Common local problems in Lockport
Ice and snow interference near the spring assembly
Accumulated ice or snow at the base of the door can add extra resistance the spring has to work against, a common winter service call.
Cold-weather spring breakage
Cold temperatures make torsion and extension springs more brittle, a leading real-world cause of sudden spring failure in colder climates.
Cable strain in freezing temperatures
Cold can thicken cable lubricant and add strain at the drum, sometimes contributing to fraying on the coldest days.
Cable and hinge cold-brittleness
Along with springs, lift cables can also become more brittle in extreme cold, increasing the chance of sudden failure alongside a spring.
