Alexandria sits in long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings. That is hard on a door — deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease, ice dams that bind the bottom panel to the threshold, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice dams binding the bottom panel to the threshold, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt and road salt, and frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages. We size springs and seals for Minnesota's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
