What that means for your garage door

Walker mixes older homes, newer subdivisions and plenty of commercial and industrial buildings. Residential doors here face open ground and wind from the west, so seals and insulation help; see winter seals. Older ranches near the city line often have single-car garages with original wood or early steel doors, while newer homes farther north have wider, heavier insulated doors that need properly sized springs.

Lake-effect drifts

Snow blowing across open lots drifts against garage doors and packs into the tracks. Bare lots in newer developments give the wind a long run at the house, so a door with weak struts can flex and rattle in a winter storm.

From township to city

Walker Township was organized on December 30, 1837, the second township in Kent County, covering all the county's land north of the Grand River at first. Its earliest settlers were Canadian immigrants. After Grand Rapids annexed the area around the township hall in 1959, Walker became a city in 1962, with about 11,000 people, to stop further annexation. Homes from those early city years often have original or second-generation doors due for replacement; see new garage doors.
