Craftsman garages, foothill wind and valley heat
Pasadena is known for its early 1900s houses, and Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights and the streets near the Arroyo Seco are full of them. Many have a long driveway leading to a detached garage at the back of the lot, sometimes with carriage-style wood doors that swing or slide, sometimes with a newer sectional door fitted into an old opening. These garages often get less care than the house in front. Wood doors in particular need attention, and our wood garage door care guide covers the basics.
Being at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains shapes the weather. Summers are hotter here than closer to the coast, and doors that face the afternoon sun lose lubricant and seal flexibility faster. In fall and winter, Santa Ana winds can come down off the mountains hard, and gusts push on large doors and rattle loose hardware.
Those same dry winds raise wildfire risk along the foothills, and smoke and ash can drift across the whole San Gabriel Valley. Fine ash settles into tracks and on rollers, and a door that grinds after a smoky week usually needs a good cleaning and fresh lubrication. When the power goes out during a wind event, you may also need to know how to open the door by hand.
Winter rain is light most years, but when a big storm comes through, water can run down sloped driveways and collect at the bottom of the door. A worn seal lets it in. One more thing about springs and cables: they carry heavy tension on every door, old or new, so a gap or a fray is something to report, not something to fix yourself.

Questions from homeowners in Pasadena, California
Is DoorGuard available in Pasadena?
Yes. DoorGuard serves 25 ZIP codes in and around Pasadena, in Los Angeles County, with pages for nearby Glendale, Alhambra and Burbank. Coverage is checked by ZIP code, so enter yours in the checker on this page. If it is covered, you can join at guardyourdoor.com in a few minutes.
Do the Santa Ana winds put extra strain on a garage door?
They can. Strong gusts push against the door and shake hardware that is already loose, and the dry air and dust that come with them wear on rollers and tracks. The yearly tune-up checks the springs, cables, rollers and hinges, tests the door balance and lubricates all moving parts, so wind wear is caught before it turns into a problem.
We are getting our Pasadena home ready to sell. Should we have the garage door looked at?
It is a good idea. Buyers and inspectors often test the garage door, and a door that is noisy, heavy or slow to reverse can end up on a repair list. A tune-up and safety inspection before listing shows you where things stand. Our guide to the garage door before selling has more tips.
Can DoorGuard look after the locks on our entry doors as well?
Yes, with Premier. At $79 a month it covers every garage door on the property plus your entry-door locks, with an annual opener and lock health check, unlimited priority service, top-priority scheduling and the highest member savings. The Essential and Complete plans are for garage doors only.
