How Utah's Seasonal Weather Affects Your Garage Door

Utah experiences a wide range of weather conditions, from heavy snowfall to dry heat. These extremes can take a toll on your garage door's components and operation.

In winter, cold temperatures cause metal parts to contract, which may lead to stiff rollers and sluggish openers. Ice buildup can also block sensors and tracks. Regularly clearing snow and applying lubricant helps maintain smooth operation.

Spring and fall bring rain that can rust steel hardware or cause wood doors to swell. Keep your door sealed and apply protective coatings when necessary.

The intense summer sun can fade finishes and dry out weatherstripping, allowing hot air into your garage. Inspect seals and consider UV-resistant paint or finishes to preserve your door's appearance.

By adapting your maintenance routine to Utah's seasons, you can extend the life of your garage door and prevent unexpected failures. For professional assistance, call 877-320-4994.
