The Central States Door Dealer Association (CSDDA), an affiliate of the celebrated International Door Association (IDA), stands as a vibrant cornerstone within the garage door and access control industry. Our association proudly boasts a diverse membership comprised of dedicated door dealers, resourceful distributors, and innovative manufacturers from across our expansive service area.

CSDDA's roots run deep, extending back to its inception in 1974 as the Illinois Door Association. Driven by a commitment to unity and advancement, a group of industry pioneers recognized the invaluable benefits of networking and information sharing. They envisioned an organization where door professionals could connect, exchange ideas, explore educational opportunities, and collaborate to shape the future of the industry. Their vision became a reality, and the Illinois Door Association began its journey, setting the foundation for the CSDDA we know today.

Over the decades, the association has grown and evolved, expanding its reach to encompass not only Illinois but also neighboring states such as Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa. Today, the CSDDA is comprised of four vibrant chapters strategically located in Southeast Wisconsin/Milwaukee, Northern Illinois/Chicagoland, Central Illinois/Bloomington, and the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. Each chapter serves as a hub of activity, hosting regular meetings, educational seminars, and networking events designed to foster strong relationships and promote industry excellence within their respective regions.
