Garage door questions, answered for Northfield

Northfield sits in warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. That is hard on a door — cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
