Birth Of A Business

In 1963, while working for an early manufacturer of radio-controlled openers, Jack Trout Sr. had a novel idea. He built a small replica of a home on the back of a truck with a working garage door to demonstrate the labor-saving benefits of automatic openers as he traveled from neighborhood to neighborhood. The demo worked so well that a year later he started his own business and Electronic Door-Lift (EDL) was born.

Growth And Service

After an early focus on providing residential garage doors and openers, EDL continued to grow. With the purchase of Gate Masters and several other manufacturing and service companies in the 1990s, we evolved into a single-source provider of hurricane-ready garage doors, automatic openers, custom aluminum gates, automated access systems, security barrier arms and other specialty products. The project scope swelled to include a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial applications throughout Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County.

Community Impact

EDL and Gate Masters’ roots in South Florida run deep … and so does our commitment to the people and communities we serve. In one unique initiative, we’ve partnered with the City of Fort Lauderdale Fire Department to help first responders save lives. Our contribution: Providing garage doors from previous projects for training demonstrations that show rookie firefighters how to access burning homes.
