For nearly 45 years, the Boise Door Shop has delivered superior quality doors and trim to Treasure Valley customers. Recently, however, they’ve been a bit “off the hook.” Manager Trent McKnight has urged the door shop crew to “keep it reel,” stressing that “good things come to those who bait.” You could say the door shop, in addition to being the home of the best doors and trim in Boise, is planning to wiggle their way to the big prizes in Franklin’s Fishing Derby. Here are a few of the door shop stars. With more than seven years under his belt, Doug Cox is a fully vested employee owner and a darned good driver. Here’s an interesting fact: Doug has never fished in his life. How is that possible? Seems amazing since he spends so much time outside four-wheeling and geocaching. We all challenge Doug to end the drought this year and cast his first line. FISHY BUSINESS AT BOISE DOOR

“I really want to thank Jared Evans for helping to get a manlift to the Elko location. They needed to borrow the manlift from Twin Falls to perform work on their cantilever racking, and Jared went out of this way to get the lift on the transfer truck and down to Elko. Thanks, Jared!”

“Dallas Sorenson noticed that our miter saw in the warehouse had a blade guard that had stopped rotating. To operate the saw, people would have to hold the guard with one hand and trigger with the other. He declared it unsafe, tagged it out, and arranged for it to be sent out for repair. When it returned, he took the time to reinstall it so it operated safely. I know this inconvenienced us for a while, but it was the safe, intelligent thing to do. Way to go, Dallas!”
him occupied when he’s not playing softball or working out. The Fishing Derby has him thinking about dropping a line again. The fish are calling you, Willy! Gabe Taylor says his style of fishing is “lazy- man bobber.” We can relate, Gabe; there is nothing like relaxing at the end of the dock with a pole in the water and a cooler by your side. Gabe earns all the relaxing time he can manage after his hard work in receiving at the door shop. Let’s call his fishing this year “reel therapy.”
–Peter Moore, Inside Sales Manager, Pocatello
Daniel Loseke is loaded with desire to catch fish. In fact, he’s caught more fish in more states than most people. This native of Nebraska, who went to college in Texas and came to the door shop after a stint in McCall,
is itching to change our company motto to “We Make Fishing Easy.” When he’s not dreaming of fish, Daniel keeps busy handling returns for the door shop.
