Why cold weather stops your garage door
**Hard, sticky grease** on rollers and hinges makes the door feel twice as heavy. The opener that worked all summer now stalls.
**Frozen bottom seal** sticks to the concrete after a freezing rain. The opener thinks the door hit something and reverses.
**Old torsion spring** (10+ years old) often snaps on a cold morning.
**Opener force set too low** for the heavier cold door. A quick re-adjustment usually fixes it.
**Tight metal track** in the cold can pinch the rollers.
