The 1970s saw the start of the ongoing product development within Modric, including the introduction high performance hinges, locks and door closers. Modric commenced its development towards becoming the world's most comprehensive range of visual and mechanical hardware available from a single producer. The main Modric catalogue was an A1 size wallchart which soon became Allgood's trademark with customers.

At this time the code numbers ran from A1 to A10,000 (A10,000 being coffin handles). Derrick Carter-Clout was always remembered for saying, "These should see us out!" The Modric Spectra colour range which was originally introduced with 12 colours was expanded to 365 colours - one for each day of the year!

During this decade Allgood also started its export activities into The Middle East, Japan and the USA by establishing new overseas distributors and supporting them with extensive overseas trips.

In 1972, 12 years after selling Allgood to Union Corporation, Derrick Carter-Clout and Paul Shirville bought the company back and regained their independence.
