About Spring & Cable Repair in Old Towne Orange
Old Towne Orange is the largest National Register historic district in California, listed in 1997, around Plaza Park. The city treats historic garages as resources in their own right, so repair and faithful restoration come first and door changes go through design review.
The Old Towne, Orange Historic District was listed on the National Register on 11 July 1997 and is the largest National Register district in California, about one square mile around Plaza Park, known locally as The Circle, crossed by Chapman Avenue and Glassell Street.

What Customers Say About Our Spring & Cable Repair in Old Towne Orange
Real reviews from Old Towne Orange and nearby Orange neighborhoods.
“Our Orange Park Acres door at 19:58: the left cable birdcaged on the drum, so the door hung like a shrug. Orange Park Acres horse properties and their wide custom doors. They reeved a new left cable, seated the drum, and leveled the shrug out of the door for this Orange Park Acres door. Hardware stays clean.”
“In Santiago Hills at 5:20, extension springs were the original 1979 pair and the door felt like it weighed a ton. Santiago Hills slopes above Chapman with settling tracks. They converted the 1979 extension pair to torsion and added safety cables at 5:20 in Santiago Hills. Backup proved out.”
“One of the best service companies Ive come across. They answered the phone on the first call, provided a two hour window and followed back up directly with me once they were 30 minutes out. Mike, the technician who serviced my repair was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in his craft. He not only took the time to do a great job in repairing, but also fine tuned everything to create less stress on the opener overall. He also went above and beyond in explaining to me how I can keep maintenance up by applying grease on the springs in hinges routinely. Mike was very personable and polite in addition to being an absolute professional!”
