The windy Point of the Mountain
The Point of the Mountain is famous for wind, steady enough for paragliders at the Flight Park. South Draper homes feel it. Gusts push on wide doors, bending sections and loosening hardware. Reinforcement struts help.

What Draper asks of a garage door
Few cities on the Wasatch Front have as wide a range of conditions as Draper.
Mountain snow in SunCrest
SunCrest and the upper Corner Canyon area sit much higher than the valley and get mountain-style snow, wind and cold. Snow drifts against doors and freezes seals to the slab. An opener that keeps pulling on a frozen door can snap cables.
Large and custom homes
Draper has many large homes with three- and four-car garages, RV bays and custom doors. Heavier doors need springs and cables matched to their weight, and openers sized for the load.
Draper, Salt Lake County Named for early settler William Draper.
Homes and garage doors in Draper
Draper's homes range from older ramblers near the original town center to large custom homes on the east bench and in SunCrest. Many 1990s and 2000s homes still have original springs and openers.
If you live at higher elevation, an insulated door and good seals keep the garage warmer and drier.
Local tip: If you live up in SunCrest, keep a snow shovel near the garage door. Clearing the threshold before you open the door saves the bottom seal and the opener.
