Why Evanston doors fail differently
Evanston's location off Lake Michigan means garage door springs work harder here. Lake-effect snow, persistent winds, and salt air increase corrosion on metal components. This includes the springs, cables, and bearings. Rust and fatigue can cause premature spring failure. Many homes in areas like the Ridge Historic District feature century-old detached garages. These older structures, often accessed via rear alleys, may have original garage door hardware. The weight of older, heavier carriage-house style doors, common due to historic district rules, adds stress to springs. We know Evanston's garage doors and the specific challenges they face from our local climate and housing stock.
