Cold weather and moisture can cause moving components to have greater friction and weight to deal with on the next open/close cycle. If the door was approaching cycle limits on the springs or another part that was about to fail, this might be the day it finally breaks.

We can help! Give us a call and we can help prevent a bad morning from happening when you have to be somewhere important and you can't get the car out of the garage. We can inspect and service your door and help prevent that bad morning from happening.
