DUBLIN -- Allegion plc has acquired privately held DCI Hollow Metal on Demand (DCI),  a leading U.S. manufacturer of custom, quick ship hollow metal doors and frames for industrial, commercial and institutional markets.

DCI solutions are installed in a wide range of facilities, including hospitals and medical centers, government buildings, K12 schools and universities, commercial offices and stadiums. DCI’s product line includes custom commercial steel doors, bulletproof doors, fire-rated doors, STC doors and hollow metal frame manufactured to customer specifications, in their 100,000-square-foot facility in Southern California.

DCI will operate as part of the Allegion Americas segment, led by Allegion Senior Vice President Dave Ilardi.
