What garage doors go through in Merced
Summer in Merced is long, dry and very hot. A south or west facing door soaks up that heat all afternoon, and a steel door can get too hot to touch. Grease thins and dries out, and the opener strains more on a long, hot afternoon. Our guide to garage door care in hot climates walks through what the heat does to springs, seals and the opener.
Close to downtown and along the streets near Bear Creek, many houses are older, with single doors, smaller garages and sometimes a detached garage out back. Those doors may be heavy wood or early steel, and their springs may have been replaced more than once, or never. As an older door slowly loses balance, the opener ends up carrying weight the springs should hold. The guide to an out of balance door explains why that wears an opener out.
North Merced filled in with subdivisions in the 2000s, and more homes have gone up since the university opened. Those houses usually have lighter steel two-car doors, and many of their openers are now old enough to need attention. Thin panels can flex and crease when the door is out of balance or when someone pushes it by hand at the wrong spot. A quick look each season helps.
Winter goes the other way. Thick tule fog often hangs over the valley floor for days, and cold, damp air settles on springs, cables and hinges. Add the dust that blows in from orchards and fields in the dry months, and rollers collect grit. Keep your hands off springs and cables, which are wound under high tension. The yearly tune-up lubricates and inspects every moving part, so wear is found before a part fails.

How does Merced's heat and winter fog affect a garage door?
Summer heat dries out lubricant and hardens rubber seals, and winter fog keeps metal parts damp, which encourages rust. Dust from the fields adds grit to rollers and hinges. The yearly tune-up lubricates all moving parts and inspects springs, cables, rollers and hinges, so wear from both seasons gets caught early.
I am planning to sell my house. Should I get the garage door checked first?
It is a good idea. Buyers and inspectors notice a door that is noisy, slow or does not reverse when it should. A tune-up lubricates the moving parts, tests balance and the opener safety reverse, and inspects the springs and cables. Our guide to getting a garage door ready before selling covers what else to look at.
