What causes stuck doors in garage doors?

Stuck garage doors can be caused by several factors: broken springs are the most common culprit, as they bear the door's weight. Track misalignment can prevent smooth movement, while cable issues can cause the door to hang unevenly. Opener malfunctions, worn rollers, or debris in the tracks are also frequent causes. Weather-related issues like frozen seals in winter or humidity-warped panels in summer can contribute. During our service call, we'll diagnose the exact cause and explain your repair options.

Preparing Your Garage Door for Summer: Essential Tips

2024-01-10 6 min read

Summer in Massachusetts brings heat, humidity, and increased garage door usage. Proper preparation ensures your door operates smoothly all season while keeping your garage comfortable. Here's your complete summer prep guide from the experts at ${siteConfig.name}.

Check Weatherstripping and Seals

Summer storms can drive rain into poorly sealed garages. Inspect the bottom seal (astragal) for cracks, gaps, or deterioration. Side and top weatherstripping should create a complete barrier. Replace any damaged seals before the season's first storm.

Quality weatherstripping also improves energy efficiency. If your garage is attached to your home, a good seal prevents hot air from infiltrating your living space, reducing cooling costs.

Lubricate Moving Parts

Heat affects lubrication. Summer is the perfect time to apply fresh lubricant to: - Rollers and hinges, Spring system, Track surfaces, Lock mechanisms, Opener chain or screw drive

Use a silicone-based lubricant designed for garage doors. Avoid WD-40 for long-term lubrication.it's a solvent that can actually attract dust and debris.

Inspect and Clean Tracks

Dust, pollen, and debris accumulate in tracks during spring. Clean tracks with a damp cloth, removing any buildup that could impede smooth operation. Check for rust, particularly if you're near the coast or in areas with high humidity.

Test Safety Features

Summer means kids are home from school and spending more time around the garage. Test your door's safety features: - Place a 2x4 under the door and close it.it should reverse upon contact, Wave an object through the photo-eye sensors to confirm they stop the door, Test the emergency release and manual operation

Consider Ventilation

If you use your garage as a workshop, consider adding ventilation. A hot garage stresses your opener motor and can affect stored items. Simple solutions include exhaust fans or screen doors for natural airflow.
