Northfield Township is the stretch of Washtenaw County where US-23 runs north out of Ann Arbor toward Brighton, and most of its people live around Whitmore Lake.

Garage Door Service in Northfield Township
Broken springs, stuck doors, worn openers and new doors for homes on both sides of US-23.
Emergency Repair
A spring that snaps on a winter morning can trap the car before the drive down US-23. We handle broken springs, snapped cables, doors off their tracks and openers that quit anywhere in the township.
New Door Installation
We measure the opening and install insulated steel, carriage-house and other styles, with the full job written on the estimate before any work starts.
Opener Service
We repair and replace chain, belt and screw-drive openers, set up Wi-Fi control and battery backup units, and program remotes and keypads.
Spring and Cable Repair
Torsion and extension springs are matched to the weight of your door, and we check the cables, drums and rollers on the same visit.
About Northfield Township
Northfield Township was established in 1832 and counted 8,514 residents at the 2020 census across 36.37 square miles. US-23 runs north and south through its western part, which ties the township to Ann Arbor at one end and Brighton at the other. The Whitmore Lake community sits in the township and extends north into Green Oak Township in Livingston County.
History is close at hand. St. Patrick's Parish, at Northfield Church and Whitmore Lake roads, began as St. Brigid and is described as the oldest English-speaking Catholic parish in Michigan; its church was completed in 1878. The rail-era community of Emery was renamed Leland in 1884, when the Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan Railroad built a station there.

Northfield Township Garage Door Questions
Is Whitmore Lake part of Northfield Township?
Mostly. The Whitmore Lake community sits in Northfield Township and extends north into Green Oak Township, so some lake homes are in Washtenaw County and some in Livingston County. We serve both sides, and Whitmore Lake has its own page on this site.
How does Empire reach Northfield Township?
Our base at 3152 Sandpoint Drive in Brighton is a straight run south on US-23 to the township, which sits between Brighton and Ann Arbor in the middle of the area we serve.
My garage door opens a few inches and then stops. What causes that?
Often the opener senses too much resistance, which points to a broken spring, a binding roller or a door that is out of balance. Some openers also stop when the travel limits need resetting. Leave it closed and call (248) 667-2325 so we can find the cause.
