Dad Joke of the Day: 🧔♂️😂
Q: Why did the turkey cross the road and head straight for the garage?
A: To prove it wasn’t chicken and to check out the new overhead tracks!

Hosting Thanksgiving is stressful enough without unexpected household disasters. Imagine having relatives arriving for dinner from all over Central Ohio, only to find that your car is trapped inside the garage because the door refuses to budge.
To make sure your holiday stays festive and stress-free, let us look at why Thanksgiving puts extra strain on your garage door—and how you can prevent a holiday disaster!
Why Thanksgiving Triggers Garage Stress
Holiday hosting means your garage door goes through heavy multi-cycle use in a single weekend. Relatives park in your driveway, kids run in and out for supplies, and doors open and close repeatedly.
If your torsion springs are already fatigued from the recent freezing November temperature drops, that sudden spike in activity is often the final straw. A worn spring that was barely hanging on during October can easily snap on Thanksgiving morning, leaving you with a heavy, dead-weighted door and zero way to get your car out of the garage.
Simple Steps to Prevent a Holiday Breakdown
You do not have to let a broken garage door ruin your holiday hosting. Follow these quick steps to ensure your system is ready for company:
- Listen for Warning Signs: If your door groans, squeaks loudly, or hesitates when lifting, it is asking for professional help.
- Test the Door Balance: Disengage your automatic opener and manually lift the door halfway. If it does not stay put and instead falls or flies up, your springs have lost their proper tension.
- Inspect the Tracks: Clear away any autumn leaves, twigs, or dirt from the bottom track corners to ensure smooth, unhindered rolling.
- Call Early: Do not wait until Thanksgiving morning when you are trapped. Our local 3-person crew is ready across Central Ohio to inspect and tune up your system before guests arrive!
