Perfectly what I needed to see to help hubby make a repair on his brand new install..... 😞
We are DIY'ers and you know how it can go but tomorrow we shall get that taken care of!
Thanks for the video.........exactly what we needed!!!!
I just used this method to fix my sagging garage door panel with the Lowes 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 8 foot Zinc-Plated Steel Perforated-Slotted Angle and it worked perfect. $29.79 each (20) with military discount. I did have to drill one hole in one end since the holes did not match the hinge holes. Otherwise a one hour job and easy. Thanks for the video.
Very cool, awesome job John. Sounds like it’s stronger now than what it was brand new. 😀👍
Hey do you remember what Guage the plate was? It looks like there are different thicknesses at home depot.

What a difference 6 months makes, they are $44 now.
in the spirit of price update. right now my local home depot has them at a discount (4.50 off) for 40.47

*SLAM!!*
Thanks for watching. 👍
Good job bro!!! Needed this!!!
Wow this is some good work to be honest. Very handy
I did something similar a few years ago. My double door was developing a stress crack at the center where the traveler pulls on it. My repair was more preventative. I bought a length of angle iron (less than yours)a few steel plates and similarly applied series of bolts and nuts. It added easily a dozen times the strength to that area.
Thanks for sharing this & that’s definitely a bonus in terms of strength. It’s holding up well correct?

Thank you very much! This worked like a charm for me. I successfully fixed 2 garage doors with similar problems as you described.

This is exactly what has happened to my garage door. Had no clue how to fix the thing. New door costs right at $1000 with all hardware...couldn't buy just one panel. That was a pick it up and DIY deal....2 different stores.
Went to Craigslist and found 2 doors, all hardware, and 1 opener with remote for $250. Yes, I bought it.
Now I need to look at a few how to install a garage door to try to get this thing done correctly so it's not one big catastrophe waiting to happen again. What a mess. Thanks for all the help on this video and folks commenting. Jesus bless.

As we see at the end of the video, the door slams to a stop as the lifter comes to the top of its travel. This flexes the door and probably damaged the top of the door through continual flexing--as the door slams to a stop. Just like bending a copper wire back and forth causes it to split, the door with continued flexing as it slams at the top caused the metal at the top center of the door to fail. The Lifter has upper and lower limit adjustments in the power unit. The upper limit needs to be set to stop the door as it rises so that it doesn't slam at its upper limit! This failure of the door likely could have been avoided with a proper adjustment of the power unit! Watch the end of the video carefully to see the flexing of the door, and note the noise, at the end of the lifter's travel.
I don't see that happening
@@RuJoe720definitely happens, have been doing garage doors for 8 years. Before attaching a opener you need to put a strut across the top section. The pulling and pushing of the opener will bend a door like this in half. That bend in the section that he says “caused the problem” is actually a whole different problem caused from the opener. There are a lot of things wrong with the install on this door that caused that opener to rip apart the door.
That’s exactly what happened to me. It buckled the top panel so hard
Good video thanks! I have a similar problem. My question is what caused the door to buckle in the first place? If I fix it, wont the problem just return?

Good morning Jose, we appreciate that. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club.
Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Great video!!! I have the same situation but what caused the problem??? Why did the door start bending like that??
You have an operator? If so it’s probably not installed correctly or there’s something messed up either with operator itself or where it connects to the door… or the limits (what tells the operator to stop when it’s closed or open) are off
Good job wtg.👍
Hi there, thank you. Let us know if you have any questions.
Any thoughts as to what caused it to hang up?(1:30 in video) My door hits the center carrier bearing on the way down and then stops 6-8 inches from floor and opens till the trolley slams into the opener. If I disconnect and operate by hand it smooth and doesn't hit anywhere
Good solution and video, but pointing out you must've repeated your cliffhanger 36 times in the first 3 mins. LOL.
This is a great example of what we can do to fix our garage doors. I have exactly the same problem, but the only 8' perforated angle iron I could find locally at Home Depot is $47. Maybe it is too heavy too. Did you have to adjust the tension of the spring? I am going to continue looking around for less expensive angle iron bars. Thanks!
We really appreciate you sharing this, thanks for watching. We did not need to make any adjustments.
It has worked great since & we recommend the cross bar method. Keep us posted on your project, us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!

Perfect fix for this issue! Angle iron doubled in price ha
Thanks for watching. 👍
With a 16 ft door would this work with 2 8ft meeting in the middle or would I need a full 16 ft piece of angle iron? I could only find a 8ft piece at home depot, I tried with 1 8ft piece coming across the middle with no success
Thanks for watching & using two & connecting in the middle is definitely an option. That’s what most people do.
😎👍
What type of screws would you recommend for drilling into the fiberglass garage door?
Thanks for watching, we recommend stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers. As far as size, that will depend on your exact setup.
However 3/4” bolts usually do the trick. If interested in purchasing this product, visit our Amazon affiliate link below. I earn from qualifying purchases.

