Deeper snow, longer winters
Higher elevation means more snow and colder nights than the valley floor. Snow drifts against the door and freezes the bottom seal to the slab. A door that's frozen shut shouldn't be forced with the opener.
Woodland Hills is a small, wooded community on the hills above Salem and Payson. Its steep streets, trees and higher elevation make garage doors work a little harder.
Woodland Hills feels more like a mountain community than a valley town, and garage doors notice.
Higher elevation means more snow and colder nights than the valley floor. Snow drifts against the door and freezes the bottom seal to the slab. A door that's frozen shut shouldn't be forced with the opener.
Wooded lots drop leaves and debris along the door and into the tracks, and attract mice looking for a warm garage. A tight bottom seal and side weatherstripping keep both out.
Steep driveways send water toward the garage, and uneven floors leave gaps under the door. A good seal and threshold help keep water and cold out.
Woodland Hills, Utah County Founded in 1970, it had just 60 residents in 1980 and more than 1,500 by 2020.
Most Woodland Hills homes are on larger, sloped lots with attached garages, many built from the 1990s on. A lot of the doors and openers are original and now due for attention.
If your garage sits under living space, an insulated door helps keep that room warmer in winter.
Local tip: In the fall, clear leaves from the bottom of the door and the tracks. Wet leaves trapped against the seal freeze it to the floor once the cold hits.
