Garage door questions, answered for New Ulm

New Ulm sits in long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings. That is hard on a door — freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, and heavy snowpack that strains tracks and brackets all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt and road salt. We size springs and seals for Minnesota's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Census data puts 71% of New Ulm homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1964) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
