Question 2

What causes damaged panels in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Garage door panels can become damaged through various circumstances, and understanding the common causes can help you prevent future issues.  Impact damage is the most frequent cause we encounter. This includes accidentally backing a vehicle into the door, children's sports equipment striking the panels, or debris blown by storms. Even minor impacts can cause dents that worsen over time as the door's movement puts stress on the weakened area.  Weather-related damage is particularly common in North Carolina. Extreme temperature fluctuations cause metal panels to expand and contract, which can lead to warping over time. Humidity also plays a role—wooden doors absorb moisture and can swell, crack, or develop rot. Severe storms bring additional risks from hail, falling tree limbs, and wind-borne debris.  Age and wear naturally affect garage door panels. Over decades of use, the constant cycle of opening and closing creates stress at panel joints and around hardware mounting points. Paint and protective coatings break down, leaving panels vulnerable to rust and corrosion.  Improper installation or maintenance can accelerate panel deterioration. Doors installed without proper alignment place uneven stress on panels. Lack of regular lubrication causes excess friction and vibration. Failing springs force the door opener to work harder, transmitting more stress through the entire door structure.  Foundation shifts and structural settling sometimes cause garage door frames to become slightly misaligned. When this happens, the door binds against the frame during operation, gradually damaging both the panels and the tracks.  To minimize panel damage, we recommend regular maintenance inspections, keeping the area around your garage door clear of obstacles, and addressing any operational issues promptly before they cause secondary damage.
