What Navarre Doors Run Into
Salt air rusts springs, cables, hinges and track bolts quickly. A spring with orange, flaky coils is likely to break sooner, and rusted bolts are often what lets go when wind pushes on the door.
See rust on springs and hardware.
Common Calls From Navarre
- Rusted springs and cables, often found during another repair.
- Doors bent or knocked off track after a storm.
- Openers dead after a lightning storm.
- Second homes and rentals with doors left unused for weeks, then stuck.
Rentals and Second Homes
Doors that sit unused stiffen up in the salt air. Before a season of guests, a quick service visit to lubricate and check the door saves a midweek breakdown.
Openers with phone alerts and guest codes help when you're not there. See opener replacement.
After a Storm
If wind pushed the door in or bent its track, leave it closed, keep everyone clear and take photos for insurance. Don't run the opener. Read storm damaged doors.
Replacing a Door Here
Navarre is in Santa Rosa County, which handles building permits for unincorporated areas. A new door generally needs a permit and the right approval for the house.
Rust resistant doors and stainless or galvanized hardware are worth the extra cost this close to the water.
Opener Trouble After Storms
Lightning and power surges are hard on opener circuit boards. If the opener stopped working after a storm, check the breaker and outlet first, then call. A battery backup lets you open the door while the power is out. See opener repair.
Where Technicians Go
Navarre along Highway 98, the neighborhoods north toward East Bay, and nearby Holley.
