Garage door questions, answered for Gilroy

Gilroy sits in California's Mediterranean climate region — a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. That's hard on a door: intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets and long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are noisy, vibrating doors from loosened hardware and corroded low brackets on homes near the coast. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Gilroy is noisy, vibrating doors from loosened hardware. Local housing is predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so corroded low brackets on homes near the coast turns up often too.
