Canyon wind
Wind funnels through the Weber River canyon and Echo Canyon. Gusts push on wide doors, loosen hinges and tracks, and can bend a door that's caught open.
Henefer is a small town on the Weber River where Echo Canyon meets I-84. It's one of the farthest towns we serve in Summit County, and we're glad to make the trip.
Henefer's canyon location shapes its weather and its garage doors.

Canyon towns get cold air settling overnight. Cold is hard on old springs and slows openers.
Many Henefer properties have shops and outbuildings with doors that see seasonal use. Doors that sit unused can seize or rust.
Henefer, Summit County Named for early residents James and William Hennefer. Look for the big H on the hillside.
Henefer is where the 1847 pioneer trail came down out of Echo Canyon, and the town still has a lot of older homes on big lots with detached garages, sheds and shops. Newer homes sit on the benches above the Weber River.
Older detached garages here often have doors that were added long after the building went up, with tracks bolted to whatever framing was there. If the door sags, binds or won't stay open, the problem is often the mounting, not just the spring. We'll tell you honestly whether an older door is worth repairing.
Local tip: If a shop door sits unused for long stretches, open and close it a few times a month so springs and bearings don't seize.
