Garage door questions, answered for Monte Sereno

Monte Sereno sits in California's Mediterranean climate region — a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. That's hard on a door: intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets and long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day and dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Monte Sereno is worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day. Local housing is mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV turns up often too.
