How does the climate in Northfield, IL affect my garage door?
Northfield sits in Illinois's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a door: freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter and humidity-swollen wood doors in summer. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
