Question 2

What causes damaged panels in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Garage door panels can sustain damage from various sources. Understanding these causes can help you prevent future damage:  Impact Damage: The most common cause is accidental impact—backing a car into the door, kids hitting it with sports equipment, or heavy objects falling against it. Even minor impacts can cause dents or cracks that worsen over time.  Weather and Age: New England weather takes a toll on garage doors. Extreme temperature fluctuations cause materials to expand and contract, leading to warping and cracking. Learn more in our guide to [preparing your garage door for storm season](/blog/preparing-garage-door-storm-season).  Spring or Cable Failure: When springs or cables break, the door can drop suddenly or travel unevenly. This creates tremendous stress on individual panels, often causing them to bend, crack, or pop out of their tracks. Read about [roller and hardware maintenance](/blog/roller-replacement-complete-guide).  Poor Maintenance: Lack of [regular maintenance](/services#maintenance) allows small problems to become big ones. Worn rollers create uneven movement that stresses panels. Loose hardware causes vibration damage.  Prevention is always better than repair. [Schedule a maintenance tune-up](/contact) to catch problems before they become emergencies.
