A garage door frozen shut in Houston usually just needs the ice seal broken — but repeated freezing can damage the bottom seal, rollers, or opener.

Living with Houston's heat and humidity means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. summer heat overworks openers and storm season batters doors both feed straight into a garage door frozen shut, which is why our Harris County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door frozen shut

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Ice bonding the seal to the slab
Melt-and-refreeze cycles glue the weather seal to the floor.
A stiff or cracked bottom seal
Cold makes the rubber brittle so it tears when forced.
An over-strained opener
Repeatedly fighting a frozen door can burn out the opener.
