At the southwest end of Cuyahoga County, Olmsted Township is one of only two civil townships left in the county, the other being Chagrin Falls Township. No other Ohio township carries the Olmsted name. The 2020 count found 14,506 residents in the township.
Township living doesn't change what a garage door needs. Springs wear out, cables fray, rollers crack and openers quit. We handle every one of those, we answer 24/7, and we fit replacement doors and openers when yours are finished.
If your garage is attached to the house, an insulated steel door keeps winter out of the rooms next to it. On a detached garage, a durable non-insulated door is often plenty. Good choices include Wayne Dalton and Clopay, with Amarr as another option; read about door replacement.
For a garage set back from the road, a LiftMaster or Chamberlain opener connected to an app lets you confirm from the kitchen that the door is closed. Genie models are a solid budget choice. More on installing an opener.
After the Revolutionary War this land was part of the Western Reserve, claimed by Connecticut. The Connecticut Land Company divided it into townships and sold them at auction, and almost half of Township 6, Range 15 went to Aaron Olmsted, a sea captain from East Hartford, Connecticut. He died in 1806, before the sale was final, so the land passed to his widow and three sons in 1807, and they sold it off to settlers.
The township was called Kingston for a while, then organized as Lenox in 1823. There was already a Lenox Township in Ashtabula County, so a resident suggested honoring Aaron Olmsted instead. His son Charles Hyde Olmsted was so pleased that he sent about 500 books by oxcart from Connecticut. They became known as the Oxcart Library.
One of the oldest houses still standing is the John and Maria Adams House. Its oldest part was built in 1820, the year John Adams married Maria Hoadley, whose family came from Waterbury, Connecticut. Later owners added the Italianate tower and wings, and the house joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Over time, the township gave up land to its neighbors. Olmsted Falls was formed from it in 1856, North Olmsted took the northern part in 1909, and Westview split off in 1927. Berea, Brook Park and North Olmsted also annexed pieces. Even after all that, the township is home to 14,506 people, and its garages range from old detached buildings to wide attached two-car doors.
Olmsted Township sits about 781 feet above sea level, with no lake to soften the winters. Wind packs snow against whichever garage faces it, and salt from the main roads rides home on every car.
Those winters test a door. Seals stiffen and crack, springs work hardest on the coldest days, and a door frozen to the slab can tear its bottom seal if the opener forces it. If yours is stuck, don't keep hitting the button. Phone us and a technician will work it loose so the panels stay straight.
The township touches North Olmsted to the north, Brook Park to the northeast, Olmsted Falls and Berea to the southeast, Columbia Township to the south, Eaton Township at the southwest corner and North Ridgeville to the west. A rail line built in 1853 cuts east to west through it.
Mail uses ZIP code 44138, shared with Olmsted Falls, and children attend the Olmsted Falls City Schools. The John and Maria Adams House on Columbia Road is one of the township's historic homes. A three-member board of trustees runs township government.

It never incorporated, so it remains a civil township, one of only two left in Cuyahoga County. For garage door service, that makes no difference. We cover every road in it.
