Because spring steel becomes more brittle as temperature drops, so a spring already near the end of its cycle life gives out on the coldest morning of the year.
What to do about it: Book a balance check in autumn. Every local company is at capacity during that freeze, and that is when emergency rates apply.
Hiring a garage door company in White Plains
