Garage door questions, answered for Watertown

Watertown sits in harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year. That is hard on a door — ice dams that bind the bottom panel to the threshold, doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, and rapid freeze-thaw that splits aging weather seals all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice dams binding the bottom panel to the threshold, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We size springs and seals for South Dakota's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
