The Winter Challenge

Cold temperatures affect your garage door in several ways: - Metal components contract, Lubricants thicken, Weather seals become brittle, Springs lose tension

Pre-Winter Checklist

1. Inspect Weather Stripping

The rubber seal at the bottom of your door keeps out cold air, snow, and pests. Check for: - Cracks or gaps, Brittle sections, Missing pieces

Replace damaged weather stripping before temperatures drop.

2. Lubricate Moving Parts

Winter-grade lubricant won't thicken in cold weather. Apply to: - Hinges, Rollers, Springs, Chain or belt

3. Test the Balance

A properly balanced door: 1. Disconnect the opener by pulling the emergency release 2. Lift the door halfway 3. It should stay in place without support

If it falls or rises, the springs need adjustment.

4. Check the Opener's Force Settings

Cold weather may require adjusting your opener's force settings. The door should close completely without excessive force.

5. Inspect Springs

Cold weather stresses springs. Look for: - Visible rust, Gaps in the coils, Signs of stretching

Warning: Never attempt to adjust or replace springs yourself.they're under extreme tension. Contact our spring replacement experts for safe service.
