Lakewood Garage Door
Lakewood Garage Door is a garage door company based on Nelson Street in Lakewood, Colorado, where the owners say they both live and office. Stuart started the business in 1991 with his wife Vonda after installing a door in a friend's barn, and the pair renamed the company Lakewood Garage Door in 2005. The team repairs garage doors and openers, replaces torsion and extension springs, repairs damaged door sections, and installs DoorLink garage doors and LiftMaster openers. A basic service call covers balancing, tuning, and lubricating the door and opener along with a safety inspection, and work starts only after the customer approves it. Installs and repairs are handled by personally trained employees rather than subcontractors, and the trucks are stocked with springs, rollers, cables, hinges, tracks, sheave wheels, drums, gears, sensors, remotes, and limit switches so most jobs can be finished on the first visit. Service labor and parts carry a 90-day warranty, and manufacturer warranties from LiftMaster and DoorLink are passed through to the customer. The Lakewood office also houses a showroom displaying current DoorLink and LiftMaster products plus parts and accessories, and the company asks that you call before dropping by.

FAQs
How long has Lakewood Garage Door been in business?
Stuart started the business in 1991 after helping a friend install a garage door in a barn, and he was soon joined by his wife Vonda. The two worked on doors and openers throughout the Denver metro area, and in 2005 the company was renamed Lakewood Garage Door.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. The company states that its own personally trained employees install and repair garage doors and openers. That means the people who arrive at your home work for Lakewood Garage Door directly.
What is included in a basic service call?
A basic service call covers balancing, tuning, and lubricating the garage door and the opener. The technician also runs a safety inspection and reports anything found, and any repair work starts only after you approve it.
What warranty comes with the work?
Lakewood Garage Door warrants all parts and labor used on a garage door service call for 90 days, including balancing, tuning, lubricating, and any replaced parts. Replacement opener service calls carry the same 90-day coverage on electronic boards, sensors, bearings, and gears. Work on previously damaged doors or openers, such as a door hit by a vehicle, is not warranted. Manufacturer warranties from LiftMaster and DoorLink are passed on to you.
My garage door will not open. What is likely wrong?
A door that will not open usually has a broken spring, because the springs lift the weight of the door rather than the motor. Heavy doors weighing up to 400 pounds typically use two springs. Lakewood Garage Door uses torsion springs with a 30,000 or higher cycle rating and recommends replacing all springs when one breaks, since they are the same age.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
The company advises against it. The energy stored in a garage door spring is enough to break bones, cut off fingers, and launch winding bars, so homeowners who are not experienced with torsion spring replacement are urged to call a professional instead.
What brands of doors and openers do you install?
Lakewood Garage Door installs DoorLink residential garage doors, which are available in raised panel, flush panel, recessed panel, carriage house, and Plank Ozark styles, and LiftMaster garage door openers. New door installations include hauling away the old door, new tracks, springs, and interior hardware, a trim package to seal out leaves, snow, and dust, and a tune up of the existing opener with a safety check before it is connected to the new door.
Can I see the doors before I buy?
Yes. The Nelson Street office in Lakewood has a showroom displaying current DoorLink and LiftMaster products, and parts and accessories are sold there as well. Call ahead at the listed number to let the team know when you would like to stop by, since showroom hours vary.
