What causes damaged panels in garage doors?

Garage door panels can become damaged for many reasons, and understanding these causes can help you prevent future problems. Here are the most common causes we see at Webster Garage Doors: **Vehicle Impact**: This is the #1 cause of panel damage. Whether it's backing out too quickly, misjudging the clearance, or a new driver learning the ropes, vehicle impacts account for about 60% of the panel repairs we perform. **Weather Damage**: Rochester's harsh winters take a toll on garage doors. Ice buildup, heavy snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycles can warp, crack, or dent panels. High winds can also cause debris impact. **Age and Wear**: Over time, panels naturally deteriorate. Steel panels may develop rust, wood panels can rot or warp, and fiberglass may crack from UV exposure. Regular maintenance helps extend panel life. **Spring Failure Impact**: When a garage door spring breaks, the door can slam down with tremendous force, damaging the bottom panels. This is why we always recommend replacing springs before they fail. **Improper Installation**: Doors that weren't properly installed may have panels that don't sit correctly, leading to uneven wear and eventual damage. **Kids and Sports**: Basketballs, baseballs, hockey pucks, and other sports equipment frequently cause dents, especially in aluminum panels. **Prevention Tips**: - Install garage door sensors and backup cameras - Keep the door well-maintained and lubricated - Replace worn springs before they break - Consider impact-resistant panels if damage is frequent If you're dealing with damaged panels, give us a call at (585) 669-3780. We'll assess the damage and provide honest recommendations for repair or replacement.
