Lincoln Heights sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, ice that binds the bottom panel to the threshold, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, openers straining against cold-thickened grease, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for Ohio's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Lincoln Heights is cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. Lincoln Heights has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so openers straining against cold-thickened grease turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
