Repairing a Garage Door:
Overhead garage doors, whether they roll up in locations or swing up in one piece, run spring tension.

On roll-up doors, examine the hinges that hold the locations of the door together; tighten up any loose screws, and change any damaged hinges. There are 2 significant parts to a garage door - the door itself and the opener. On roll-up doors, analyze the hinges that hold the areas of the door together; tighten up any loose screws, and alter any damaged hinges.
