When you first buy a garage door, its sleek look and smooth swinging typically give you a sense of satisfaction. However, most people don't think about the various problems that may occur in the future. Some of these problems could be springs becoming weak and some could be broken panels or tracks. One problem that often occurs is a broken panel which will require removal to replace it with another panel in order to keep your garage door running smoothly. With so many benefits, including no need for professional help, clear instructions on how to perform this task yourself should help you decide whether or not it’s worth replacing your old panel with something new.
What are the benefits of garage door panel replacement?
Even though you can do it yourself, most people choose to have the work performed by a professional if they want their garage doors to stay working properly and smoothly. A new panel could be as expensive as $250 or more if you purchase it from an authorized dealer, and it will require installation. However, many people like to follow the instructions that they can find online or in the instructions manual that came with their garage door opener. These instructions might suggest doing this job yourself rather than hiring someone else. The reason for this is because these instructions normally provide step by step instructions which may make even a novice feel comfortable completing the job on their own.
Here are the benefits of having garage door panel replacement and will better explain why these benefits may outweigh the cost:
A new garage door panel will not need to be oiled, greased or lubricated. As a result, it should not rust and the tracks won't go out of alignment. You will no longer have to worry about creaks and noises. There are some people who get a bad case of claustrophobia because they can't open their garage doors because they can’t hear them. The water seal will be replaced by a new panel, so you won’t have to worry about it leaking. The hardware will also be replaced so you can enjoy a smooth and effortless opening. You will not have to worry about outdoor elements causing your garage door to rust. Some people oil the door panel after they install a new one, but if rust is caused by oil they should know that the only proper way to do this is by removing the old panel before installing a new one. If this is not done properly, it may cause more damage than good, which could send your garage door off track again.
It is important to recognize that if a panel within the door breaks and you leave it, it may cause those panels surrounding it to become unbalanced. As a result, they will bind, get jammed and may break next. This is why people who want their garage door to last longer should replace their garage door panels at least once every five years. Of course this means replacing the track as well because if you don't, the panel will not fit properly. A new panel will be installed on either side and then the track replaced to ensure that your garage door is smooth and noiseless whenever someone opens or closes it.
