Our Manchester, CT service area is in Hartford County. The winters here are very harsh on garage hardware.
As the ground freezes and thaws in January and February, moisture seeps into the torsion spring coils to cause early deterioration. The same moisture also causes rust to form and for the lubricating grease on garage door rollers to harden so that they don’t turn anymore. Many of the doors our techs see haven’t been serviced in years. The International Door Association has maintenance guidance worth reading before another winter. The housing stock in Manchester consists mainly of mid-century and late-century construction, including 1960s split-levels on Hilliard Street and 1980s colonial style homes in the Buckley neighborhood. More recent construction can be found near the Buckland Hills development. Older garage doors are typically made with single-layer steel panels and lack sufficient insulation. These single-layer panels often crack and develop faults due to repeated thermal cycling, and garage door repair Manchester CT calls in late February and early March typically relate to panel damage and spring failures. Calls also spike when a door fails on a rental property and the property manager needs answers quickly.
