Question
Why does my garage door stop halfway in summer in Dubai?
Heat is a common trigger, but it usually exposes an existing weakness rather than causing the fault alone. Above 45 C, metal tracks, springs and lubricants behave differently, and a door that was slightly stiff in winter can load the motor enough to trip its force limit or overheat. Fine sand in the rollers and dried grease add friction. A safety sensor knocked out of line by sun glare or movement can also halt travel. Disconnect the opener and lift the door by hand: if it feels heavy, suspect springs or tracks. Our technicians can check balance, rollers and the motor settings on a site visit.
