Why do garage door springs break in Los Angeles winters?

Steel torsion springs lose flexibility in the cold, and Los Angeles lows near 47F are when a spring near the end of its cycle life most often snaps.

Does Los Angeles heat affect garage door openers?

Summer highs near 79F in Los Angeles can make an opener's motor and a door's weatherseal work harder, and a door that reverses on hot days often has a sensor or travel-limit issue rather than a failed opener.

Do garage door installers need a license in CA?
