Why these doors need careful work
Granada Hills has the oldest housing of any place we cover around Simi Valley. In the 91344 ZIP area the median build year is 1963 and 62.5% of homes date from the 1950s and 1960s, so many openings, headers and tracks are older than every safety rule that now applies to openers. Most are detached houses (82.9%), and the hillside edge has burned: the 2019 Saddle Ridge Fire's perimeter covers about 24% of the community. So we measure carefully, size springs to the door as it is, flag openers older than the 1993 photo-eye rule, and check the seals where the hazard map applies.
Old openings measured
Nothing assumed on a 60-year-old frame.
Pre-1993 openers flagged
No photo eyes means time for a new unit.
Hillside seals
Checked against the 1/8 inch limit.

What has the ground done in the north Valley?
Two big earthquakes shaped this end of the Valley, and both left records.
- 1971 San Fernando quake: magnitude 6.6; the near-failure of a Van Norman dam forced about 80,000 Valley residents to evacuate, per USGS and DWR.
- 1994 Northridge quake: USGS noted ground cracks at Granada Hills.
- For garages: FEMA's homebuilders' guide flags the open garage front as a weak point where living space sits above it.
