Carter Lake sits in Iowa's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a door: freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
