Join IDEA in Promoting Excellence

IDEA was formed in 1996 by three industry trade associations, after more than a decade of discussions regarding the best means of promoting safety and professionalism in the door and access systems industry. One of the founding organizations – the American Rolling Door Institute – voted to merge with the Door and Access Systems Manufacturers Association in 2006.
