PowerLift Doors by French Manufacturing
20960 636th Street Dodge Center, MN

Welcome to our family-owned and operated business in Dodge Center, Minnesota. Rod French, founder, opened his steel shop in 2001 after years in the industry. His son-in-law and daughter, Greg and Calli Giesler, are an active part of the operation. Do contact us about your next door project!

We are your local PowerLift hydraulic door manufacturers, with designs that suit any new aviation, industrial, farm, or architectural project. Once we have built your door, we will deliver and install it. When we drive away, installation is complete, and your door is operational.
Our depth of experience is unmatched, as we have tens of thousands of doors working every day all over the continent. We are also specialists in every aspect of removing and replacing old sliding, bifold, fabric, and overhead doors with PowerLift retrofits. Our retrofits will expand your current clear opening height and width for improved ease of entry.
We’ll be happy to come by and measure your building next time we’re in the area. Your personal door will be custom built here at our shop. Our all-welded construction, exclusive to PowerLift, creates a precise fit and stops the problems that occur when bolts and screws loosen over time. With PowerLift, there’s a single person responsible for your door project from start to finish.
