OUR HERITAGE
Dillard Door & Entrance Control’s portfolio is more diverse than ever. A company that has firmly stood the test of time, we take pride in solving any entrance-control and security need our customers have.
A PARTNER IN RICH COMMUNITY TRADITIONS
Dillard Door is proud to be part of many Memphis traditions. From installing the first gate for Elvis Presley’s Graceland Mansion to more modern-day solutions, our commercial and residential portfolio is unrivaled. In fact, Dillard installed the custom door for the Memphis Tigers locker room at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. This glass-mirror, quick-rolling overhead door opens right onto the football field from the locker room. Tiger fans and the players alike spill over with enthusiasm as soon as the door begins its ascent!
