resistant, bullet-resistant and vault security doors strengthened the company's hollow metal doors and frames portfolio. In March 2026, Allegion acquired DCI Hollow Metal through one of its subsidiaries. The acquisition strengthened its core mechanical portfolio, particularly custom hollow metal doors and frames.
