What Cal-Royal Products does

Cal-Royal Products, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned US manufacturer of architectural door hardware founded in 1983 by Sina Yashar and now operated alongside his sons Kaye and David Yashar. The company produces a broad catalog of mechanical hardware (cylindrical and mortise locksets, deadbolts, door closers, exit devices, hinges, thresholds, weather seals, lites, louvers, and builders hardware) plus an electronic and electrified hardware line spanning electronic locksets, electrified deadbolts, programmable access-control units, and electrified exit devices. Products are engineered to comply with ANSI/BHMA Grades 1, 2 and 3, UL listings across multiple safety categories, ADA accessibility, Buy American Act requirements, CE marking, and Florida Building Code approvals.

The company's proprietary Genesys (GenSys) Grade 1 clutch system for lever locks, which protects against damage from misuse or vandalism, is a notable technology differentiator and places Cal-Royal among only three manufacturers globally offering this specification for lever hardware. The product portfolio explicitly targets high-security and high-traffic environments, with named installations at federal facilities (Pentagon, IRS, Federal Courthouses), major hospitality chains (MGM Grand, Hilton, Marriott), healthcare accounts, and commercial retail developments.

Cal-Royal operates an indirect go-to-market model, selling exclusively through authorized distributors rather than directly to end users. Distribution is supported by a network of regional warehouses in the Southwest, Southeast, Eastern, and Midwest United States, plus wholly-owned international subsidiaries Cal-Royal Products Middle East QFZ in Qatar and CRP Securities USA in Saudi Arabia, providing GCC-region coverage. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is headquartered in Commerce, California, with reported headcount of 11-50 employees and no external institutional funding or public listing.
