The first freezing morning is the worst time to discover your garage door has been warning you for weeks.
With overnight temperatures already dropping close to freezing in Alberta, take five minutes to check:
• Does the door complete a full cycle smoothly?
• Is the bottom seal cracked, brittle or letting daylight through?
• Are the safety sensors clean and working properly?
• Do the springs or cables show gaps, rust or fraying?
Look — but don’t touch. Garage door springs and cables are under high tension and should never be adjusted without proper training.
Save this checklist before the next cold snap.
If something doesn’t pass, stop using the door and message B&W Garage Doors.
