At Fort Wayne Door & Dock, we’re more than just a door company—we’re your trusted local partner for reliable, safe, and high-quality garage door and dock solutions. Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, we proudly serve both homeowners and commercial facilities across Northeast Indiana with expert installation, repair, and maintenance services.
Since 1974, Fort Wayne Door & Dock has been a trusted provider of high-quality garage door and dock solutions for homes and businesses across the Greater Fort Wayne area. For over 50 years, we’ve served this community with locally based expertise, not as a franchise or a national chain, but as a family-owned business that understands the needs of Fort Wayne residents and business owners.
Unlike manufacturer-owned or private-equity-controlled companies, we prioritize service over sales, offering honest recommendations and solutions tailored to you.
We keep freight moving by servicing the doors and door operators at loading docks—including sectional/rolling overhead doors, jackshaft/hoist operators, photo-eyes, safety edges, springs, cables, tracks, and controls.
What we don’t do: dock levelers, seals/shelters, vehicle restraints, framing, or electrical. If you need those, we’re happy to refer trusted local specialists.
Founded nearly five decades ago in 1974, Fort Wayne Door & Dock began with a vision of providing customer-first service to the local community. Under longtime owner Gordon Murphy, we established a reputation for quality, reliability, and a no-pressure approach to service. In 2024, the company proudly entered a new chapter under the leadership of Joe Schenke, an industry expert with over 35 years of experience in garage door installation, manufacturing, and service.
Unlike big-box retailers or franchise operations, we are a true local business with a brick-and-mortar location where customers can visit us in person. Whether you need a new garage door, service, or expert advice, our doors are always open.
Our leadership team brings decades of hands-on experience to every project. Each technician is trained in modern repair and installation methods, with specialized expertise in fire door inspection and planned maintenance for commercial facilities. That mix of real-world skill and local commitment means our customers get results they can depend on—every time.
As a fully insured company, Fort Wayne Door & Dock has earned the confidence of thousands of local homeowners, businesses, and facility managers. From garage door installations to commercial overhead and dock systems, our team approaches every job with the same promise: to deliver quality work, done right, at a fair price.
Our values of trust, craftsmanship, and integrity guide everything we do. We believe in building lasting relationships with our customers—because when you call us, you’re not just getting a service, you’re getting a local partner who stands behind every job.
