River heat, humidity and storms around Memphis
Memphis summers are heavy. The heat comes with thick, damp air that settles over the Mid-South, and it hangs on from late spring into early fall. Moisture settles on metal parts and lubricant breaks down sooner, so rollers and hinges start to squeak and stiffen. Rust shows up on springs and fasteners, and steel doors can get spots along the bottom edge. Our guide to garage door care in humid areas covers the signs to watch for.
Winter is short but not always gentle. Ice storms hit the Mid-South every so often, coating trees and power lines and taking out electricity for a while. An iced-over seal can stick the door to the floor, and forcing it with the opener is a good way to strain the motor or bend a section. If the door will not budge on a cold morning, our guide on cold weather garage door problems explains what is usually going on. When the power is out, use the manual release carefully and only with the door fully closed.
Spring brings strong thunderstorms, straight-line wind and tornado warnings across Shelby, Tipton and Fayette counties. Out where the land opens up, around Arlington, Atoka, Munford, Oakland and Somerville, there is little to slow the wind down. A door in good balance with tight hardware handles those gusts better than one that rattles. Springs and cables are under high tension, so do not loosen or adjust them yourself. Leave that work for a service visit.
Much of Memphis was built out in the middle of the last century, and many neighborhoods inside the city have ranch homes with single garages or doors that have been in service for decades. Germantown and Collierville lean toward larger homes on wider lots, while Cordova and Arlington have more recent subdivisions. Every one of those doors loses spring tension over time. The yearly tune-up checks balance, inspects springs, cables, rollers and hinges and tests the opener's safety reverse. Our spring warning signs guide explains what a tired spring looks like.

Questions from homeowners in the Memphis area
Is DoorGuard available in Memphis and the suburbs?
Yes. DoorGuard serves 95 ZIP codes in Shelby, Tipton and Fayette counties, including Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Cordova, Arlington, Millington, Covington and Oakland. Coverage is set by ZIP code, so enter yours in the checker on this page to see if your street is included.
Does Memphis humidity cause garage door problems?
Over time it does. Damp air speeds up rust on springs, cables, hinges and fasteners and wears out lubricant faster, so the door gets noisy and stiff. The yearly tune-up includes lubrication of every moving part and a full look at that hardware, which keeps small rust spots from turning into bigger trouble.
How does scheduling work for members?
You request a visit through the site or by calling (877) 257-6027. Members get priority scheduling on repairs, and the higher plans get higher priority. Exact timing depends on availability in your part of the metro. Your yearly tune-up is booked the same way.
Can the membership include my front door locks too?
Yes, on the Premier plan. Premier is $79 a month and covers every garage door on the home plus entry-door locks, with unlimited priority service, an annual opener and lock health check and the highest member savings on repair labor. Essential and Complete are for garage doors only.
