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.
Frozen door-bottom seal adding spring load
In freezing conditions, a bottom seal frozen to the driveway can force the spring to work against extra resistance when the door opens, a common cold-climate stress factor.
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.
Cable strain in freezing temperatures
Cold can thicken cable lubricant and add strain at the drum, sometimes contributing to fraying on the coldest days.
