Why do garage door springs break in San Francisco winters?

Steel torsion springs lose flexibility in the cold, and San Francisco lows near 45F are when a spring near the end of its cycle life most often snaps.

Does San Francisco heat affect garage door openers?

Summer highs near 65F in San Francisco 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.

No. Torsion springs store enough tension to cause serious injury; San Francisco pros typically charge $192-$577 for the repair, which includes balancing the door.

Do garage door installers need a license in CA?

In CA, California requires a CSLB contractor license for any job of $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials, or any job that requires a building permit (Business and Professions Code 7048). Replacing a whole door can require a permit in San Francisco, especially where wind-load ratings apply.
