Census data puts 84% of Elmwood Park homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1957) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

Elmwood Park 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 — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, 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 openers straining against cold-thickened grease, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, and doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
