                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The sale of the Shares may be effected from time to time by the Selling
Shareholders in transactions (which may include block transactions by or for the
account of the Selling Shareholders or in which the broker or dealer so engaged
will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion
of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction and purchases by a
broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this prospectus) on the New York Stock Exchange, or any

market or in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such
methods of sale or otherwise.  Sales may be made at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

     The Shares may be sold from time to time to purchasers directly by any of
the Selling Shareholders or through underwriters, dealers or agents who may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of the Shares
for whom they may act as agent and/or principal.  The Selling Shareholders and
any such underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of
the Shares may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of the
Shares by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any
such underwriters, dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

     Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in a distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to such Shares for a period of two or nine
business days, as applicable, prior to the commencement of such distribution.
In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, each Selling Shareholder and
any other person participating in the distribution will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
including without limitation Rules 10b-2, 10b-6, and 10b-7, which provisions may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling
Shareholders or any such person.  All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of Shares.

Item 15.             Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes certain
indemnification by the Company to directors, officers and other persons and
authorizes the Company to purchase insurance against such liabilities.  This
section allows indemnification by the Company to any person made or threatened
to be made a party to any proceedings, other than a proceeding by or in the
right of the Company, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or was serving at the
request of the Company in a similar capacity with another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses,
including judgments and fines, if that person acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the
Company and, with respect to criminal actions, in which such person had no
reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.  Similar
provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the Company, except
that no indemnification shall be made in such cases when the person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless determined otherwise by the
court in which the action was brought.  Determinations regarding indemnification
are to be made by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors or the
written opinion of independent legal counsel or by stockholders or by the court.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation extends similar rights of
indemnification.

               (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement:

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.

          (2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

          (3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

The Board of Directors
Carlisle Companies Incorporated
250 South Clinton Street, Suite 201
Syracuse, NY  13202-1258

Dear Board of Directors:

     I am Vice President and General Counsel of Carlisle Companies Incorporated,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and am familiar with the shares of
capital stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Shares") issued
to the Selling Shareholders, as defined in the Company's Registration Statement
dated as of December 29, 1994.

     I have reviewed originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as I
have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinions set
forth below.

     Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

          (1)  The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing
          corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware; and

          (2)  The Shares to be issued to the Selling Shareholders have been
          duly authorized by the Company and, when so issued, will be validly
          issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit (5) to the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 relating to the Shares and to the
references to my name in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus forming a
part of the Registration Statement.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   /s/ Scott C. Selbach
                                  --------------------

                                   Scott C. Selbach

                                   General Counsel
