Yes, garage door panels can be replaced from older models, but there are a few things that must first be taken into consideration. At Ranger Garage Door Repair, we will need to ascertain your garage door’s age and condition, and whether or not replacement panels for your type of door are available. If your door is basically in good condition, with matching replacement panels available, you can save money by replacing individual panels. However, if the door has extensive damage or older hardware, a complete replacement may be a better investment in the long run for reliability and safety.
Factors to Consider for Replacing Garage Door Panels
1. Age and Condition
For very old doors, the wear may be on the tracks, springs, or hardware, and so replacing the panels may not be practical. Here at Ranger Garage Door Repair, we will check your entire system in order to ensure the door will be able to work correctly with a new panel.
2. Panel Availability
Finding an interest in the correct panel for those older doors may be rather tricky since it may already be out of production with the manufacturer. A new panel, even if fitted well, may look just a little different from others. Our team at Ranger Garage Door Repair helps find the closest match to keep the look seamless.
3. Cost Considerations
While panel replacement might appear cost-effective, consider the door’s overall condition. If most panels are damaged, or the hardware is very old, it could be wiser to invest in a new door to save you even more money eventually.
Steps for Replacement of Panels at Ranger Garage Door Repair
1. Assessment and Measurement
Technicians from Ranger Garage Door Repair will analyze the damage type and measure the panels with precision to get the best fit.
2. Locating the Correct Panel
We source matching panels for your door-steel, wood, or aluminum-from trusted suppliers.
3. Panel Removal and Installation The damaged panel is carefully removed, a new panel installed, and alignment with rebalancing of the door is done. When to Consider Full Door Replacement Although replacing a panel might sound quite attractive, there are some instances where a full garage door replacement may be warranted:
• Extensive Damage: Replacing an entire door will be better, especially depending on the number of affected or badly worn panels.
• Outdated Technology: Indeed, old doors do not bear modern safety features that force people into changing for improved security.
• Aesthetic Upgrades: Besides being functional, a new garage door will add great curb appeal and energy efficiency to your house.
Here at Ranger Garage Door Repair, we’re ready to help you decide what will work best for your house. It could be anything between a simple panel replacement and installation of a full garage door, and we are here to guide and help in the process.
