Garage door questions, answered for Frontenac

Frontenac sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. We size springs and seals for Missouri's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Frontenac is storm-driven debris and water in the tracks. Frontenac has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Census data puts 63% of Frontenac homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1968) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
