Common local problems in South Boston
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.
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.
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.
Balance drift from freeze-thaw cycling
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can gradually affect door balance and spring tension, a common reason for a balance/tension adjustment in winter climates.
