Warped garage doors are not the best thing to look at. Especially each day when pulling into the driveway of your lovely home. The warping interferes with how the door operates and when left unattended, will lead to an expensive repair.
Warping that develops across the surface of the garage will give it a bowed look. You’ll notice right away if you’ve got a warped garage. Bending garage doors don’t look like they should normally. Your opener will also grunt and strain as it tries to fit the bent door into the garage.
Causes of Warped Garage Doors
Wooden garage doors weaken over time with temperature changes that are drastic. Modern garage doors made of steel warp but not as often. Warped steel garage doors should have the opener checked to make sure it’s able to handle the weight of the door.
Repairing A Warped Garage Door
If there’s only a couple of bowing panels replace those panels instead of installing a new door for a less expensive option compared to a new replacement. Is your opener having problems opening and closing? Many times openers fail on doors that are entirely warped because of the added power need to open and close. To prevent warping in the future consider a steel door with a faux wood finish.
