Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
          Results of Operations 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     The Company's cash requirements relate primarily to the seasonal 
financing of working capital, the purchase of property, plant and equipment, 
business acquisition opportunities, the servicing of outstanding debt and 
cash dividends.  Cash provided by operating activities continues to be the 
major source of the Company's funds and is expected to satisfy a substantial 
portion of future cash needs.  These funds have been augmented by long-term 
borrowings under a revolving credit agreement.

     Cash provided by operating activities totaled $172,000 in the 1995 
period as compared to $682,000 in the 1994 period.  Operating assets increased
during the first half of 1995 by approximately $2.7 million compared to 
$1.5 million during the similar 1994 period.  The increase in operating 
assets follows a normal seasonal pattern resulting from inventory build-ups 
in anticipation of higher second half sales.  The 1995 increase also reflects
longer lead times in certain purchased components and temporary seasonal
increases in certain inventories.  This additional increase in cash used for
operating assets in fiscal 1995 was partially offset primarily by increases 
in net earnings.  Working capital at May 28, 1995 was $15.7 million compared 
to $16.5 million at November 27, 1994.  The Company's current ratio of 2.1 
to 1 at May 28, 1995 remains unchanged from the current ratio at November 27, 
1994.

     Capital expenditures were $1.8 million in the 1995 period and $1.4 million
in the 1994 period.  Capital additions for all of 1995 are expected to 
approximate $5 million and will be primarily for profit improvement, 
replacement and capacity expansion.

     On January 4, 1995, the Company acquired all of the common stock of 
Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) for a cash purchase price (net of cash 
acquired) of $9.6 million.  The acquisition was financed principally through
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.  Goodwill 
recognized in connection with the purchase approximated $7.8 million.

     On February 6, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all 
of the net assets of its Leigh Products Division and all of the issued and 
outstanding capital stock of its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Leigh 
Metal Products, Ltd.  The cash generated from the sale approximated 
$6.0 million after deducting transaction expenses and the amount used in 
fiscal 1995 operations for the period prior to sale.

     The Senior Subordinated Debentures require annual sinking fund payments; 
however, as a result of the repurchase of debentures in 1990 and 1991, no 
principal maturities are due until 1999.  Under the terms of the revolving 
credit agreement, the Company can borrow up to $20 million.  As of May 28, 
1995, the available unused credit approximated $8 million under the 
asset-based formula of the agreement.


Results of Operations - Thirteen weeks ended May 28, 1995 compared to thirteen
weeks ended May 29, 1994 

     The comparability of operating results is affected by the acquisition of 
Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) (see Note B to the consolidated condensed 
financial statements) and the sale of Leigh businesses (see Note C).  
Operating results of the Leigh businesses are included in consolidated 
results for 1994 and excluded from 1995 consolidated results.  Operating 
results of RSI are included in consolidated results effective as of 
December 1, 1994.

     Consolidated net sales decreased from $36 million in the 1994 period to 
$33.5 million in the 1995 period.  Sales of continuing operations (excluding 
the Leigh businesses from 1994 amounts) increased by $2.5 million from 
$29.8 million in the 1994 period to $32.3 million in the 1995 period.  All 
product lines experienced increases.  Sales for the 1995 quarter were 
strongest in commercial security products and systems, custom cabinetry
and water source heat pumps.  RSI added net sales of $1.2 million in the 1995
period.

     Gross margin increased from $12.0 million in the 1994 period to $12.2 
million in the 1995 period.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin 
increased from 33.4% in the 1994 period to 36.4% in the 1995 period.  The 
elimination of the lower margin Leigh businesses combined with the 
acquisition of RSI contributed significantly to the improvement in gross 
margin percentages.  Higher sales volume of other product lines, particularly 
custom cabinetry, and improved labor efficiency also contributed to the gross
margin improvement.  Offsetting these factors were aluminum, brass and copper
cost increases which effected builder and consumer hardware gross margins.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased $400,000 (4.5%) 
from $9.6 million in the 1994 period to $9.2 million in the 1995 period.  
As a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and general expenses 
increased from 26.8% in the 1994 period to 27.5% in the 1995 period.  
Selling, administrative and general expenses for the 1995 period reflect a 
decrease due to the sale of Leigh businesses of $1.5 million partially offset 
by volume-related increases for all other operations.

