Preserving the Charm
of Bixby Knolls
Specialists in repairing historic carriage house doors and installing silent openers for established neighborhoods.
Bixby Knolls (90807) is defined by its Custom Wood Architecture. Standard repair companies often replace high-quality wood parts with cheap stamped steel, ruining the home's aesthetic. We specialize in "Sympathetic Restoration": realigning heavy carriage house doors, custom-balancing torsion springs for wood weight, and retrofitting Silent Belt Drive motors that respect the peace and quiet of your neighborhood.
Restoring, Not Just "Fixing"
Your garage door is likely 30% of your home's curb appeal. In Bixby Knolls, a standard white steel door devalues your property. We focus on keeping your original door running like new.
The Preservation Protocol
- Custom Spring Calibration: We weigh your wood door to calculate the exact torque needed, preventing opener burnout.
- Silent Roller Retrofit: Replacing noisy steel wheels with medical-grade nylon for silent operation.
- Hardware Matching: Sourcing hinges and handles that match Spanish Colonial and Mid-Century styles.
- Carriage House Alignment: Fixing sagging wood panels without replacing the whole door.
The "Patch Job" vs. Restoration
Most companies want to sell you a new door. We want to save your beautiful one.

Saving History, One Door at a Time.
The Preservation Protocol
We don't rush. We restore. Here is how we treat your historic home.
The "Restoration First" Audit
We arrive with one goal: Save the Door. We inspect the wood condition, structural integrity, and hardware era. We never push for a replacement unless it is structurally unsafe.
Precision Weight Calibration
Historic redwood and cedar doors get heavier over time. We physically weigh your door to calculate the exact torsion spring torque needed to lift it gently, protecting your opener gears.
Sympathetic Repair
We install modern strength with a vintage look. We use hidden steel struts to fix sagging panels and source period-correct hardware so the repair blends seamlessly with your home's facade.
The "Whisper" Test
Bixby Knolls is quiet. Your door should be too. We finish every job by replacing steel rollers with nylon and fine-tuning the motor until it passes our "Whisper Test" for silent operation.
Why "Preservation Spec" Matters in 90807
*In Bixby Knolls, your garage door is often 30% of your home's historic value. We use specialized parts designed to preserve, not replace.
