Garage Door Opening Slowly — Rockford
Noticeably slower than it used to be, often worse first thing in the morning.
What it usually means in Rockford
In a metro this cold, thickened lubricant is a real cause rather than a theoretical one. Standard oils stiffen appreciably below zero, and a door that is fine in October is visibly slower in January. Use a lubricant rated for cold weather here rather than whatever is on the shelf. If the door is slow year-round rather than only when cold, the springs have lost tension and the opener is carrying weight it should not.
