What causes damaged panels in garage doors?

Garage door panels can become damaged through several common causes: **Vehicle Impact:** The most common cause is accidentally backing into or hitting the door with a vehicle. Even a minor bump can cause dents or misalignment. **Weather Damage:** Severe weather, including hail, high winds, and flying debris during storms, can cause dents, cracks, or structural damage to panels. **Age and Wear:** Over time, panels can warp, crack, or deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, especially with older wooden doors or poorly maintained steel doors. **Failed Springs or Hardware:** When springs break or cables snap, the sudden imbalance can cause panels to bend, warp, or crack. **Attempted Break-ins:** Unfortunately, panels can be damaged during attempted burglaries. **Prevention Tips:** - Install parking guides in your garage - Perform regular maintenance inspections - Keep tracks and hardware properly lubricated - Address minor issues before they become major problems We can assess your damage and recommend either panel replacement or full door replacement depending on the extent of damage and your door's age.
