Introducing Allegion

The big day is finally here!  As of December 1st, 2013, the commercial and residential security businesses of Ingersoll Rand have become a new company – Allegion! 

Introducing Allegion!Quite a few people have asked what this means to iDigHardware (or iHateHardware if you still hate hardware).  I don’t foresee any major changes to the site, other than the obvious…what was once red is now orange!  I have a new email address – lori.greene@allegion.com.  That will definitely take some getting used to after more than a decade with my old email address.  Of course you can still find me here, or by following me on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook.  You can also subscribe to this site to receive new iDigHardware posts by email.

If you have questions about Allegion that are not answered below, please leave them in the comments section.  And while you’re commenting…if you would like to leave a few words about how iDigHardware has helped you with your job, I have Allegion travel mugs for the first 33 people who share their experience (even if you’re one of my Allegion colleagues!).  Be the envy of all your coworkers – the first to have an Allegion mug on your desk!  😀
