Pronounced luh-GRAYNJ, the southern Lorain County village of LaGrange had 2,595 residents in 2020. It has grown quickly this century, from 1,815 residents in 2000 to 2,103 in 2010. The village takes its name from the Château de la Grange-Bléneau, the French home of the Marquis de Lafayette, the officer who fought for the Americans in the Revolutionary War.
A growing village means both older homes and newer ones, and garage doors of every age. Broken spring, slack cable, dead opener: phone for same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour. We also sell and fit new doors and openers.
A carriage-house door with a window row suits a house near the square, and a steel raised-panel door is a practical choice for a newer home. Amarr, Clopay and Wayne Dalton all make the styles LaGrange homeowners ask for, insulated for a warmer garage. See new door options.
Tired of lifting the door by hand? A Genie or LiftMaster opener takes over the job, and a keypad by the service door means no more digging for the remote. Details at opener installation.
For most of its history LaGrange was a very small place: 511 residents in 1880, 712 in 1950, and 1,007 by 1960. The 2010 census found 789 housing units and 726 households, 60.9% of them married couples and 40.6% with children under 18, with a median age of 41.4.
A village with that history has two kinds of garages. Older houses near the square may have small detached garages built long before automatic openers, sometimes with doors that were adapted later. Newer homes usually have wider attached doors with torsion springs and openers from the day they were built. We work on both, and before replacing anything we check the whole door, because a sticking door is sometimes a track or roller problem rather than a bad opener.
LaGrange gets the full run of Northeast Ohio seasons. In January a garage door can freeze to the floor overnight, and when the opener pulls against the ice something has to give, usually the bottom seal, a panel or the opener's gear.
If the door will not move on a cold morning, clear the ice at the bottom before trying again, and stop if the motor hums. A tune-up each fall keeps the springs, rollers and opener ready for winter.
Sherman's Circle, in downtown LaGrange, is owned and kept up by the LaGrange Township Trustees and holds a tribute statue to the Union soldiers of the Civil War. The LaGrange Municipal Building stands nearby.
Keystone High School, which serves the Keystone Local School District, is in LaGrange. Some scenes of the 2011 film Take Shelter were shot in the village, and the village counts professional baseball player Dorothy Maguire among its notable people.

Yes. Carriage-house styles with windows and decorative handles come in steel that looks like painted wood, so a new door can fit in beside the older homes.
The opener believes it hit an obstruction. The close-force setting or a misaligned sensor is the usual cause, and we can fix either quickly.
Yes. Addresses outside the village limits are covered too, with same-day service on most calls.
