Replace cracked, bent or worn hinges with correctly sized, matched hinges that hold the sections together.
Hinges hold the sections of a garage door together and let the door bend around the curve of the track. They are numbered by position and gauge, and each one carries a different load. A cracked or bent hinge can let a section sag, bind or tear away from the next. Homeowners in Nashville call us when a section looks crooked or the door makes a clunking sound.
We identify the hinge numbers and gauge for each location, since end hinges and center hinges are different. We replace damaged hinges and any that are worn, and we tighten the hardware on the rest. We check the sections for cracks around the hinge mounting points and add reinforcement if needed. After the swap, we test the door for smooth movement and check balance and rollers. Do not ignore a hinge that looks bent or a section that has started to pull away. A small repair now often avoids replacing a whole section later. We can inspect all of the hinges during one visit and give you a clear list of what needs attention.
Hinges are numbered by location on the door, and the wrong one can cause binding or failure.
Heavier doors need heavier hinges. We match the gauge to the weight and height of the door.
Cracked panels around a hinge need reinforcement, or the new hinge will not hold.
Replacing all hinges of a worn set keeps the door aligned and quiet.
