Garage door questions, answered for Freeport

Freeport 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 — wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, and spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, corroded low brackets from winter slush, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Census data puts 77% of Freeport homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1958) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