This video is pretty good
Thank you, we are honored you think so. ☕️
So by adding that angle iron across the top, that was enought to bend back/ straighten out the bend in the op of the actual garage door?
Thanks for watching, we spent a few minutes and carefully bent panels back into alignment without damaging anything else.
From there, we added the crossbar sections to enhance the strength of store. Hope this helps.
One thing to really be mindful of when working either these things, garage doors are a PINCH AND CRUSH HAZARD. I had two bent panels, and, yesterday, trying to pop them back into place, got my hand caught between the panels. The spring loaded tension made it impossible to pull my hand out and I had to use a pry bar to open it back up. Luckily I still have my hand, but even if you’re not working with the springs, garage doors are still dangerous.
One thing I’d like to try before reinforcing the panel is bending it back into shape. I was thinking of taking off the bent panels, sandwiching it between two pieces of 1/2 inch plywood and rolling a heavy weight on them.
Do y’all think this would work?
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
We appreciate you sharing your experience, hopefully your hand is ok. That sounds like it would hurt.
It’s definitely an option to reshape panels back to original to your best ability using your method. Please keep us posted Jeremy.

I know I'm late but just running into this problem mines a little worse but more or less the same thing so my question is do you think I need a whole new panel or can I use something to pop it back out
Good morning, just poured our morning coffee and we are sitting down to answer any and all questions from the DIY community.
You can definitely entertain that option. A few friendly reconstruction movements of door panel may be all you need to get the door realigned to a point where it can operate properly and efficiently. Most important thing is to work carefully as you bend panel back into place. The last thing you want to do is damage something else in the process. Keep us posted Jay.

So mine is like this all the way down and ripped apart in other places really bad way worse than this i’ve had to fully brace my garage door with thin aluminum behind where this is torn apart. My garage door is 16 foot wide and I’ve had to race it on every single panel basically sandwiching it and then I got slotted angle iron and braced the entire garage door from left to right doubling up on everything. It was quite expensive to do over $1000. Cheaper than buying a brand new garage door though because that’s what I was told by multiple companies it would not be able to be fixed because mine was buckling from the top to the bottom if I open the garage door, it would cave-in. But I was able to do this cheaper than having a new one and having it installed. It took me two years to complete because of how much it cost and the availability of the materials that I needed garage doors are made so cheap and not very structurally sound. I completely over engineered mine. I had to go this direction because with how I work I could not have a new garage door delivered at my house because I would just do the work myself somebody would probably steal it from my house. I had the ability to have it shipped to Home Depot but it was a six month wait time.
Good morning ☕️ sounds like you have been busy getting your garage door back reconfigured for operation.
Awesome job making it a DIY project, and you are spot on…new garage door unit installs are very expensive.

My garage door is 9 feet wide.. the sloyted angle they sell is up to 8 feet only. Wud it be dnough if it diesnt reach the ends?
Thanks for watching & you may be able to overlap two braces. Please keep us posted.
Sorry to bother you, I'm gonna fix my door tomorrow and I have exactly the same door as your. My questions to you are, did you use angle 3/4" x 3/4" or is it 1"x1"? and if I were to use solid aluminum angle (and punched holes in it) instead of perforated -slotted angle, would it be stronger? Also are mending braces really needed. Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks for watching, if we remember correctly…🤔…it’s the 1”.
How’s your project going?
@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you for replying. I'm going to go with the 1" also. I put a hault on the project to see how much it would cost for me to find a panel. But if that is too expensive, I will definitely go with your idea. If i do, I'll give you an update. Thanks again for the help.

ocd.....your emergency pull is upside down ...no big deal ...but can be a cutting surface for your fingers ...if this is pulled from open position with broke spring ....j/s
to prevent this make sure your opener has clearance between top panel and rail (in position all way up) no more than 2"

Nice work. All trolly operators are supposed to come with a factory strut.
We appreciate that, thank you. Looking forward to 2024, many more helpful videos to come. 👍🧰
There should have been a u-bar or strut across the top panel. The reason your center metal snapped was because something jammed on the way down or up. Also the opener arm is set way too high. It should have been set towards the center of the panel.
These are called pan doors, this is a common issue.
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It definitely needed some attention.

How did this bend happen? a similar one happened to ours and we can’t figure out how or why
Thanks for watching and sharing this. We are hanging out watching college football all day answering any and all questions for the DIY community.
A few things can cause this.
1. Unit not initially installed properly
2. Door recently painted and then dried in the closed position…which causes massive strain on unit as it attempts to open door when weather strips are dried to frame.
3. Loose chain
4. Unit not lubricated on a yearly bases.

😎👍
every time he says "in addition," we drink
Thanks for watching. 😁👍
The main problem with that door is that it did not have a single horizontal strut. That is what caused it to buckle and why it caused the J arm to pull away from its mounting. Each panel should have its own strut, preferably as near as possible where one panel meets the next panel.
Thanks for watching & sharing, not sure how lithe installers missed that.
😎👍
Each panel does not need its own strut unless you live in a wind-coded area or it's an especially heavy door. But in this situation with an 8-foot non-insulated door that perf angle should work just fine for a while although I still prefer a strut because it's more secure. You are correct about the top panel needing a strut though. Whenever you have an operator you are supposed to have some form of reinforcement for that top panel.
Somewhere down the road, depending on the usage of that door, the top panel at least will need to be replaced though. Especially with that center stile having detached as well as having a stress crack alongside the top of the panel. Very much a temporary fix.
(Edit): spelling
I am having a problem with a buckling garage door nowhere as near bad as the one depicted in this vid everything is intact but I can see a slight bend on the top panel and a rod. All of which look like they can be straightened out. Sent pics to a garage door guy and was told the panel may be bad. I dont think so the door is about 11 months old with a very slight bend. Wish I could find an honest garage guy in N E Ohio.
Thanks for watching Roberto, we definitely understand. Finding reliable and trustworthy help is unfortunately tough…it shouldn’t be like that but it seems like that’s the way it is.
