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

Why does this keep happening in Mount Vernon? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door frozen shut is one of the more common calls our Mount Vernon crews run.

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.
