Garage door questions, answered for Silt

Silt sits in a thin, dry mountain climate of snowy winters, intense high-altitude UV, and cold nights even in summer. That is hard on a door — freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, cold-thickened grease that bogs down openers in unheated garages, and warm, dry summers that fatigue springs all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are debris-blinded safety sensors, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We size springs and seals for Colorado's high country conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

With a median Silt home built around 1998 (just 18% pre-1980), the doors here are relatively young, so maintenance and opener upgrades outweigh major rebuilds.

The call we get most in Silt is debris-blinded safety sensors. Silt has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
