Our mission was, and still is, to share our knowledge and help entrepreneurs build their own successful businesses while avoiding costly mistakes that can easily happen when growing and running a business. In September 2019, Open Doors Inc started offering opportunities for people to own an Access Garage Doors.

Day in the life of the franchisee
The typical day for a franchise owner can vary depending on whether they choose to be hands-on or take a more passive role in their business. Owners start by handling customer inquiries, booking repair calls, and scheduling door estimates. They are equipped with MyAccess, our comprehensive resource platform, which provides all the tools and processes needed to manage operations efficiently.
For retail repair/service calls, franchise owners or their technicians arrive on-site to resolve garage door issues, becoming the “hero” for customers who are stuck. Using our proven sales scripts and product menus, they walk the customer through the best options for repairs. With fully stocked, branded Access trucks, they can complete the job immediately, using our integrated software to accept payments on-site.
For retail door sales, the franchise owner or salesperson visits customers to provide estimates for new garage doors. Using structured sales resources, they present options to the customer and secure a deposit. If the product is available locally, the installation can happen within a few days, or it may take 2-4 weeks when ordered from the manufacturer.
On the home builder side, franchise owners work to acquire builder accounts for recurring door installation contracts. These builders could be high-volume national accounts or custom home builders. Access Garage Doors already has valuable relationships that can help franchisees secure this type of business. Additionally, we provide guidance on how to navigate potential challenges, ensuring a smooth and profitable relationship with builders.
