📚 Garage Door History Friday

🚪 Garage Door History Friday!

Before automatic openers, homeowners had to get out of their vehicles every time they wanted to open or close their garage door.

In 1926, inventor C.G. Johnson introduced the first electric garage door opener, forever changing the way Americans used their garages. What was once a manual chore became the convenience we enjoy today with the push of a button.

Over the decades, garage doors have evolved from simple wooden carriage-house doors to insulated steel systems equipped with smart technology, Wi-Fi connectivity, battery backups, and advanced safety features.

💡 Fun Fact:
Many homeowners use their garage door as their primary entrance, opening and closing it more than 1,500 times per year.

At Lonecrest Garage Doors, we’re proud to keep that century-old innovation running safely and reliably for families across Texas.

📞 Whether it’s a tune-up, repair, or replacement, we’re here to help.

☀️ Garage Door Summer Tip

Beat the Texas Heat: Your Garage Door Feels It Too!

🌡️ Summer temperatures in East Texas can push garage doors and openers to their limits. As metal expands in the heat, garage door springs, tracks, rollers, and opener settings can all be affected.

Did you know?
🚪 A garage door is often the largest moving object in your home.
☀️ Direct sunlight can cause panels to heat up significantly throughout the day.
🔧 Increased heat can expose worn-out parts that may have worked fine during cooler months.

Signs your garage door may need attention this summer:
✔️ Squeaking or grinding noises
✔️ Slow or jerky movement
✔️ Door not closing evenly
✔️ Increased strain on the opener
✔️ Worn weather seal letting hot air and pests into your garage

A simple tune-up can help your door run smoother, quieter, and more efficiently during the hottest months of the year.

At Lonecrest Garage Doors, we’re helping East Texas homeowners keep their garage doors in top shape all summer long.

📞 Call today to schedule your garage door tune-up before the heat takes its toll!

📚 Garage Door History Friday

🚪 Garage Door History Friday!

Did you know the modern overhead garage door was invented in 1921 by inventor C.G. Johnson? Before that, most garages had heavy carriage-style doors that swung outward, making them difficult to open—especially in snow, ice, or tight driveways. Johnson’s upward-acting door revolutionized the industry and laid the foundation for the garage doors we use today. Just five years later, he introduced the first electric garage door opener, changing convenience forever.

Over 100 years later, garage doors remain one of the hardest-working and most important parts of a home’s curb appeal, security, and daily convenience.

At Lonecrest Garage Doors, we’re proud to continue the tradition of keeping garage doors operating safely and reliably for homeowners across East Texas.

We are heartbroken over the tragic events that took place in Shreveport. Our hearts grieve alongside the families and loved ones who are facing an unimaginable loss.

In times like these, we lean on our faith and the promise that God is close to the brokenhearted and present in our pain. We may not understand why these tragedies happen, but we trust that the Lord brings comfort, peace, and strength to those who need it most.

We ask our community to join us in lifting up everyone affected in prayer—for healing, for peace, and for protection over our families and neighborhoods. May God’s presence bring light in this dark time and remind us all to love one another a little deeper and hold our loved ones a little closer.

From all of us at Lonecrest, we are praying for Shreveport.
