Oak Forest sits in warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. That is hard on a door — freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
