A garage door that opens slowly in Kansas City is often dry rollers, a weak opener, or a speed setting. A tune-up usually solves it.

In Kansas City, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door opens slowly. Months of freezing winters mean cold snaps brittle springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Jackson County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

What might be wrong
