  • Take a good look at any denting, warping, scratching or other damage to your garage door. If these signs of wear and tear are minimal and purely surface issues, you can probably keep the door for at least a little longer.
  • If there are bad dents or deep scratches, you should definitely consider a garage door replacement.
  • If the door stops either on one side or straight across, or if it runs slowly, replacing some parts usually makes things right. Don’t forget to consider resetting the switch on the motor casing assembly.
  • If the garage door hits the floor and reverses to open again, or it reverses before even hitting the floor, it might be a closing limit adjustment issue.
  • As your garage door gets older, the springs wear out. The result is irregular opening and closing.
