NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put this city at 82.1 days a year at or above 90F and 16.8 at or above 100F. That is weather, not a diagnosis — but one mechanism does join the two, and the trade association publishes it. DASMA's data sheet on thermal bowing has an insulated bonded-core section — steel skins bonded to a foam core — bowing toward whichever skin is warmer, a dark door more than a pale one and a door in direct sun more than one out of it. From inside the garage that reads as the top section rubbing the header, or a line of daylight where a closed door should meet the opening. DASMA calls it inherent and not a defect, which is worth knowing where 91.3% of the 6,958 homes went up since 2000 and the census median build year is 2010: on a door that young the assumption is that something broke. So it starts with questions. Does it do it in the afternoon and not at breakfast, which way does the opening face, does the door already carry struts across the back. Reinforcement is the fix DASMA names, and how much of it a given door wants is its own maker's answer.
