Lehi has grown from a small farm town into the heart of Silicon Slopes, and it's right next door to us in Highland. We work in everything from old downtown homes to brand-new Traverse Mountain builds.
Lehi covers a lot of ground, and the conditions change across it.
Traverse Mountain and north Lehi sit on the Point of the Mountain, one of the windiest spots on the Wasatch Front. It's windy enough that paragliders fly there. Strong gusts push on wide doors, bend top sections and rattle tracks loose. Reinforcing struts help.
Many of Lehi's newer neighborhoods came with standard builder doors and light-duty openers. They're fine at first, but tend to wear quicker than heavier parts. Homes from the 2000s and 2010s are now due for new springs and often a new opener.
Closer to Main Street, older homes may have single-car garages, detached garages, and doors or openers that are decades old. Some still use side-mounted extension springs, which we often convert to a safer torsion system.
Lehi, Utah County Named for a Book of Mormon prophet, Lehi is home to Thanksgiving Point and the heart of Silicon Slopes.
Lehi's housing ranges from historic homes downtown to townhomes near the tech offices and large houses on the hills of Traverse Mountain. That means everything from a narrow single door to a three-car garage with a separate RV bay.
Busy households open and close the garage many times a day, which puts more cycles on springs and openers. Plan on new springs sooner if your garage is the main way in and out.
Local tip: If your garage is the family's front door, count the trips. Four or five round trips a day can wear out a standard spring in well under ten years.
Lehi is just across the line from Highland, so we're in town often. We also work on doors at businesses and shops.

North Lehi and Traverse Mountain sit near the Point of the Mountain, where wind funnels between Utah and Salt Lake valleys. Gusts push on the garage door like a sail, which can bend sections and loosen hardware. Reinforcing struts and a sturdier door help.
A standard torsion spring is rated for roughly 10,000 cycles. A family that opens the door several times a day can use that up in 5 to 8 years. Higher-cycle springs cost a little more and last much longer.
I give Specialized the highest rating possible. I have used them for well over a decade for all of our garage door needs. I have also referred them to a number of friends and family. They are always on-time, very well priced, and know exactly what they are doing.
