Fog, hills and sidewalk garages in San Francisco
In much of San Francisco the garage door opens straight onto the sidewalk, set into the front of the house under the living floors. Row after row of homes in the Sunset and the Richmond were built that way, and the door is often the most used entry to the house. A door that cycles several times a day, every day, wears its rollers, hinges and opener faster than one used only to park a car.
The fog is the other constant. On the west side of the city, close to Ocean Beach, damp air and salt blow in most of the year, and steel parts rust sooner than they would inland. Springs, track fasteners and the bottom fixture of the door take the worst of it. Our guide to rust on a garage door shows the early signs, and the humid, coastal care guide explains why the wear speeds up near the water.
Then come the hills. In Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill and around Twin Peaks, the street, the sidewalk and the garage floor rarely sit level with each other. When the slab slopes, the door meets it at an angle and one corner closes before the other, leaving a gap that lets in wind, water and grit. That uneven contact also puts stress on the bottom seal and the hardware on one side.
Many Victorian and Edwardian buildings had their garages cut in long after they were built, and a lot of those openings still hold wood doors. Damp, cool air can swell wood and loosen joints. On any of these doors, a gapped spring or a loose cable is a reason to request a visit, not to grab a wrench, because both carry heavy tension.

Our garage door faces the ocean fog every day. What does the tune-up do about that?
Fog and salt speed up rust on springs, cables, hinges and fasteners. The yearly tune-up inspects all of those parts, lubricates every moving part to slow down corrosion and tests the door balance. Wear that would go unnoticed in a dim garage gets found early, while it is still a small fix.
Can the membership include the locks on my front door too?
Yes, on the Premier plan. Premier is $79 a month and covers every garage door plus your entry-door locks, with an annual opener and lock health check, unlimited priority service, top-priority scheduling and the highest member savings. Essential and Complete focus on the garage door only.
How do I request a visit once I am a member?
Request a visit through guardyourdoor.com or call (877) 257-6027. Members get priority scheduling on repairs, and the exact timing depends on availability in your part of the city. Before any repair work begins, you see the price, with member savings on labor already applied.
