Garage door questions, answered for Grafton

Grafton sits in Ohio'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 corroded low brackets from winter slush. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Grafton homes were built around 1976, and 57% 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.
