How to repair sagging or cracked garage door panels.

How to repair sagging or cracked garage door panels in a quick and efficient way on your own.



Materials & cost:

I paid a total of $56.00 for the Steel Angle Rods, and $5.79 for a new hinge (tax included on both).
If your hinge is in good working condition still, you don't need to buy a new one. Please let me know what you think and if there is anything you'd recommend I do.

Tools:

A basic socket wrench set, pliers, screw gun, and a metal drill bit.

Let me know what you think in the comments, or don't. It's all good.

Note: this is a temporary solution to a mild issue, and that is why it works in my case. If your garage door has a more extreme issue, seek out an expert or a garage door specialist near you.

Update 11/17/2023: At the time I did this supplies were low everywhere and costs were super high, but as some of the other comments have mentioned, it's best to use a garage door Garage Door Reinforcement U-Bar Strut Support Brace and they also make garage Door Reinforcement Support Bar Brace Kits specifically for that purpose. Mine is holding up perfectly with the angle bars I installed over 3 years ago, but if your damage is worse than mine, you might want to consider a better option. Good luck, friends!

Update 6/14/2024: This temporary repair held up strong without any issues. We finally saved enough money to replace the entire garage door today. While my temp repair is still holding up, it is finally time to get a door without cracks on the panels. I hope the same for all of you.
