What breaks here, and the fix
Housing
The housing in San Mateo
The median San Mateo house dates to 1965. A door fitted with a house that age has either been replaced once already or is running on springs that used up their rating a long time ago. Springs are rated in cycles, not years. A 10,000 cycle spring on a door that opens four times a day is finished in about seven. Hold that against a 1965 house and you get five or six spring lifetimes.
What breaks
What breaks in San Mateo
Springs first: with a median build year of 1965, most doors here are on their second or third set of torsion springs. Cables second. They fray quietly for months before they part, which is why the ones caught during another job are the cheap ones. Third is openers from the 1990s and early 2000s that have chewed through their drive gears. The original openings around San Mateo Park and Baywood are wider than the post-war tracts further south, and a wider door takes a different spring than a standard single.
San Mateo
East and west of El Camino
San Mateo splits along El Camino Real. West of it, in the 94402 ZIP that holds San Mateo Park, Baywood and Aragon, the median house dates to 1958, 19.7% of homes are pre-war and 60.1% are detached. San Mateo Park was subdivided in 1902 and Baywood came from the Parrott estate, annexed in 1927, so period-revival houses with detached garages are common there. East of El Camino the 94401, 94403 and 94404 ZIPs have median build years from 1964 to 1976: post-war tracts, one-car ranch garages in South Shoreview, and Hillsdale, which grew up around the shopping center that opened in December 1954. Bay Meadows, rebuilt after the racetrack closed in 2007, is new stock with new openers.

Questions
San Mateo questions
How fast can you get to San Mateo?
Over the San Mateo Bridge or the Dumbarton, either way about 25 miles and 30 to 40 minutes off peak from our Fremont office. Call any time and we tell you when we can be there.
Do you work on the older houses in San Mateo Park?
Yes. The original openings around there are wider than the standard tract door, which rules out the off-the-shelf kit. We measure before quoting rather than after, so nothing arrives on the day that doesn't fit the opening.
Do you work on the period houses west of El Camino?
Yes. Baywood, Aragon and San Mateo Park hold Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival houses from the late 1920s and 1930s, and many have detached garages with older openings. We measure before quoting and match the door to the house rather than to a catalog size.
