Garage Door Repair in Peterborough

We serve Peterborough and the surrounding Kawartha area by appointment. Because it is a longer drive from our Ajax base, we ask Peterborough customers to book ahead where possible so we can plan the route.

Cold-weather garage door problems in Peterborough

The door frozen to the concrete

Melted snow runs down the door, pools under the rubber seal and freezes solid overnight. In the morning the opener pulls, the door will not move, and something gives — usually a cable, or the gear inside the opener.

Grease that turns to glue

Ordinary grease thickens badly below minus 15. Rollers stop rolling and start sliding, and the opener has to fight the whole way. A proper winter-grade lubricant applied in the fall prevents most of the winter calls we take from Peterborough.

Cracked and hardened weather seals

The rubber strip along the bottom of the door goes hard and splits after a few winters. Then snow, water and mice come in. Replacing the seal is a cheap job that makes a cold garage noticeably better.

Uninsulated doors on rural properties

Many properties around Lakefield, Bridgenorth and Ennismore have older detached garages and workshops with thin, uninsulated doors. If you use that space in winter, an insulated door pays for itself in comfort and in heating costs.

Remote batteries in the cold

Cold kills small batteries fast. If your remote works inside the house but not from the car on a freezing morning, that is your battery — not the opener.
