Speccing a door for West Jordan
At 90.5 freeze–thaw cycles a year, spend on two things: insulated construction if the garage is attached (the stiffness reduces hardware wear even where the R-value is secondary), and — cheaper and more decisive — a quality bottom seal, because a West Jordan door that sheds meltwater instead of pooling it is a door that does not freeze to the slab.
Read a West Jordan 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.
