Ontario is a Richland County city in the Mansfield metropolitan area, with 6,656 residents at the 2020 census. It was founded in 1834 on the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, just west of Mansfield, and today it is a regional retail hub serving all of North-Central Ohio, with a shopping population of more than 150,000.
At home, Ontario is quieter: 2,778 households in 2,961 housing units, 48.1% of households married couples, and a median age of 43.1. About 83.0% of residents live in urban areas and 17.0% in rural ones. Wherever you are in the city, we offer same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour. We're available 24/7.
Replacing a builder-grade door with an insulated Clopay, Amarr or Wayne Dalton model makes an attached garage warmer and quieter. See door installation. We also install LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with battery backup; opener installation.
As Richland County's retail hub, Ontario has plenty of stores, offices and service buildings with overhead doors. We provide commercial door repair and operator service for them.
Hiram Cook founded Ontario and platted it in December 1834 in Springfield Township. That same month it merged with New Castle, a small settlement just to the west on the newly laid-out Mansfield and Bucyrus road, now State Route 309. New Castle may have been named for Henry Cassell or for Newcastle upon Tyne in England. Ontario itself was named after Ontario County, New York, the founder's home. The Atlantic and Great Western Railroad reached Ontario in 1863, and a station was built, though it was later torn down after the line was abandoned.
The Lincoln Highway came through in 1913 and became U.S. Route 30 in 1928. In 1956 a large auto-body stamping plant was built in Springfield Township, and on June 25, 1958, residents voted to incorporate Ontario as a village to bring the plant inside its limits. Ontario High School opened in 1960 with an indoor swimming pool, a theatre and three shops, city offices moved into the Charles K. Hellinger Municipal Building in 1986, and Ontario became a city on April 30, 2001.
Since the 1960s Ontario has been a favorite place to build homes, so most houses here date from the last six decades, with attached two- and three-car garages. Their original springs and openers are now wearing out, and that is most of what we fix.
Ontario sits on high ground at the plateau's edge; the county's highest point, second highest in Ohio, is just southwest in Springfield Township off Lexington-Ontario Road. Up here the wind drives snow under a tired bottom seal, and cold mornings finish off springs that were already worn.
Fresh weatherstrip and a yearly balance check keep drafts out and the door moving evenly.
Ontario Public Schools enroll 1,820 students across three schools, one elementary, one middle and Ontario High School, and the Mansfield/Richland County Public Library has an Ontario branch. U.S. Route 30 is a four-lane limited-access highway west toward Bucyrus, opened in 2005, and State Routes 309, 314 and 430 cross the city, with Park Avenue West connecting to downtown Mansfield. Richland County Transit runs fixed bus routes in Ontario and Mansfield. Charles F. Wishart, president of the College of Wooster from 1919 to 1944, is among Ontario's notable people.

We called proactive they came on time and great service and wonderful to work with the company
Narsimha K. · September 2026
Yes. We tune up, balance and inspect both doors and both openers on the same visit.
If they are the originals, probably soon. Standard springs are rated for a set number of open-and-close cycles, and a household with two drivers uses them up faster than most people expect.

Off Park Avenue West or out on Lexington-Springmill Road, give us a call and a technician will head your way.
