Deep winter cold
The Kamas Valley is one of the colder places on our map, with frigid winter nights. Cold is the most common trigger for broken springs, and it slows openers and stiffens doors.

What Francis asks of a garage door
At around 6,500 feet, Francis gets serious winter weather.
Mountain snow
Snow drifts against doors and freezes the bottom seal to the floor. An opener that keeps pulling on a frozen door can snap cables or strip its gears.
New homes with builder doors
Many Francis homes are new, with standard builder doors and openers. An insulated door and good seals make a big difference in a cold climate.
Francis, Summit County Settled in 1869 and named after Francis M. Lyman.
Homes and garage doors in Francis
Francis has gone from a farming crossroads to one of Summit County's faster-growing towns, with new subdivisions spreading across old pastures. Many of the new homes have two- and three-car garages facing open fields, with little to block wind-driven snow. Older farm properties still have barns and shops.
A lot of these newer homes came with uninsulated builder doors. In a valley this cold, an insulated door with good perimeter seals is one of the best upgrades for comfort and for protecting what's inside.
Local tip: If your door freezes to the floor, clear the ice and pull the manual release to free it by hand. Then replace the bottom seal if it's flattened or torn.
