Garage door questions, answered for Mercer Island

Mercer Island sits in a cool, wet maritime climate — abundant rainfall, frequent fog, and damp, salt-tinged onshore wind much of the year. That is hard on a door — near-constant damp that swells and warps wood doors, morning fog condensation that beads on cold metal tracks, and high humidity that seizes rollers and hinges all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rust-seized springs and cables in the wet climate, corroded tracks and rollers near the coast, warped, swollen wood doors from constant damp, and rotted bottom seals and brackets. We size springs and seals for Washington's cool, wet Pacific coast conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
