Yes,
Last weekend we had plus weather in Manitoba, all ice melted and then its all again cold and frost. My garage door now froze. I put some salt and scrap ice from bottom of the door but it seems that ice is on the side of the door. Is there any way to open.
I am planning to use small heater there but the electric plug is really far from the door.
Any tips or advice?

Hi ,,
You can rent shwank heaters that run on propane cylinders to warm up your garage / door . These heaters are very commonly used in construction sites.
Hope it helps a little.

Never done it to the garage door - but can't you pour hot boiling water? I do that to my car windshield on days...

I am just thinking out loud ...
what are the chances of doing this on garage door successfully without getting it 're-freeze' (making it worst).
I think, as AshwaniG suggested you got to look at bringing air temperature to higher level.

Try to keep that sides of the garage door clean. Remove any snow that gathers there. I use my old summer "zhadu" for this purpose.
You can try applying garage door strip, available at homedepot. You apply that rubber strip on bottom of your door. This creates kind of sealing and protects your garage from getting blowing snow/water inside.
