Garage door questions, answered for Erie

Erie 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 — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, ice that binds the bottom panel to the threshold, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Census data puts 76% of Erie homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1967) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
