Garage doors consist of panels that are hinged together. If one panel is broken, it can be changed out. Replacing only one panel of the door is usually less expensive than changing out the entire door.
A damaged or bent garage door or panel often happens, not as a result of a flawed system, but due to an accident, such as an owner who fails to open the door before trying to back the vehicle out of the garage. If the damage isn’t fixed, it might not only damage other parts of the garage door, but it can reduce the safety and security of the house.
When is panel replacement appropriate?
When a garage door is in good shape, but one panel has been damaged without compromising the integrity of the door, a homeowner who is on a tight budget may want to have that single panel replaced, rather than replacing the whole door.
Can you replace more than one panel?
A homeowner can replace more than one panel, but it’s worthwhile to get a price on simply replacing the entire door if more than one panel needs replacement. The difference in price may be negligible.
Can I replace a garage door panel myself?
The things a homeowner needs to know when a panel needs to be replaced include the model of the door, the size of the panel, and its color. The optimal way to acquire this information is the look at the door’s serial number. Call the manufacturer and figure out how to get a replacement panel. Original panels can fade, so the color might not be the same. After receiving the replacement panel, a homeowner will need a professional to install it to make sure it works correctly. In addition to possible damage to the entire door for a single panel, it can also damage the springs. It's generally not a good DIY project because it’s dangerous. It’s always a better idea to get an expert.
