Garage door questions, answered for Lanark

The call we get most in Lanark is freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Lanark has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Lanark 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 — spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Census data puts 84% of Lanark homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1944) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
