Why Gulf Coast weather is hard on garage door hardware

Lake Charles is one of the more humid places in the country, so a lot of our work here comes from doors getting wet. Spring pins can rust from the inside out.

Read moreThe wire strands of the cable can corrode where they are wrapped around the drum. Rollers that ran quietly in spring can begin to grind by fall. Our techs commonly encounter doors on the older brick ranch homes in Prien Lake as well as the wood-frame homes along the Calcasieu River corridor that are 10 to 15 years old and have never received a lube and adjustment. The International Door Association explains what a seasonal inspection should cover. Hurricane season adds wind load on garage doors, which strains the tracks and hinges and can damage a door during a named storm. Many older garage doors went in before today's wind-load standards, so it is worth having them checked for proper bracing and seals before the next hurricane season. Our garage door repair Lake Charles LA techs can inspect the bracing and bottom seal of an older door before the next season.
