Panel replacement
One bad section doesn't mean a whole new door.
- Damaged sections replaced or braced
- Tracks and hinges checked
- Price before parts are ordered
A bumper against the bottom panel, a dent from a basketball, a section that's split along a hinge line: damage like this usually affects one or two panels, not the whole door. Replacing only those sections keeps the cost down and the door looking even.
The tech checks whether matching sections are still made for your door and whether the impact bent the tracks or knocked rollers loose. When panels can't be matched or too many are damaged, we'll price a new door next to the repair.
Door crunched in?
Don't run the opener. Call and tell us what happened, and we'll get it looked at.
Panel repair options
What we recommend depends on how bent the section is and whether it still holds its shape.
Section replacement
The damaged panel comes out and a matching one goes in, with new hinges where the old ones bent.
Strut reinforcement
A steel strut fastened across a weakened section so it stops bowing as the door travels.
Hinge and bracket repair
Cracked hinges and pulled-out brackets replaced so the panels flex together again.
Impact damage check
After a car hit, we look at the tracks, rollers and cables too, since those often bend along with the panels.
Common kinds of panel damage
Dents and creases
A shallow dent is mostly cosmetic. A crease across the panel weakens it and can spread each time the door bends over the curve.
Crashed or buckled sections
Panels folded by a vehicle can't hold their shape. Those sections get replaced, or the door does.
Signs a panel needs work
Look the door over from outside and inside:
- A crease running across a sectionCreased steel loses strength and can fold further.
- A panel bowing in or outA section that won't stay flat can catch on the track.
- Cracks at the hingesThe hinge points take the stress every time the door rolls over the curve.
- Daylight between sectionsDamaged panels stop sealing against their neighbors.
- Rust or rot along the bottom panelWater sits along the bottom edge and breaks it down first.
Safety first. A buckled door can lock up halfway or drop if a hinge lets go. Disconnect the opener, leave the door where it is, and don't try to push a bent section back into the track.
