Alexandria sits in Minnesota's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a door: heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks and deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease 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 and freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
