Durham Spring Wear Patterns
Many Durham homes use insulated doors that place higher load on torsion springs. These springs typically reach end-of-life around the 10–14 year mark, especially in homes with frequent daily use. Triangle humidity accelerates cable wear and can cause intermittent sensor faults — issues we diagnose and correct daily across Durham neighborhoods.
