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

A garage door frozen shut rarely happens in a vacuum. New Orleans's heat and Gulf humidity wears doors down — heat overworks openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every August heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local New Orleans pro

We free the door safely, replace a damaged seal, check the opener for strain, and lubricate everything for the cold months.
