Garage door questions, answered for Roxana

Roxana sits in four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes. That is hard on a door — road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, and rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Roxana is doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. Roxana has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Census data puts 90% of Roxana homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1949) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
