What garage doors go through in the Denver area

Denver weather can swing from shirtsleeves to snow in a day, and a garage door feels every one of those turns. Snowmelt seeps under the bottom seal in the afternoon and freezes there overnight. That pattern repeats through the winter and well into spring, wearing out seals and sometimes gluing the door to the slab. Running the opener against a frozen door strains the motor and can bend the bottom section. Our guide to a door that won't open in cold weather explains what to do instead.

The Front Range is well known for hail. Storms can build over the foothills on a summer afternoon and pound the metro with little notice, and a steel door with thin panels can come away dented. Between storms, the sun at this altitude is intense, so paint fades, wood doors dry and check, and vinyl seals get brittle. Heavy, wet spring snow piles against the door, and chinook winds rush down the slopes in winter. A yearly look at the panels, seals and hardware catches damage before it spreads. See steel garage door care for more.

Housing across the metro tells its own story. Older Denver neighborhoods are full of bungalows and brick Denver Squares, many with a detached garage off the alley and a door that has outlasted a few owners. Postwar ranch homes cover big parts of Aurora, Arvada, Englewood, Wheat Ridge and Littleton. Newer master-planned neighborhoods stretch out around Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree and Brighton, where three-car garages are common and every opener on the street went in about the same year. Each kind of house wears a door differently, but all of them depend on balanced springs and a working safety reversal.

West of town, Golden, Evergreen and the foothill communities in Clear Creek, Gilpin and Park counties get deeper snow, colder nights and steep driveways, so a door that sticks in January is more than a nuisance. East on the plains, Bennett, Byers, Deer Trail, Kiowa and Elizabeth see open wind and blowing dust, and homes on acreage often have detached shops with oversized doors. Mountain cabin or prairie shop, the rule is the same: nobody but a trained pro should touch a garage door spring or cable, because both are loaded with force.

Is DoorGuard available in Denver and the suburbs?

DoorGuard serves 180 ZIP codes across Denver, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Adams, Douglas and Broomfield counties and nearby areas, including Denver, Aurora, Arvada, Westminster, Littleton, Englewood, Golden, Castle Rock and Parker. Coverage is by ZIP code, so check yours in the checker on this page before you join.

Is Denver's hail and freeze-thaw a good reason for a yearly tune-up?

It is a strong one. Hail can dent panels so a section rubs in the track, and freeze-thaw cycles wear out seals and stress the springs. The yearly tune-up inspects springs, cables, rollers and hinges, lubricates every moving part, tests the balance and checks that the opener reverses, so problems from a rough season show up early.

We have two garage doors and want our front door locks looked at too. Which plan fits?

Complete covers up to two garage doors with two tune-ups a year, the service-call fee waived on member visits and higher-priority scheduling. If you also want entry-door locks included, Premier covers every garage door plus your entry-door locks, with an annual opener and lock health check and top-priority scheduling.

How does scheduling work when a big storm hits?

Members request a visit through guardyourdoor.com or by calling (877) 257-6027, and get priority scheduling on repairs. Exact timing depends on availability in your area, which can be tighter right after a major snow or hail storm. Before any repair work begins, you see the price, with member savings on labor.
