A garage door frozen shut in Reading 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. Reading's freezing winters wears doors down — snow & ice jam tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. 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.
