Why do garage door springs break in San Diego winters?

Steel torsion springs lose flexibility in the cold, and San Diego lows near 44F are when a spring near the end of its cycle life most often snaps.

Does San Diego heat affect garage door openers?

Summer highs near 81F in San Diego 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.

Do garage door installers need a license in CA?

In CA, California requires a CSLB contractor license for any job of $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials, or any job that requires a building permit (Business and Professions Code 7048). Replacing a whole door can require a permit in San Diego, especially where wind-load ratings apply.
