Four hard seasons on both sides of the river

St. Louis gets a little of everything. Summers are hot and sticky, winters bring ice and the occasional heavy snow, and spring storms can carry wind and hail across both Missouri and Illinois. A garage door goes through all of it in a single year. Heat dries out grease and seals, ice glues the door to the slab, and storms test how well the door is braced. Our storm season prep guide is a good place to start each spring.

The city's brick neighborhoods have a lot of homes with garages set back along alleys, many of them older and some with doors that have been patched more than once. Inner-ring suburbs like Florissant filled in after the war with modest homes and single or double garages. Out in St. Charles County, newer subdivisions in O'Fallon and nearby towns tend to have wide insulated doors. Each type wears differently, but heavy doors and older springs both need a close look. See how long springs and openers last.

Across the Mississippi, towns in the Metro East sit along river bottoms and bluffs. Homes in Alton, East Alton and Elsah sit close to damp river air, while Belleville and Edwardsville have plenty of suburban streets with two-car garages. Humidity near the water can speed up rust on hinges and fasteners, and muggy summers keep wood doors from fully drying out. Cleaning and lubricating the hardware every year slows that down.

The hilly ground in west county and along the bluffs means many driveways slope toward the garage. Rain carries grit to the threshold, and the bottom seal and lower rollers take the brunt. If you notice a gap under one side of the door, our guide to an uneven gap at the bottom explains common causes. Springs and cables hold strong tension, so leave any adjustment to a professional.

How do hot summers and icy winters in St. Louis wear on a door?

Summer heat dries out lubricant and weatherstripping, and winter ice can freeze the bottom seal to the floor and strain the opener. Going from one extreme to the other every year is hard on springs, rollers and seals. The yearly tune-up lubricates every moving part, inspects springs, cables, rollers and hinges, tests balance and checks the opener's safety reverse.

We just bought an older house in the city. Where should we start?

Start with a full look at the door you inherited, since you rarely know how long the springs and opener have been in place. Our new homeowner checklist covers the basics. A DoorGuard membership includes a yearly tune-up and safety inspection, so you get a clear picture of the door's condition early, plus member savings on repair labor with the price shown first.

Is my garage door noise something to worry about?

Some noise is normal, but grinding, popping or a loud bang can mean worn rollers, a dry track or a spring problem. A bang from a closed door can be a broken spring, and in that case do not try to open it. Members can request a visit through the site or at (877) 257-6027 and get priority scheduling.
