Spring life in Sugar Land, from the local numbers
Sugar Land's 5.4-cycle winters barely touch spring steel, so rated life is the norm here. The check that matters is the balance test — opener released, door lifted to waist height. If it drifts, the counterbalance is off and everything downstream wears faster.
Given that half the homes in Sugar Land were standing by 1994, the doors worth testing before winter are the ones still on their original springs — the balance test finds them before a cold morning does.
