Why Illinois's continental-climate region is hard on garage doors
Round Lake Beach sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That matters for garage doors because it means freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware.
In practice, the failures techs see most around here are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. None of these are signs of a bad door — they're the predictable result of years of local weather working on steel, springs, and seals.
Repairs that come up most in Round Lake Beach
The majority of calls fall into four buckets: broken torsion or extension springs, failing openers, frayed lift cables, and doors that have jumped their tracks. A balanced door lifts with one hand — if yours fights you, the spring is usually the culprit.
