The City of Lake Forest
The history buffs at Entry Systems know Lake Forest was once known as “El Toro” but fun facts: this area was once a stagecoach stop between San Diego and Los Angeles in the 1800s. After World War II it was the location of a Marine Base!
Lake Forest has two man-made lakes from which the city gets its name. The “forest” for which the city is also named comes from the Eucalyptus plantation which grew in the early 1900s when a ‘rumor’ that the United States was experiencing a hardwood famine started a planting craze. The Eucalyptus rush ended in 1913 when Eucalyptus wood was deemed virtually useless for lumber, but some of these gorgeous and fragrant trees can be seen in Serrano Creek Community Park, one of 30 public parks in Lake Forest including the Whiting Ranch Regional Wilderness Park.
There are dozens of places to hike and bike, or if you prefer boating and swimming, you can plan an afternoon by the lake with the family. Heritage Hill Historical Park offers free outdoor summer concerts, community playhouse productions, and tours of the restored historic buildings. One Entry Systems Garage Doors and Gates family member visited the old one-room schoolhouse on a field trip and remembered trying on the old-fashioned clothing, sitting at the desks, and learning from the readers.

During installation, a molding on the outdoor frame fell off. He offered to re-install it and hammered the molding back in place; saving me a visit from the HOA. I am grateful. 2) When my garage door would not close, I called and was told the scheduling would involve a 3 hour wait, which gave me anxiety as the garage would be wide open. Eileen was kind to re-arrange the schedule and Jacob came over in an hour! Thank you for our friendly chat, and the earlier appointment.

Jeffrey Feiner2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Even though I've been using Entry systems for years now, it's not like I need them except every so often. Abraham, typical of their technicians, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and informative. He did a great job, was right on time (even a few minutes early), and explained everything to me. I would recommend his service to anyone. Most recently I had two other techs and this year Brandon, and they were equally as friendly helpful and punctual. They were good communicators. That's why I keep using them. David Haze2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the beginning of the interaction through the completion of the call, entry systems went above and beyond my expectations. They also offered me upgrade options with no pressure, which I chose to pursue to improve the quality of my doors. I would recommend their services! 🤠
