Down in Portage County's southwestern corner, Suffield Township counted 5,973 residents in 2020. Part of the village of Mogadore is in its northwest, and the hamlet of Suffield, a census-designated place, occupies the middle. The rest is lake country: Mogadore Reservoir, Wingfoot Lake and a kettle-hole bog left by the glaciers.
Homes near water need garage doors that can take damp air, and homes on rural roads need doors that can take a long winter. When yours can't, call us 24/7. We fix springs, cables, rollers and openers and install new doors, with same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour.
Galvanized steel with a baked finish shrugs off damp better than wood. We hang Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton doors, insulated models too; see new garage doors. Match it with a LiftMaster or Genie opener from our opener installs.
The first European settlers arrived in June 1802: Royal Pease, his wife Deborah and their children Delia and Albert, from Suffield, Connecticut. For a while the place was called Peasetown, though never officially. When the township was formally organized on April 6, 1818, settlers from Suffield, Connecticut, asked that it carry their hometown's name, and it is still the only Suffield Township in Ohio. At the 2002 bicentennial, Suffield, Connecticut, sent a proclamation and an American Liberty elm tree.
A Suffield post office ran from 1836 to 1966, and a settlement called Mishler in the southwest had its own from 1882 to 1917. Today the township is a mix of lake homes, newer houses and farm properties, which means garage doors of all ages and weights. Before replacing a spring we weigh the door, because an older wood door and a new steel one need very different springs.
Many homes here sit close to a lake or the reservoir, and that keeps the air damp. That moisture rusts the springs and the hinges, and it swells wood doors so they rub against the jambs.
Winter adds ice and road salt. Keep the tracks clear and have the door tuned up once a year so rust is caught before a spring or cable lets go.
Mogadore Reservoir, a 1,104-acre artificial lake owned by the city of Akron, was built in 1939 by damming Hale Creek and the Little Cuyahoga River, and today it is mostly used for recreation, with public fishing areas kept by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Roughly half of it is in neighboring Brimfield Township. Wingfoot Lake, once known as Fritch's Pond after settler John Fritch, is now state land: 121 acres became Wingfoot Lake State Park in 2010, and 569 more became the Wingfoot Wildlife Area. The blimp hangar on its southern shore is the oldest airship hangar in the United States. The Flatiron Lake Bog preserve protects a 97-acre kettle-hole bog formed about 12,000 years ago.
Most students attend the Field Local School District, created in 1959 when the Suffield and Brimfield districts merged. Suffield Elementary is in the township, while Field High School, opened in 1961, stands just north of the line in Brimfield.

A yearly tune-up with fresh lubricant, and galvanized or coated springs when replacements are due. We can check them on the same visit.
Yes. Suffield addresses in Mogadore, the Suffield area and along the lakes are all covered.
Often a hinge and track adjustment is enough. If the wood has warped badly, a steel door with a wood-grain finish is a lasting fix.
