Parts We Carry
Lakewood has around 26,125 households, and a good share of those sit on garages built in the early-to-mid 1970s - the neighborhood's median year built is 1974, noticeably older than the 1987 median across the wider service area. That gap matters for parts. Houses from this era were often built with single-layer steel doors, narrower standard openings, and extension spring systems instead of the torsion setups that became common later. When we install new, we're usually swapping out one of those older units entirely rather than matching hardware to it.
We stock steel sectional doors in the common widths this area still uses - single bays and standard doubles - along with torsion spring conversions for homes that are still running extension springs over the door. Insulated panels are worth asking about if your garage shares a wall with living space, which is common in houses built on these older, tighter lots. We also carry openers rated for the belt or chain drive most homeowners here are replacing. What we don't keep on the truck is anything custom-sized or carriage-style - those get special-ordered, and that adds lead time you should plan around before you set a date.
