Garage Doors in Michigan

The upward-lifting garage door used in most American homes today traces back to Detroit — inventor C.G. Johnson built his first factory there in 1921, a two-story, 1,000-square-foot shop that could turn out one finished door a day, before the growing business relocated its manufacturing to Indiana a few years later. More than a century after that Detroit start, Michigan's own winters are exactly the kind of conditions that put that same spring-and-track mechanism to the test: steel torsion springs contract and stiffen as temperatures drop, and a spring already worn from years of daily use is far more likely to snap on a cold morning than a mild one. Between lake-effect snow loading down on tracks and hardware and the deep cold that settles over the state most winters, Michigan's springs, rollers, and openers see real seasonal wear.
