Any way to correct garage door sagging/bowing
I have a single 7' x 16' sectional garage door (steel). problem: There's a crack at the top-most hinge/lip at the backside (the side facing the inside of the garage) of the bottom-most section of the garage door. That's what causing the sag (I suspect someone back into it with the car a while back) The bottom-most section is sagging (it bows) when the door is raised to its top-most position. For those handyman out there, are there any solutions that I can attach to the lip/hinge of the bottom-most section that will strengthen it so it doesn't bow when the door is raised? There's always the replace the door option/replace the bottom most section, but if there's a cheaper option ... |

I'm not sure I'm picturing your situation cleary, but can you bolt a length of angle iron or something similiar to the weak section? Drill through the door and angle iron and place a few bolts, washers and nuts strategically along the area that bows. |
