North Texas heat is the real stress test here, and it's a severe-heat climate band across this whole service area, Lantana included. On a newer opener, sustained high heat doesn't rot a wood panel - there isn't one - but it does shorten the life of the opener's circuit board and the lubricant inside the drive mechanism faster than a mild climate would. Torsion springs on 2000s-era doors also see more cycling fatigue from heat-expanded steel than the manufacturer's rated cycle count assumes. The households in Lantana skew toward higher income, $200,147 median versus roughly $143,304 across the wider area we serve, which tends to mean two-car, two-door households running openers daily rather than occasionally - more cycles, more heat exposure, and springs that wear out on a shorter clock than the same door would see in a milder climate or a lighter-use household.
