The climate in Beltsville can be very changeable from season to season. During the summer months it can get very hot with high humidity, causing wooden panels to warp, old grease to become soft and to cause corrosion on metal components.
In the winter months there can be enough ice and freeze-thaw cycles to cause track brackets to shift and cause cables to become stiff and eventually to break. Many of the doors that our technicians service are found in homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in ranch-style and split-level homes found in neighborhoods such as Calverton and in Beltsville’s Research District. The torsion hardware that was originally installed on these 40-year-old-plus doors is rarely, if ever, replaced. As a result, doors of this age that have not been serviced for several years may exhibit worn hardware and stiff cables after a severe freeze or extended hot summer. The International Door Association has seasonal care advice for older torsion hardware.
