people in the industry, we use a professional, pro-active business approach
and delivery method.
Company History
In 1987 Perry N. Cox founded Southern Door & Hardware in Jackson,
Mississippi. His goal was to provide superior service as a distributor
of doors and hardware to the contractors in Mississippi area. Perry saw
a great opportunity to provide a higher level of service to the customer
through the manufacturing of hollow metal frames which would result in
superior lead times and greater flexibility in response to last minute
changes by the architect and/or owner. After five successful years in
business, Southern Door & Hardware constructed a state of the art
office and manufacturing facility which still serves as the Company’s
headquarters. We have completed projects from small renovations, to world
class hotels, casinos,
hospitals, schools,
and detention facilities.
In 1999, after 12 years of building a successful business in the Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama tri-state area, Southern Door & Hardware was
acquired by Hardware Corporation of America as part of a national “roll-up”
plan. In November 2001, Perry Cox had an opportunity to purchase the company
back, which he did with a renewed and continuing passion for the business
and the customers. On November 1, 2001 Southern Door & Hardware was
reopened under its original ownership with a commitment to the marketplace.
Today
With the changing environment of our industry and the
increased needs of security and life safety, we have taken our service and expertise
from our base door and hardware business and expanded our product offering
to our customers. At
Southern Door & Hardware, we invest daily in our employees ensuring they are
trained in all of the cutting edge developments in our industry so that they may
pass along their knowledge in serving you, the customer. Through partnerships

to bring customers back and allows us to grow into new territories and add new
customers. Let us earn the opportunity to prove to you it “costs less”
to do business with Southern Door & Hardware, where on every job we strive
