❄️ Cold Weather & Your Garage Door: What Can Happen? ❄️
Winter can be tough on your garage door. Here are some common cold-weather scenarios homeowners experience:
🔹 Broken Springs – Cold temperatures make metal brittle, increasing the chance of spring failure.
🔹 Snapped or Frayed Cables – Frozen moisture and added strain can cause cables to wear or break.
🔹 Door Won’t Open or Close – Rollers and tracks can freeze, or thickened grease can slow movement.
🔹 Opener Struggles or Fails – Cold batteries and stiff components can stop your opener from working properly.
🔹 Weather Seal Damage – Rubber seals can crack or freeze to the ground, preventing smooth operation.
🔹 Loud Noises – Contracting metal may cause popping, grinding, or squeaking sounds.
🚪 Tip: Regular maintenance before and during winter can prevent costly repairs and keep your door operating safely.
