Why do garage door springs break in Birmingham winters?
Steel torsion springs lose flexibility in the cold, and Birmingham lows near 34F are when a spring near the end of its cycle life most often snaps.
Does Birmingham heat affect garage door openers?
Summer highs near 91F in Birmingham can make an opener's motor and a door's weatherseal work harder, and a door that reverses on hot days often has a sensor or travel-limit issue rather than a failed opener.

No. Torsion springs store enough tension to cause serious injury; Birmingham pros typically charge $140-$421 for the repair, which includes balancing the door.
Do garage door installers need a license in AL?
