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.

Our Mission
To provide innovative, durable, and efficient door and dock solutions tailored to the unique needs of our customers—while delivering unparalleled service you can trust.
Our History
Founded nearly five decades ago, 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 2023, 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
Joe Schenke brings extensive expertise in garage door installation, manufacturing, and service. As a longtime Fort Wayne resident with deep ties to the community, Joe is committed to upholding the company’s values while expanding its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of both residential and commercial customers.