     Interest expense increased slightly from $1.6 million in the 1994 period 
to $1.7 million in the 1995 period.  The higher interest expense is due to 
borrowings under the revolving credit agreement required to finance the 
acquisition of RSI.

     The 1995 provision for income taxes exceeds the amount expected using the 
statutory federal income rate of 34% due to primarily to state taxes and the 
tax effect of nondeductible goodwill amortization.  The 1994 provision for 
income taxes was based on an estimated annual effective rate of approximately
57% which was revised downward in subsequent quarters to an annual rate which
approximated the statutory rate.

     Net earnings were $760,000 ($.64 per share) in the 1995 period compared to
$303,000 ($.23 per share) in the 1994 period.


Results of Operations - Twenty-six weeks ended May 28, 1995 compared to 
twenty-six weeks ended May 29, 1994 

     The comparability of operating results if affected by the acquisition of 
Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) (see Note B to the consolidated condensed 
financial statements) and the sale of Leigh businesses (see Note C).  
Operating results of the Leigh businesses are included in consolidated 
results for 1994 and, except for the gain on the sale of $800,000, are 
excluded from 1995 consolidated results.  Operating results of RSI are 
included in consolidated results effective as of December 1, 1994.

      Consolidated net sales decreased from $67.5 million in the 1994 period
to $65.9 million in the 1995 period.  Sales of continuing operations (excluding
the Leigh businesses from 1994 amounts) increased by $7.7 million from $55.9
million in the 1994 period to $63.6 million in the 1995 period.  All product
lines experienced increases.  Sales for the 1995 first half were particularly
strong in consumer pruning and harvesting tools, commercial security products
and systems, custom cabinetry and water source heat pumps.  RSI added net
sales of $2.3 million in the 1995 period.

     Gross margin increased $1.3 million (5.7%) from $22.0 million in the 
1994 period to $23.3 million in the 1995 period.  As a percentage of net 
sales, gross margin increased from 32.6% in the 1994 period to 35.3% in the 
1995 period.  The elimination of the lower margin Leigh businesses combined 
with the acquisition of RSI contributed significantly to the improvement in 
gross margin percentages.  Higher sales volume of other product lines, 
particularly custom cabinetry and consumer pruning tools, and improved labor 
efficiency, also contributed to the gross margin improvement.  Offsetting 
these factors were aluminum, brass and copper cost increases which effected 
builder and consumer hardware gross margins.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased $800,000 (4.0%) 
from $18.9 million in the 1994 period to $18.1 million in the 1995 period.  
As a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and general expenses 
decreased from 27.9% in the 1994 period to 27.5% in the 1995 period.  
Selling, administrative and general expenses for the 1995 period reflect a 
decrease of $3.0 million due to the sale of the Leigh businesses partially 
offset by volume-related increases for all other operations.

     Interest expense increased from $3.2 million in the 1994 period to $3.4 
million in the 1995 period.  The higher interest expense is due to borrowings
under the revolving credit agreement required to finance the acquisition of 
Recognition Systems, Inc. 

     The 1995 provision for income taxes in less than the amount expected 
using the statutory federal income rate of 34% due to the tax effect of the 
gain on the sale of the Leigh businesses, which more than offsets the effect 
of state income taxes and nondeductible items (principally goodwill 
amortization).  The 1994 provision for income taxes was based on an estimated
annual effective rate of approximately 53% which was revised downward
in subsequent quarters to an annual rate which approximated the statutory 
rate.

     Net earnings were $1.9 million ($1.63 per share) in the 1995 period 
compared to a net loss of $28,000 ($(.12) per share) in the 1994 period.
