Safety Standards & Culture | Wilcox Door Service Inc.

Wilcox Door Service’s COR-certified, unionized Ironworkers deliver zero-harm safety on every commercial door, dock, gate, and access-control service.

Safety-First, Always — For Our People and Yours

At Wilcox Door Service Inc., safety is not just a policy — it’s a culture that drives every decision we make, from how we dispatch technicians to how we install and maintain your doors, docks, and access systems. As a COR-certified company with unionized in-house technicians, we lead with proactive planning, industry certifications, and an unwavering commitment to zero harm.

Our safety-first mindset ensures that our team returns home safely at the end of every day — and that your site, staff, and equipment remain protected throughout every service or installation.

Our Commitment to Safety

Wilcox Door Service combines COR certification, a unionized in-house team, zero subcontracting, weekly toolbox talks, and a dedicated safety officer to uphold consistent, accountable safety standards.
