Head of the Harbor sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, and doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, openers straining against cold-thickened grease, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. We size springs and seals for New York's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
