Garage door questions, answered for Crete

Crete 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 openers straining against cold-thickened grease and freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Crete homes were built around 1976, and 58% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.
