Lillington is different - the median build year here lands around 2001, more than two decades newer. That means most doors in this area are steel sectional doors on standard-lift torsion or extension springs, matched to openers from the late 1990s through the 2000s, not the older one-piece or track-mounted hardware you'd find in an older subdivision.
