“The Door Stud product won the Best in Show award as it integrates seamlessly with all door applications, interior or exterior doors, commercial or multi-family and national or international construction. The simplicity, cost, durability and ease of use of the Door Stud made it a standout product.” 

It’s what one of the judges had to say about the Best in Show Winner, Door Stud, at the 2023 Best of IBS Awards. Winners were announced on the final day of the NAHB International Builders’ Show^® (IBS) in Las Vegas. 

Best in Show Winner: Door Stud

The Door Stud is a tool that revolutionizes how doors are handled, installed and re-installed by the trades, builders, flooring and painting professionals.  

The Door Stud product creates efficiencies for four specific groups: Consumers, contractors, builders and remodelers. It saves time by eliminating damage to the door, frame, sheetrock or flooring, reducing or eliminating callbacks.  

Door Stud eliminates the need for a two-person installation while ensuring a level and secure placement. It’s an employee-friendly tool as it bears the weight of the door unit and effortlessly moves heavy doors across multiple surfaces and holds the door securely in place. 

The onsite judges were also impressed that Door Stud is a cross-functional tool that can be used for moving granite, glass or large mirrors across multiple surfaces.
