Repair my door or replace it entirely: how do I decide?

A breakdown doesn't always mean the whole door needs replacing. Here's how to assess the situation.
In the vast majority of cases, a garage door problem is solved by replacing one or more parts, not by changing the whole door.

Signs that point to a repair: a broken spring, cable or roller on a door that's otherwise in good condition; a faulty motor but a sound panel and mechanism; a door that still works, even imperfectly.

The habit that helps: before concluding that a full replacement is needed, describe the problem to us precisely — many doors judged "to be replaced" can actually be repaired for a fraction of the price of a new door.
