Winter is around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to ensure your garage doors are prepared to handle the season’s challenges. Cold temperatures, snow, and ice can take a toll on your garage doors, leading to costly repairs or operational issues. At Nova Garage Doors, we’re here to help you winterize your garage doors, so you can avoid unnecessary headaches and keep your home or business running smoothly.
Why Winter Prep Matters
Garage doors are exposed to harsh weather conditions during winter, which can cause mechanical failures, poor insulation, and even damage to the door itself. Preparing your garage doors now ensures they function efficiently, maintain energy efficiency, and provide the security you need during the colder months.
Winter Garage Door Maintenance Checklist
Here’s how to make sure your garage doors are ready for winter:
-
Inspect Weather Stripping
Check the weather stripping at the bottom of your garage door for cracks or wear. Damaged weather stripping can let in cold air and moisture, increasing your heating costs and risking damage to items stored in your garage. Learn more about weatherproofing your garage doors. -
Lubricate Moving Parts
Cold weather can cause metal components to contract, leading to squeaky or stuck garage door mechanisms. Apply a high-quality lubricant to rollers, hinges, and tracks to keep them moving smoothly. Read about maintaining your garage door hardware. -
Check Door Balance
A poorly balanced garage door puts extra strain on the opener and can lead to expensive repairs. Test the balance by disconnecting the opener and manually lifting the door halfway. If it doesn’t stay in place, it’s time to call a professional. Schedule a garage door tune-up. -
Test Your Garage Door Opener
Ensure your garage door opener is functioning correctly. Cold weather can affect older openers, so it may be time to upgrade to a more reliable model. Explore our selection of garage door openers. -
Inspect Insulation
Proper insulation keeps your garage warmer and prevents energy loss. Check for gaps or damage in your garage door’s insulation and consider upgrading to an insulated door for better efficiency. Discover insulated garage door options.
