Garage door questions, answered for Sheldon

The call we get most in Sheldon is doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. Sheldon has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Sheldon sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. We size springs and seals for Iowa's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
