Applegate Door

Applegate Door Co. was formed 1978, by “Lawrie” Theurer, doing sales, service and installs of Garage Doors and Electric Openers.  At that time, the primary product was wooden garage doors.  The company has since grown and expanded its services and product line.  The residential market is now steel insulated doors, both with the traditional and carriage style design.  Applegate Door serves both the residential and commercial/industrial markets.  We do everything from pet doors to airplane hangers. 

 

In 1999, Applegate Door became the FIRST Accredited Door Dealer in Oregon. Currently there are 4 businesses in the state with the Certification of Accreditation by the International Door Education Association.  Lawrie has continued to achieve certification in several (6) areas of expertise.  In April, Lawrie received Automated Gate Operator Installer Certification.  We see an increase in home security with Electric Gate Openers, serving customers with residential gates, to keep livestock in or by restricting visitors.  The commercial gate opener allows for increased security for businesses, or subdivisions with higher usages, card readers, entrance and exit loops.
