The Lakewood Garage Story

IMG_3303.jpg

Sometimes a business starts by happenstance. Stuart was working in the restaurant industry and decided to look for a career change. A buddy at Red Lobster asked Stuart to install a garage door in a barn near Denver. They cut an entry into the barn side, framed it, and put in a garage door. Stuart found his passion, and he knew this is what he wanted to do as a vocation - install and repair garage doors.

Lakewood Garage Door, formally known as Precision Garage Door, was started in 1990. Stuart and Vonda became known as the husband and wife garage door team. They travel together, installing and repairing garage doors. Once the kids came, Vonda became the office manager. Vonda’s previous field experience gives her great insights when providing customer service. They have been profitable ever since. 

No Gimmicks Garage Door Service

The average American garage door opens and closes about 2500 times a year. Stock torsion springs are rated about 10,000 cycles, with a cycle being an open and a close. Usually stock springs lasts about 4-7 years depending on how much you use them. These remarkable mechanisms open and shut every day, and it is natural to take them for granted until they break. If your garage door is not working correctly, please give Lakewood Garage Door a call.

Garage Door Math

Most people think the garage door opener or motor opens and closes a door. It is the torsion spring that does the heavy lifting. Stuart uses a mathematical formula to decide spring size and how many turns are required to lift a 200 to 500-pound door. Twisting creates mechanical energy in the spring so that when it is connected to the door, a person can lift it without much effort. Lakewood Garage Door installs higher life cycle springs, 25,000 to 30,000. Please remember that these springs that can lift hundreds of pounds can cause significant injury or even death to the unacquainted Do-It-Your-Selfer.
