Garage door questions, answered for East Ridge

Census data puts 76% of East Ridge 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.

East Ridge sits in a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That is hard on a door — corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. We size springs and seals for Tennessee's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
