Spring life in Katy, from the local numbers
At only 6.8 freeze–thaw cycles a year, Katy springs mostly serve their full rated life. What deserves the attention instead is balance: pull the release and lift — a door that will not hold at waist height is eating its spring and its opener at once.
Given that half the homes in Katy were standing by 2003, the doors worth testing before winter are the ones still on their original springs — the balance test finds them before a cold morning does.
Katy against its neighbours
The measurements shift town by town: Richmond runs 5.8 freeze–thaw cycles and 8–10 years of spring life; Rosenberg runs 6 freeze–thaw cycles and 8–10 years of spring life; and Sugar Land runs 5.4 freeze–thaw cycles and 8–10 years of spring life.
Against that backdrop, Katy holds 6.8 cycles at 135 ft with a 2003 median build year — the specific inputs behind every figure above.

The mechanics are universal even where the climate is not: the national spring repair guide walks the repair itself, the anatomy of a fair quote, and the honest DIY verdict — everything this Katy page deliberately does not repeat.
