Does Cold Weather Cause Garage Door Problems

Feb 18, 2022 | Garage Door Maintenance

There is nothing mild about the winters in Minnesota. It is brutally cold for extended periods of time and there is also plenty of winter precipitation to go along with the cold air. Rise & Shine Garage Doors works all year round, including the winter months, because cold weather can cause issues with a garage door system.

Low temperatures in the winter months can cause metal to contract. When the metal in your garage door contracts it tightens and becomes more difficult to open and close reliably. This can also cause problems with your garage door springs and your tracks. Your springs can become brittle in the cold months and are more likely to break

Signs That Your Garage Door Spring Needs To Be Repaired

Feb 3, 2022 | Broken Garage Door Spring Twin City

One of the most common problems with a garage door not opening correctly has to do with the spring. Your garage door spring, when working correctly, twists to counterbalance the force that is needed to open your garage door safely and easily. If your garage door spring is broken, it will be unable to tighten up on the way down, causing the door not to be able to lift up. What does this mean for you? You may assume that your entire garage door or operating system is broken, but it may be much simpler–a broken spring. Rise & Shine Garage Doors can determine whether the problem you are having is related to an issue with the spring, or other part of the door, and make the necessary repairs quickly, so that you can move on with your day!
