Summer heat and sun
Hot summers bake garage doors, crack weatherstripping and fade paint. Openers in hot garages can overheat. An insulated door keeps the garage cooler.

What Dugway asks of a garage door
Out in the west desert, the weather swings hard and the dust never quits.
Alkali dust
Fine desert dust works into rollers, hinges and opener rails, wearing them out. Sealed-bearing rollers and regular cleaning help.
Desert wind
Strong desert wind pushes on wide doors and loosens hardware. Doors caught open in a gust can bend.

Homes and garage doors in Dugway
Dugway is mostly military housing and buildings on the installation. Residents in on-post housing should check with the housing office first, since repairs may be handled through them and access to the post requires approval.
For eligible properties, call us and we'll talk through what's needed.
Local tip: Wipe out the tracks and lubricate the rollers and hinges a couple of times a year. Desert dust turns grease into grinding paste.
