Company Background
Established in 1961 by Ken Monnin, Dayton Door Sales has grown from its modest beginnings to become the region’s most recognized door experts. Ken molded Dayton Door Sales into arguably one of the most professional door companies in the industry, culminating with his Presidency of the national industry association, The Door & Operator Dealer’s Association (DODA), in 1990. This organization is now known as The International Door Association (IDA). Dayton Door Sales strongly believes in this industry association and subscribes to its “code of conduct” of sound business practices, as well as other programs, including the certification of installers by the education arm of IDA which is IDEA – Institute of Door Dealer Education & Accreditation.
Fortunately, 3 of Ken's 11 children became involved with the business to continue to carry on a very particular culture of service and satisfaction and to guide the policies of the company for its customers.
At Dayton Door Sales, it is really about the customer. Our customers can rest assured that all of the Dayton Door Sales employees - the professional installers and technicians, administration, sales and the leadership all CARE about our customers’ satisfaction above all else! The loyal and skilled employees provide great service and superior work each and every day. Our customers enjoy the simplicity, efficiency and peace of mind of doing business with us.
We are rich with heritage, stability and know how. Building on the culture of the past and injecting the new technologies of today, the company continues to be the leader in the Region.
In 2010, Dayton Door Sales purchased Graf & Sons in Columbus, OH and now operates it as Columbus Door Sales in the Central Ohio market. We are duplicating our same expertise and success in Columbus as we have in Dayton for the last 55+ years.
From Then to Now... Integrity. Value. Experience.
