Midwest Wholesale is a leading full-service wholesaler and distributor of architecturally specified commercial door hardware, including manual and electronic locks, exit devices, door closers, and related specialty items. Midwest carries the broadest line of commercial door hardware in the industry, including products from more than 40 of the world’s leading manufacturers. Midwest is the only contract hardware wholesaler in the United States that represents both of the world’s leading door hardware manufacturers, ASSA ABLOY and Ingersoll-Rand. When Sentinel owned Midwest, the company served more than 4,300 active customers, primarily commercial hardware distributors, and could reach 84% of the U.S. population in one or two business days.

In 2014, Sentinel sold Midwest to a financial buyer.
