Garage Door Won't Open in Cold Weather (Chattanooga)

**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.

We lube the door with cold-rated white lithium grease. We check the weather seals and replace any that are worn. We test spring tension, look over each roller, and reset the opener force. Book this in October or November and you'll likely skip the January emergency call.
