Residential doors see roughly 3 cycles per day on average. Most components hit end-of-life on a predictable schedule, from springs (7–10 years) to openers (12–18 years).
Coastal corrosion
Coastal homes see accelerated corrosion. Galvanized hardware and stainless fasteners extend life.
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door is the single most common cause of structural damage we see at residential properties.
Missed maintenance
Residential doors often go years without service. Lubrication, balance, and sensor alignment are the most common neglected items.
