COMPX REPORTS HIGHER SALES AND PROFITS
FOR THIRD QUARTER 2004

Dallas,  TEXAS ... October 26, 2004 ... CompX  International  Inc.  (NYSE:  CIX)
announced  today sales of $56.0  million  for the third  quarter of 2004 and net
income of $3.9 million,  or $0.26 per diluted share. This represents an increase
in sales of 7% from $52.5  million in the year ago quarter.  For the  comparable
2003 quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $400,000,  or $0.03 per diluted
share,  which  included a pre-tax  restructuring  charge of $3.5  million  ($2.0
million,  or $0.13 per diluted share,  net of income tax benefit)  relating to a
formal  headcount  reduction plan at the company's  Maastricht,  the Netherlands
manufacturing facility.

Net sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 were $165.8 million
compared to $153.3  million for same period of the previous year. Net income for
the  nine-month  period in 2004 was $8.7  million,  or $0.58 per diluted  share,
compared to $500,000, or $0.03 per diluted share in 2003.

"Third  quarter  sales  continued  the  improvements  experienced  in the second
quarter  of this  year,"  commented  David A.  Bowers,  President  and CEO.  "In
addition  to the  increase  in  demand,  ongoing  benefits  from cost  reduction
activities  implemented  over the last two years continued to positively  impact
our results."

Security Products Segment
CompX  Security  Products  experienced  a 2%  increase in net sales in the third
quarter of 2004 to $19.1 million compared to the same quarter last year of $18.8
million.  Net sales for this  segment  increased 3% on a  year-to-date  basis to
$57.6  million from $56.0  million in 2003  primarily,  as a result of a general
market  improvement and new customer  additions.  Third quarter operating income
decreased  from $2.9  million in 2003 to $2.5  million in 2004.  The decrease in
operating  income was primarily  attributable to higher raw material and medical
costs and a change in product  mix due to a  relatively  higher  volume of lower
margin products. For the year-to-date period, operating income improved slightly
to $7.7  million in 2004  compared  to $7.6  million in 2003.  The  year-to-date
operating  income  improvements  were  primarily  due to the  increase  in sales
volumes and  improved  manufacturing  efficiencies  as a result of earlier  cost
reduction  efforts,  offset by the higher raw material and medical costs and the
change in product mix.

Waterloo Segment
Net sales for the Waterloo  segment  increased 7% to $27.1  million in the third
quarter of 2004 from $25.3 million in the third quarter of 2003 and increased 9%
for the  nine-month  period from $72.0 million in 2003 to $78.3 million in 2004.
The increase is primarily related to higher precision slide product volumes with
certain  customers and increases in certain  precision slide product  surcharges
and prices  primarily  to recover the dramatic  rise in raw material  prices for
steel during the year. In addition,  the strengthening of the Canadian dollar in
2004 in relation to the US dollar increased sales by approximately  $1.8 million
in the first nine  months of 2004 as  compared  to the same  period in 2003 (the
third quarter  effect  increased  sales by  approximately  $350,000).  Operating
income for this segment was $2.5 million in the third  quarter of 2004  compared
to $300,000 in the comparable prior year quarter,  and was $200,000 in the first
nine months of 2003  compared to $5.2  million in the first nine months of 2004.
The increases in operating income are primarily attributable to improved margins
resulting from a lower fixed cost structure in 2004,  non-recurring  expenses of
approximately  $900,000 in the first nine months of 2003  ($100,000 in the third
quarter)  associated  with  the  consolidation  of the  Company's  two  Canadian
facilities,  and to  some  extent,  overall  product  mix and  pricing  changes.
Relative  changes in currency  exchange rates negatively  impacted  year-to-date
operating income  comparisons by  approximately  $1.1 million but did not have a
significant impact on the third quarter results.

Thomas Regout Segment
Net sales for the Thomas  Regout  segment  increased  11% to $9.9 million in the
third  quarter of 2004 from $8.9 million in the third  quarter of 2003.  For the
2004 nine-month  period, net sales increased 16% to $30.5 million as compared to
$26.3 million for 2003.  The  improvement  in net sales is due to an increase in
orders from  European  customers  and the  strengthening  of the euro in 2004 in
relation to the US dollar,  which increased sales by approximately  $2.7 million
in the first nine  months of 2004 as  compared  to the same  period in 2003 (the
third quarter  effect  increased  sales by  approximately  $700,000).  The third
quarter of 2004 operating  income for this segment was $1.0 million  compared to
an  operating  loss of $3.5  million in 2003.  The 2004  year-to-date  operating
income  was $1.5  million,  compared  to a loss of $5.4  million  for 2003.  The
operating  losses  in  the  2003  periods  included  the  previously   mentioned
restructuring  charge of $3.5 million.  The  improvement in operating  income is
primarily  the  result of the  successful  restructuring  actions  taken in 2003
combined with the increase in sales.  The impact of relative changes in currency
exchange rates on operating  income  comparisons  was not  significant  for this
segment.

Mr. Bowers concluded, "We are continuing to focus on developing new products and
customers,  as well as on managing our cost  structure to improve  profitability
and  competitiveness,  especially in an environment of increasing  pressure from
offshore  competitors and from  escalating raw material  costs.  Over the coming
months,  we do expect  certain  customers  to move at least a  portion  of their
volume to Asian  sources.  However,  we are  aggressively  pursuing  new  market
opportunities  with a focused  product  development  program that is expected to
reduce the impact of the loss of some sales volume to Asian competition."

Liquidity and Cash Flow
Cash  provided by operating  activities  improved to $20.8  million for the 2004
nine-month  period  compared to $14.1 million in the prior year. The improvement
in cash  provided by  operating  activities  was  primarily  due to the improved
operating results.  During the first nine months of 2004, the Company utilized a
portion of its  available  cash balances to reduce debt by  approximately  $26.0
million.

products and ergonomic computer support systems.

Statements in this release relating to matters that are not historical facts are
forward-looking  statements based upon management's belief and assumptions using
currently  available  information.  Although  CompX  believes  the  expectations
reflected in such forward-looking  statements are reasonable, it cannot give any
assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements, by
their  nature,   involve   substantial  risks  and   uncertainties   that  could
significantly  impact expected  results,  and actual future results could differ
materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.  While it is
not  possible to identify all  factors,  CompX  continues to face many risks and
uncertainties.  Among the factors  that could  cause  actual  future  results to
differ  materially  include,  but are  not  limited  to,  general  economic  and
political conditions,  demand for office furniture,  service industry employment
levels,  competitive  products  and prices,  fluctuations  in currency  exchange
rates, the introduction of trade barriers, potential difficulties in integrating
completed  acquisitions  and other risks and  uncertainties  detailed in CompX's
Securities and Exchange  Commission  filings.  Should one or more of these risks
materialize (or the  consequences of such a development  worsen),  or should the
underlying  assumptions prove incorrect,  actual results could differ materially
from those  forecasted or expected.  CompX disclaims any intention or obligation
to  publicly  update  or  revise  such  statements  whether  as a result  of new
information, future events or otherwise.
