Mechanical Door Repairers in the Bend Metro

BLS metro-level wage data places Mechanical Door Repairers pay in Bend, OR at a median of $48,880 per year ($23.50/hr), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared with the national median of $55,720, the metro estimate is 12% below. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause. Approximately 30 mechanical door repairers are employed across the Bend MSA in SOC 49-9011.

The Bend pay distribution spans from $48,250 at the 10th percentile to $62,810 at the 90th, a 1.3× observed spread. Differences in specialization, employer, sector, location, credentials, schedule, and experience may all contribute, but OEWS does not isolate their effects. The 25th percentile sits at $48,540 and the 75th at $58,390, so half of Bend-based mechanical door repairers earn within that middle band.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Bend, OR covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. OEWS includes straight-time pay, tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses. It excludes employer health and retirement benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, signing bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. The same occupation's national profile, statewide OR estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
