Southwest of Bedford, Walton Hills had 2,033 residents when the 2020 census was taken, and it shares ZIP code 44146 with its neighbors. It's an older community: in 2010 the median age was 55.4, and nearly a third of residents (30.8%) were 65 or older.
When heaving a dead door up by hand isn't an option, you shouldn't have to. Call our line 24/7 for broken springs and cables, a door stuck halfway, or an opener that no longer responds, and ask about lighter replacement doors.
A modern insulated steel door from Clopay weighs less than an old wood door, which means less strain on the springs, the opener and you. See door options.
A Genie opener with an outside keypad and a backup battery means no fumbling for a remote on an icy evening. Opener installation.
Walton Hills sits on land that was part of the original Bedford Township, together with Bedford, Bedford Heights, Maple Heights and Oakwood. Much of that township stayed rural for over a century. In 1951 its remaining unincorporated land was split among Bedford Heights, Oakwood and Walton Hills.
The village counted 1,776 residents in 1960 and 2,508 in 1970, and it has stayed close to that size. In 2010 there were 937 households, most of them (63.1%) married couples, averaging 2.27 people, and only 16.3% had children at home.
That makes Walton Hills a place of long-time homeowners, and many garage doors here have run for decades on the same springs and openers. An older opener may no longer reverse the way it should, and springs that have been re-tensioned again and again lose strength. We test both on every call.
Tinker's Creek, named for Captain Joseph Tinker of Moses Cleaveland's survey crew, flows through Walton Hills before it meets the Cuyahoga River in Valley View. Low, wooded ground near the creek holds moisture, and so do the garages built nearby.
Moisture rusts springs, hinges and cable brackets and swells wooden doors. Winter piles on snow, ice and salt. A seasonal service keeps parts lubricated and the door balanced, so it stays easy to lift even in January.
Children from Walton Hills go to Bedford's public schools, the same district that takes in the rest of the old township. The creek links the village to Valley View downstream, and we also cover Oakwood, Maple Heights and Northfield, so a technician is rarely far off. Tell us which road you're on and whether the door is open or closed when you call.
Excellent, quick, and professional service! I highly recommend.

Lay a roll of paper towels flat under the door and close it. If the door doesn’t reverse on touching it, the opener needs adjusting or replacing. We can test it for you.
It’s normal for the door, not for you: springs lose tension over the years. Once they’re replaced or re-set, a properly balanced door should rise with a light pull.
