COMPX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2006 RESULTS

Dallas,  TEXAS ... November 1, 2006 ... CompX  International  Inc.  (NYSE:  CIX)
announced  today third quarter sales of $48.8 million for 2006 compared to $47.1
million in the same  period of 2005.  Operating  income was $6.2  million in the
third quarter of 2006  compared to $4.8 million in the same period of 2005.  Net
income  from  continuing  operations  for the  third  quarter  of 2006  was $3.8
million,  or $0.25 per diluted  share,  compared to a loss of $6.1  million,  or
$0.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2005. The results for the third
quarter of 2005  include a non-cash  income  tax  charge of  approximately  $9.0
million ($0.59 per diluted  share) due to a change in the Company's  expectation
relating to the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings.

For the  nine-month  period ended  September  30, 2006,  net sales  increased to
$146.0 million compared to $139.7 million in the previous year. Operating income
improved to $16.8  million for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2006
compared to $13.6  million for the  comparable  period of 2005.  Net income from
continuing  operations for the nine-month  period in 2006 was $10.1 million,  or
$0.66  per  diluted  share,  compared  to a loss of $1.5  million,  or $0.10 per
diluted share in 2005.  The loss from  continuing  operations for the nine-month
period in 2005 was impacted by the non-cash tax charge discussed above.

Net sales  comparisons  were  positively  impacted by  additional  sales volumes
resulting from acquisitions  within our new marine components segment and volume
increases  within security  products which were partially offset by sales volume
decreases in the furniture components segment. Operating income comparisons were
favorably  impacted by an improved  product mix, the  continued  benefit of cost
improvement  initiatives and by the  acquisitions  referred to above,  partially
offset by the net negative  impact of changes in currency  exchange rates on our
furniture  components  segment. In addition to the items noted above, net income
from  continuing  operations  comparisons  were  favorably  impacted  by a lower
effective tax rate in 2006  (excluding the impact of the $9.0 million tax charge
discussed above) due to a higher  percentage of our income in 2006 being derived
from U.S. operations as compared to 2005.

"Our acquisition of two performance marine components  manufacturers  along with
organic sales growth in our security products segment contributed  significantly
to our year over year sales growth," commented David A. Bowers, President & CEO.
"The favorable  contribution  from these segments is being  partially  offset by
declines in the  furniture  components  segment due to our decision to eliminate
certain  low  margin  sales.  As a  result,  despite  the sales  decline  in the
furniture  components segment,  operating income for the quarter improved due to
the effect of  remaining  volumes  carrying  higher  margins  and the benefit of
continued cost structure reduction efforts.  Total operating income is up by 30%
compared to the same quarter in 2005 due to the improved bottom line performance
of furniture  components  along with  stronger  overall  results  from  security
products.  While  our  strategy  to  focus on the  bottom  line  may  result  in
additional  sales  declines  within  furniture  components in the short term, we
expect the long term  effect to  increase  both sales and profits for CompX as a
whole."

CompX is a leading  manufacturer of security products,  furniture components and
performance  marine  components.  It operates from eight  locations in the U.S.,
Canada and Taiwan, employing more than 1,200 people.

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,  the  ability to sustain or increase  operating  income
improvement  resulting from cost control initiatives,  uncertainties  associated
with new  product  development  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  forecast 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.
