Grafton is a village on the East Branch of the Black River in southeastern Lorain County, with Eaton Township to the north and Grafton Township wrapped around its south side. The 2020 census counted 5,895 residents. Most of the village stands on land that once belonged to Eaton Township, and the separate Grafton Township, with 2,789 people, carries a name no other Ohio township uses.
Village street or township road, we handle every garage door problem: springs, cables, rollers, track, openers and new doors. Our promise is same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour in Grafton.
A carriage-house door dresses up an older house, and a simple raised-panel or flush door suits a ranch. Wayne Dalton, Amarr and Clopay doors come in widths for narrow older openings, and insulated versions warm up an attached garage. Browse new garage doors.
A Chamberlain belt-drive opener is quiet and reliable. See opener installation.
Grafton was platted in 1846, when the railroad was extended to this point, and its name may have been carried over from Grafton, Massachusetts. By 1852 the Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland Railroad was running a Grafton line through Oberlin. The village stayed small for a century: 600 residents in 1890, 1,098 in 1900 and 1,194 in 1950. It then grew to 2,231 by 1980, and the 2000 census counted 2,302 people in 832 households, with 853 housing units.
Whether your house dates from the railroad era or went up in the last few decades, its garage door has its own set of parts. Older doors may still hang on extension springs, while most newer ones use torsion springs, and we carry both. We size springs to your door's weight so it lifts evenly and the opener is not straining.
The East Branch of the Black River flows north past Grafton toward Elyria, and ground near a river holds moisture. Garage floors stay damp, bottom seals mildew and split, and the cable anchors at the bottom corners corrode.
If you notice rust along the bottom of the door or a cable starting to fray, call before it lets go. We replace corroded hardware and weatherstrip the bottom edge, and a yearly tune-up catches wear before it becomes a breakdown.
State Route 57 connects the village with Elyria and is called Grafton Road where State Route 82 begins on it in Carlisle Township, and State Route 303 ends at Route 83 in Grafton Township. Midview High School, whose district formed in 1953 from the Grafton Local, Grafton Village, Eaton Local and East Carlisle Local schools, stands just north of the village.
Grafton has sent three players to Major League Baseball: Ryan Feierabend, Eric Lauer and Ed McKean. South of the village, Grafton Township borders Liverpool Township and Litchfield Township across the Medina County line.
Excellent, quick, and professional service! I highly recommend.

Yes. The village and the township are both on our routes, along with the neighboring Medina County townships.
If the sections are straight and not rusted through, new springs, rollers and a tune-up can keep it going. If it is dented, rotted or badly rusted, we’ll show you replacement options.
A cable has probably slipped or snapped on one side. Stop using the door and call us, because the other cable and spring are now carrying all the weight.
