Cold temperatures and your springs
The cold weather is here, and it’s time to prepare your garage door for the new season. The winter months and the cold temperatures can be harsh for garage doors, but there are some quick and easy steps you can take to get ready before the snow begins to fall. If you’re looking for a new spring or just want to ensure that your current one lasts until next year, we can help.
Taking care of your springs
Garage door springs are vital for keeping the door balanced and functional. With that said, they are also susceptible to being damaged during extreme weather conditions.
To help your metal springs last longer, here are some tips you should follow this winter:
• If possible, drain water from inside of spring reservoirs – This will prevent ice build-up, which can cause damage or make it more difficult to open/close your garage door later on in the year
• Check if any nuts/bolts have come loose over time – Make sure everything is secure, so there won’t be any problems with opening/closing your garage door down the road
• Remove leaves and debris around hinges – You don’t want anything interfering with the proper operation of both doors leading into your house as well as the garage

Top Choice Garage Doors provides a wide selection of options when it comes to garage doors, so you can get the right look for your home while getting excellent service in return.
Annual maintenance
For your garage springs to function properly, it is important to have them checked once a year. A good way to remember this is either before or after the winter months, so you won’t be dealing with any issues later on in the year.
