What garage doors go through in Loveland
Loveland sits just east of where the Big Thompson Canyon opens out of the mountains, and the wind that comes down out of the foothills can be strong, especially in winter. A garage door that faces west takes it head on. Over a season that wind shakes hinges loose and wears rollers, and a door that once ran smoothly starts to jerk on the way up. The guide to a garage door that shakes or jerks explains the usual reasons.
Northern Colorado winters move back and forth between deep cold and warm, sunny days. Snow melts in the afternoon, runs under the door and freezes overnight. That can glue the bottom seal to the slab, and if the opener keeps pulling, something gives, usually the seal or the opener. Give a frozen door time to free up rather than forcing it. Springs and cables feel the cold as well, and they hold too much tension for anyone to adjust on their own.
Loveland has a real mix of housing. Close to downtown there are older homes, some with single car or detached garages and doors that have seen many winters. Farther east, toward Centerra and the interstate, many homes are newer, with wide steel doors and modern openers. Older doors often need closer attention to springs and cables. Newer ones mostly need lubrication, balance testing and the opener safety test to stay in good working order.
Summers here are sunny and dry, with storms that can bring hail in the afternoon. Sun fades paint and hardens weatherstripping, and hail can dent or crease steel panels. Where the paint chips, bare metal can start to rust at the edges. Our page on rust on a garage door covers what to look for, and the yearly tune-up is a good time to catch it early.

Questions from homeowners in Loveland
Is DoorGuard available in Loveland?
It is. DoorGuard covers 2 ZIP codes in Loveland, in Larimer County just south of Fort Collins. Coverage is by ZIP code, not by city name, so check your ZIP in the checker on this page. If you are covered, you can join at guardyourdoor.com and choose a plan.
Do the foothill winds in Loveland wear on a garage door?
They can, especially on doors that face west. Steady gusts loosen hinges and wear rollers, and a door pushed around in its tracks can drift out of balance. The yearly tune-up inspects rollers, hinges, springs and cables, lubricates all moving parts and tests the balance, so wind wear gets caught early.
We plan to sell our Loveland home. Can a tune-up help?
A garage door that opens smoothly and quietly is one less thing for a buyer's inspection to note. A tune-up before you list gives you a full safety inspection, lubrication, a balance test and an opener safety test. If something needs repair, you see the price before any work begins, with member savings on labor.
Our door has gotten loud. Is that a problem?
Noise usually means something is wearing, drying out or working loose, such as rollers, hinges or a door that has fallen out of balance. It is worth having it looked at. The yearly tune-up lubricates every moving part and inspects the hardware. Never try to adjust springs or cables to quiet a door, because they hold high tension.
