Speccing a door for Layton
Layton's 86-cycle winters reward two line items: insulated sections on an attached garage — the panel stiffness saves hardware even before the R-value matters — and above all a proper bottom seal, since shedding meltwater instead of pooling it is what keeps a door from freezing down.
Read a Layton quote for four lines: old door removed and disposed of, tracks new, springs sized to the new door's actual weight, opener limits reset. The suspiciously low bid is almost always one of those lines, quietly absent.

This page runs on Layton's numbers (86 freeze–thaw cycles, 1988 median build, 4,495 ft of elevation) — close to the neighbours', never identical, which is exactly the point of measuring per city.
