Edmonds H. Chandler, Jr., CPP, founder of Security By Design, Inc. in 1974, passed away on Monday, April 7, 2025. He and co-founder Lorna L. Chandler, CPP, navigated the changing landscape of physical security from implementing the first international access control system in the 1980’s to today’s world of networked multifaceted systems. He was an expert in door hardware and was constantly pushing the envelope of what was possible in this realm. He championed new technology and brought people together. Over the past several years, he and Lorna welcomed longtime employee Eric J. Reither and daughter Christina M. McCutcheon, CPP, into the leadership team. His dynamism and creativity will be greatly missed, even as his vision continues. We will also miss Ed's many contributions and continual presence at CONSULT. Our sincerest condolences go out to Lorna and the family and to the entire Security By Design organization.
