Garage door questions, answered for Scandia

Scandia sits in Minnesota's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a door: heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks and deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter and freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Scandia homes were built around 1979, and 54% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.
