Overview of IDEA

The Institute of Door Dealer Education and Accreditation (IDEA) is a non-profit educational foundation established to serve the needs of the general public through effective professional development within the automated access systems industry, also known as the door and access systems industry.

Benefits to Consumers

IDEA’s first goal is to provide useful information to educate consumers when making decisions regarding the purchase, repair, maintenance or testing of a garage door or other automated access system. Additionally, IDEA seeks to help consumers, whether residential or commercial, to recognize quality within the door and access systems industry as a means of promoting safety and avoiding problems associated with unqualified technicians.

IDEA is a private, independent organization and validates professionals within the industry who meet high standards. These programs include Door Dealer Accreditation, Residential Installer Certification, Rolling Steel Fire Door Technician Certification and Commercial Sectional Door Systems Technician Certification.

By asking for these qualifications, consumers can make more informed decisions when purchasing or repairing a garage door or other automated access systems product.
