What We Do in Wadsworth

Wadsworth is one of the oldest towns in Medina County. It was founded on March 1, 1814, and named after General Elijah Wadsworth, a Revolutionary War hero and War of 1812 officer who owned the largest share of the land that became the county. At the 2020 census, 24,007 people lived here.

Snapped springs, frayed cables, doors sitting crooked or off their rollers, and openers of every major brand: that's our daily Wadsworth work. We fit replacement doors and openers too, sized for the house you actually have.

Repairs for Old and New Wadsworth Garages

  • Broken springs. Torsion springs over the opening or extension springs along the tracks, we replace both springs and balance the door. See spring repair.
  • Rusty or snapped cables. If one side of the door sits lower than the other, a cable has likely failed. See cable repair.
  • Openers that quit. Stripped gears, dead logic boards and lost remote codes are usually fixable. See opener repair.
  • Worn bottom seals. A cracked seal lets snow and leaves blow in under the door. See weatherstripping.

Replacing a Door or Opener in Wadsworth

If your house is in one of the older parts of town, the garage may have a single door in a narrow opening, or be a detached building with little headroom. Measurements come before any price, so the new door fits the opening you really have. If you're in a newer subdivision, you may have a wide double door, and an insulated steel door makes a real difference in an attached or heated garage.

Wadsworth homeowners can choose from Amarr, Wayne Dalton and Clopay doors, plus insulated models, and from Chamberlain, Genie and LiftMaster openers. Details on new doors and new openers.

A Town That Kept Growing

A post office called Wadsworth has been open since 1823, and the town has grown in almost every census since 1880, when it had 1,219 people. It roughly tripled between 1900 and 1940, from 1,764 to 6,495 residents. It passed 10,000 in 1960 and kept climbing: 18,437 in 2000, 21,567 in 2010 and 24,007 in 2020. The 2020 count found 10,335 housing units.

That steady climb gives Wadsworth a real mix of garages. Some houses date from the early 1900s, and more went up in the decades after the war. A big share are recent. The city added more than 5,500 people between 2000 and 2020, so many garages here are still on their first or second set of springs.

No two Wadsworth calls look the same. An older detached garage might need side springs with safety cables, or a door made to fit a narrow opening. A newer attached garage might need a torsion spring swap, a new opener or a wider insulated door.

Winter Just South of the Divide

Wadsworth is just south of the Saint Lawrence River Divide, and its official elevation is 1,165 feet. It's still Northeast Ohio, though, and winter here is hard on garage doors.

Old springs tend to quit when the thermometer bottoms out, so January brings plenty of broken-spring calls. Salt from I-76 and the state routes rides in on your tires and settles along the bottom of the door, where it rusts the cables and the brackets. A fall tune-up catches most of this before the snow flies.

Wadsworth Roads, Airports and ZIP Codes

I-76 crosses the city, and State Routes 57, 94 and 261 run through it. State Route 261 starts at a traffic signal on State Route 94 in Wadsworth and heads east toward Kent; it was extended west to Wadsworth in 1937. Wadsworth Municipal Airport lies southwest of the city, and Skypark Airport is to the west. Mail uses ZIP codes 44281 and 44282.

Around Wadsworth, we also serve Norton, Doylestown, Rittman, Seville, Sharon Township, Montville Township, Medina and Barberton.

The Grizzlies, the Library and the Blue Tip Festival

Wadsworth High School, whose teams are the Grizzlies, moved into its current building in 2012, right beside Wadsworth Middle School. The Wadsworth City School District is the largest employer in the city. Sacred Heart School teaches kindergarten through 8th grade, and the Wadsworth Public Library serves the whole city.

Every year the Blue Tip Festival brings a parade, rides, food, midway games and contests. It's named for the strike-anywhere blue tip matches that were made in Wadsworth until the 1980s. Tell us you're near the high school or the library and we'll know where to head.

Wadsworth Questions

Often, yes. If the sections are solid, new springs, cables and rollers can add years. If panels are cracked or rusted through, a new door is the smarter buy, and right now it’s $200 off plus free haul-away of the old one.

Yes, 44281 and 44282, plus the towns and townships around the city.

Springs are rated by cycles, meaning trips up and down. Builders usually install the basic grade, and a busy household burns through those cycles surprisingly fast. When we replace them, we can fit longer-life springs so the next set lasts.

From General Elijah Wadsworth, who owned the largest share of the land that became Medina County. The city was named for him when it was founded in 1814.
