The city of Lexington is not near the coast so it does not have a salt-air type of climate.
The temperature fluctuates greatly between the very low temperatures in the winter months and the extremely hot temperatures in the summer months. All parts of the door, such as springs, cables and bottom seals cycle through these temperatures and wear out. The coldest part of the winter places extra stress on already weak springs and it is typically this added weight that finally breaks the worn spring. The International Door Association publishes a list of items that require seasonal maintenance to try to catch some of the failures that occur on a seasonal basis. An additional consideration with the housing stock is the large number of homes that were built during the fast growth years of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Most of these homes were originally equipped with torsion spring doors. The cycle rating for these older doors is often significantly different from newer doors, and the size of the springs to cope with single car garages (as they were originally built) are often wider than the springs needed for the newer, wider garages. Our techs find that on a large number of garage door repair Lexington KY calls, there is often old hardware that needs to be replaced and it is noted on the written quote as one of the first items to be flagged. The age and type of doors and openers found in the homes in Hartland, Tates Creek and Picadome neighborhoods can vary greatly.
