Garage door questions, answered for Florence

Florence sits in South Carolina's humid subtropical region — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That's hard on a door: high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners 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 and corroded springs and cables in the humid air. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Florence is swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so corroded springs and cables in the humid air turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Most Florence homes were built around 1980, and 50% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.
