The holidays in North Texas are a time for family gatherings, festive light displays, and unfortunately, unexpected garage door failures. There is never a “good” time for a torsion spring to snap, but having your car trapped inside the garage on Christmas morning or finding your door stuck open while you’re headed to DFW Airport is a true holiday emergency.
At Flash Garage Door Service, we believe your holiday focus should be on your loved ones, not your hardware. That is why we offer garage door repair throughout the holiday season across the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Why Garage Doors Fail During the Holidays
The DFW “winter” is famous for its sudden temperature swings. One day it’s 70 degrees in Dallas, and the next, a cold front drops temperatures into the 30s in Denton. These fluctuations are the primary cause of holiday garage door issues:
-
Brittle Springs: Cold weather makes metal more brittle. A spring that was already near the end of its life cycle is most likely to snap during wild swings in weather. Going from hot to cold and back to hot again takes its toll on your garage door spring.
-
Thickened Lubricant: Older grease can “gum up”, causing your opener to strain or the door to move sluggishly.
-
Increased Use: Between visiting relatives and delivery drivers dropping off packages, your door likely cycles more in December than any other month.
Priority Service for DFW Property Managers
We know that for property management companies in Collin and Tarrant Counties, a holiday garage door emergency is also a budget emergency. If a tenant’s door fails on a holiday weekend, “after-hours” fees from other companies can skyrocket.
Flash Garage Door Service partners with managers to provide cost-effective emergency response. We don’t believe in “holiday price gouging.” Our goal is to secure the property and get the door functional at a fair rate, ensuring your owners stay profitable and your tenants stay happy during the most wonderful time of the year.
