Garage door questions, answered for Hays

Hays sits in long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings. That is hard on a door — rapid freeze-thaw that splits aging weather seals, heavy snowpack that strains tracks and brackets, and ice dams that bind the bottom panel to the threshold all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, ice dams binding the bottom panel to the threshold, and rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt and road salt. We size springs and seals for Montana's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
