IPIK Doors by Avalon

IPIK Door Company was founded in 1933 by the Pick family on the site of the Anchor Sawmill, which was building boat oars for the US Navy. The company was named after its founder, I. Pick. During IPIK's first decade it manufactured marine and specialty plywood in support of the war effort - IPIK even built plywood used to construct some of the Higgins Landing Craft used during WWII. After the war, Louis Pick, president of IPIK from 1947-1976 applied his knowledge of structural plywood to build a new type of door using a crossband under its face. This construction stabilized the face and imparted a greater strength leading to the 5-ply door that is the standard today. IPIK moved into the computer age in 1984 with an in-house designed order-entry and archival system. This system allows us some of the shortest lead times in the industry as well as the ability to match an order manufactured decades ago.
