What Causes Garage Door Panels To Break?
Broken garage door panels are a common issue affecting residential and commercial garages. Even if you have a brand new garage door, there are numerous ways the panels may experience damage.
Garage door panels experience regular wear, leading to dents that worsen over time. These panels are especially vulnerable to harsh weather conditions — regular exposure to snow, wind and rain can lead to cracks. A vehicle collision can also damage garage panels. Whether you accidentally reversed into your garage or lost control of your vehicle due to winter weather, even a relatively light impact can dent or break the panel.
A malfunctioning garage opener or other garage door component can also cause the door to fall suddenly, damaging multiple panels.
Benefits of Having Your Garage Door Panels Repaired
You should consider repairing your damaged garage door panels for several reasons. Repairing panels:
- Is cost-effective: Repairing broken garage door panels or replacing individual sections is often more cost-effective than purchasing an entirely new door.
- Prevents damage: A broken door panel leads to more wear and tear on your springs, cables, bearings and other essential components. Damaged panels may also lead to misaligned tracks that stop the door from opening or closing correctly. Repairing a broken door panel prevents further damage to your garage door system.
- Improves security: Broken door panels make your garage more vulnerable to break-ins. Repairing the damaged sections secures your garage and its contents.
- Enhances the visual appeal: Well-maintained garage door panels improve the curb appeal of your home or business and can increase its overall value.
- Expands the garage lifespan: Repairing broken panels to prevent further damage will extend the lifespan of your garage and its components.
When To Consider Replacing Your Garage Door Panels Instead of Repairing Them
If the damage is minimal and your garage door is less than 10 years old, repairing your garage door panels may be the best option. Minor damages include small dents and scratches that only affect the outer panel. If the damage is extensive, replacing the door may be more cost-effective than repairs. Extensive damage can include multiple dents on a single panel, severe cracks and holes. You should also consider replacing your entire garage door if it’s over 10 years old.
Remember that the design and measurements of your garage door system match the size and weight of your garage door. If you want to repair or replace one or more panels, you should hire a professional technician to maintain the garage’s structural integrity.
