In Afton it is usually cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Afton: with cold northern climate of long and heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks, freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, the common failure modes are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings. Our Afton trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
