Middle Tennessee weather and your garage door

Middle Tennessee has grown fast, and much of that growth is new subdivisions. Drive through Franklin, Murfreesboro, Mount Juliet, La Vergne or the edges of Lebanon and you see street after street of homes with two and three car garages facing the road. Those doors open and close many times a day. Builder-grade openers and springs do the job, but they wear on a steady schedule, and nobody tends to think about them until the door stalls. If you just moved into one of these homes, the new homeowner garage door checklist is a good place to start.

Spring storms are a fact of life here. Severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings come through most years, often with strong wind and heavy rain. A garage door that is balanced, with tight track brackets and sound rollers, stands up to gusts better than one that rattles in its frame. When storms knock out power, you may need to open the door by hand using the release. Never try to adjust springs or cables. They carry a lot of tension, and that work belongs at a service visit.

Summers run hot and humid, and winter can swing from mild afternoons to freezing rain. That mix is tough on seals and lubricant. Heat dries out the grease on rollers and hinges, and an ice storm can glue the bottom seal to the slab overnight. Hilly lots in Brentwood, Franklin and parts of west Nashville can also send runoff toward the garage. If water or light gets in along the floor, read about the garage door bottom seal.

Closer in, the older neighborhoods have their own story. In East Nashville, Sylvan Park, Inglewood and Madison, many homes date back well before the boom, and some have small detached garages or doors reached from an alley. Those doors may be wood, may have been repainted many times and may run on an opener that was added later. Older parts drift out of balance slowly. The yearly member tune-up tests balance, checks springs and cables and runs the opener's safety test, so problems turn up early.

Coverage is by ZIP code, so check yours in the ZIP checker on this page.

Do Tennessee storms and ice affect a garage door?

They can. Strong wind puts stress on track brackets and hardware, and freezing rain can stick the bottom seal to the floor so the opener strains to lift it. The yearly tune-up checks the springs, cables, rollers and hinges, tests the door's balance and lubricates every moving part, so the door is in good shape before rough weather comes.

We just bought a house in Williamson County. Should we join?

A house that is new to you often comes with a door nobody has looked at in years. Joining gets you a yearly tune-up and full safety inspection, priority scheduling on repairs and savings on repair labor. You learn how the door is doing before you rely on it every day, and you can cancel anytime.

Which plan fits a home with more than two garage doors?

Essential covers one door and Complete covers up to two. For more than that, Premier covers every garage door on the home plus entry-door locks, with unlimited priority service and an annual opener and lock health check. Premier is $79 a month, billed monthly with no contract.
