What ROFU does

ROFU Security International Corp. is a US-based manufacturer of electromechanical access control hardware, organized as a subsidiary of Canadian security hardware group CDVI and operating from a single headquarters in Kent, Washington. The company's product portfolio spans five core categories: electric strikes (including residential, universal, heavy-duty, fire-rated, rim-mount, and motorized cabinet lock models), magnetic locks (mini shear, full-length, keyhole-mount, delayed egress, slide-mount, weatherproof gate, and door holder variants), Request-to-Exit peripherals (key switches, push buttons, mushroom switches, push bars, infrared wave-to-exit sensors, and a standalone IP65 keypad/RFID reader), power supplies and transformers (UL-listed 12/24 VDC units, plug-in mini supplies, and power transfer devices), and accessories (converters, door cords, and a buzzer). Multiple product lines carry UL Listings or UL Recognized Component certifications relevant to burglary, fire, and auxiliary lock categories, and many products support dual 12/24 VDC operation, fail-safe and fail-secure modes, and monitoring features such as bond sensors and door status outputs.

The company's business model is built around direct, inside-sales distribution: orders are taken via a dedicated phone line (1-800-ALL-ROFU) and a centralized order-entry email, supported by a downloadable product catalog and a website that hosts data sheets and product listings. ROFU sells primarily to security hardware distributors, locksmiths, security technicians, and commercial/institutional facilities such as casinos and office buildings, with end applications spanning commercial building access control, gate security, emergency egress, and UL code-compliant retrofits. Pricing follows a stable MSRP list model that was held unchanged for more than seven years before a 10% Tariff & Transportation Surcharge was added as a separate line item effective June 26, 2025 to offset US Government tariff increases on components. Geographic footprint is limited to North America (USA-dominant), and the operating team is small (11–50 employees), with named individuals covering general management, sales/administration, and inventory/shipping functions.
