Damaged sections
How much damage an Ebro door can take and still be repaired
A sectional garage door is four or more horizontal panels hinged together, with rollers at each hinge line. As the door opens, each section tips over the curve at the top of the track. That movement is why damage to one section can stop the whole door, and also why one section can be dealt with apart from the others.
Cosmetic damage
A dent in the face of a section that does not touch the edges, the hinges or the rollers leaves the door working. It can be pressed out where the metal allows, or left alone.
A buckled section
A section folded or bowed across its width will not tip over the track curve. The door stalls, twists or reverses at the same point every time. That section is replaced or, if the bend is mild, straightened and braced.
Cracks at hinges and struts
Metal can split around the screws that hold a hinge or a reinforcing strut. The hinge loses its grip, and the section flexes more each time the door moves. The section is reinforced or replaced.
A matching section
Replacing one section depends on a matching section still being made for that door. When there is no match, the door can stay as it is or be replaced as a whole.
Other section damage
Wear on a section that is not a dent
Sections also fail slowly, without a single hit, and the same repair or replace line applies.
Rust along the bottom edge
The bottom edge of a steel door sits closest to water on the floor. When the rust is through the metal, the bottom section is replaced.
Loose end caps
The steel caps on the ends of each section hold the hinges and roller brackets. A split or loose cap lets a roller wander, and it is refastened or the section replaced.
Off track
A door that has come out of its track
Each side of the door rides in a steel track on a row of rollers. When one or more rollers leave the track, the door jams, hangs at an angle, or leans in toward the garage. A hard knock to the door, a bent track or a broken cable can all push a roller out.
Rollers out, track straight
The rollers are guided back into the track, the door is set level, and any rollers that are cracked or worn are replaced.
A bent track section
A track bent inward or outward pinches or releases the rollers at that spot. It is straightened if the bend is mild, or replaced.
Loose track brackets
Brackets that hold the track to the wall can work loose, and the track moves away from the door. They are refastened so the track holds its line.
A cable or spring behind it
If a cable snapped or a spring broke and let the door drop, that part is replaced along with putting the door back on track.
What to do until the door is back on track
Do not run the opener or try to force the door up or down. A door out of its track is only partly supported, and moving it can bend more track or pull the door out further. If a car is inside, say so when you call.
If the door jammed while open, leave it open and keep everyone out from under it. If it jammed closed, unplug the opener so nobody presses the button by habit.
Telling us about an Ebro door
Say which sections are damaged, counting from the bottom, and whether the door opens and closes, stops partway, or will not move. If the door is off its track, say which side and whether you can see a loose cable. The size of the door, single or double, also helps, and so does knowing whether the sections are steel or wood and whether the door has an opener.
