Who We Are
Decker Equipment’s School Fix® Catalog is an industry-leading supplier and manufacturer of School-Specific Parts and Equipment, supplying schools and school districts nationwide for over 32 years.
Founded in 1989 and primarily focused on providing Chair Glides for School Furniture, Door Hardware, and Locker Handles. School Fix® has expanded into manufacturing many of its own patented product designs and representing many of the most recognizable and relied on School Furniture and Equipment Brands such as Virco, KI Krueger International, AmTab, National Public Seating, and many more. In 2020, School Fix® was selected by Virco as their exclusive National Parts Distributor, allowing us to comprehensively service school customers needing Virco Factory Replacement Parts or new Virco School Furniture.
We understand the importance of shipping your order fast, and School Fix® achieves this because we have the most extensive in-stock inventory of any of our competitors. In 2020, we finished construction on our new Customer Service and Warehouse Distribution Center here in Vassar, Michigan.
"Our customers rely on us for their school replacement parts to keep their school equipment operating safely and efficiently; getting the right parts shipped to them quickly is key,” says Max, our Warehouse Operations Manager.
In 2001, we expanded into manufacturing School Parking Lot and Interior Signs, Safety Cones, and Traffic Barricades. Our Sign Design and Creative Team Members are ready to help schools solve their safety and directional problems by getting the right sign in the right place.
"We love to turn a customer’s ordinary, boring school parking lot into looking like their favorite college campus,” says Missy, our School Fix® design department manager.
We feel strongly about building relationships with our valued customers, so knowledgeable customer care representatives mean everything to us. School Fix® has the experience to make sure that your quote or order gets put together correctly, without any surprises when the order arrives at your doorstep or loading dock. And everything doesn't need to go through the website! We are happy to take orders, give quotes, or problem-solve right over the phone. We love speaking with our customers; School Fix® has learned more about what is really going on with school maintenance and operations just by listening to our customers.
Decker Equipment’s School Fix® Catalog has designed and patented many of our own unique products, including Replacement Cafeteria Table Stool Tops, Q-Ball® Chair Glides for new furniture, and to retrofit existing furniture, along with Glide Caps, and Chair Tips to fit most school furniture brands.
"When I first started Decker Equipment, I would hear customer concerns about some of the parts we were selling, being hard to install or maybe not lasting as long as expected. So 20 years ago, I decided to focus a lot of attention on designs with better quality standards and began to manufacture them ourselves, giving us the ability to offer them at a more affordable price. And now that manufacturing ability has really caught on for us. Customers nationwide now rely on School Fix® to have the superior school-quality standards, in-stock same day shipping, at an affordable price," says John Chase, Founder, and CEO.
We have focused a lot of attention on our website. We know that online shopping and hopping from one website to another trying to find the parts and equipment you need can be a bit intimidating, with lots of choices and so many options. The Web Department at School Fix® Catalog updates information constantly, adding new tools to clearly display all of the information you need to make the choice that fits best for your school.
Whether it is on our website or over the phone, fax, or e-mail, we are always happy to hear from you, and we hope that you will give us a try and let us show you what a strong school/vendor relationship can do for you. For over 32 years, customers have relied on Decker Equipment School Fix® Catalog and website whenever they are looking for School-Specific Parts or Equipment. We are always happy to hear from you!
