What Wendover asks of a garage door
Near the salt flats, corrosion and heat are the main enemies.
Desert heat
Summer heat bakes doors, cracks weatherstripping and fades paint. An insulated door keeps the garage cooler.
Strong desert wind
Wind along I-80 west of Tooele is strong enough to close the highway to some vehicles at times. Gusts push on wide doors and loosen hardware.
