A wave of aging builder doors
Most Herriman homes were built since 2000, many with standard builder doors and light-duty openers. Springs rated for about 10,000 cycles and entry-level openers often need replacing between 8 and 15 years in.

What Herriman asks of a garage door
Herriman's growth and its spot against the Oquirrh Mountains shape what we see here.
Wind on the west bench
Herriman sits on the open west side of the valley, where strong gusts are common. Wind pushes on wide doors and RV bays, bending sections and loosening hardware.
Strong afternoon sun
With young trees and west-facing homes, many doors take the full summer sun. That fades paint and cracks weatherstripping. An insulated door keeps the garage cooler.
Herriman, Salt Lake County Grew from about 1,500 people in 2000 to over 55,000 in 2020. Two locust trees mark the old Fort Herriman.
Homes and garage doors in Herriman
Herriman is mostly newer two-story homes and townhomes, many with three-car garages or RV bays. Construction dust from new neighborhoods ends up in tracks and rollers.
If you're upgrading, a heavier insulated door is stiffer in the wind and quieter to run.
Local tip: If your opener strains or the door slams the last few inches, the springs may be weakening. Have the balance checked before the opener burns out.

Herriman garage door questions
Why do so many Herriman garage door springs break around the same time?
Many Herriman homes were built in the same few years with similar builder-grade springs. Those springs have a similar life, so they tend to wear out across a neighborhood at about the same age.

Yes. We replace worn openers with new models that include safety sensors and can add features like battery backup, quieter belt drives and smartphone control.
