What to do if you damage your garage door

The Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Garage Door Company

Dented or destroyed your garage doors? We’re here for you! Chatsworth Garage Doors are the garage doors experts for Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire.

If you drive into your garage door – and let’s face it, it does happen – it’s best to call an expert to assess the damage and to advise on whether to repair or replace. 

First though, make sure everyone’s uninjured. Even the smallest of collisions can cause injury to passengers, so before jumping out to look at the garage door and your precious car’s bumper, ensure that all humans and pets are ok.

Now, inspect the garage door panel, its chassis and the tracks. It’s entirely likely that you’re going to need to purchase a new panel if the door is badly dented. Then, before you attempt to open or close the door, take a good look at the door’s track, to see if it’s deformed or cracked.

Next examine the tracks and brackets which connect the door to the opener, if indeed your garage door has an opener. In all probability, the opener won’t be damaged, but it’s sensible to examine it just to be on the safe side. We’ve repaired and replaced a great number of garage doors throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire, and it’s only occasionally that we find the opener needs to be replaced.

After your visual inspection, if you have a remote control opener, do the following. Stand well back from the door and press the control switch to test whether the door stays open. If it will run up properly, close the door. If the opener makes any unusual noises and the door components aren’t doing their job as they should, disconnect the opener. If you don’t have an opener, or if your opener is not working, try carefully and slowly opening and closing the garage door manually. Don’t attempt to raise or lower the door if it’s off its tracks.

When you’ve followed the above steps, it’s time to bring the professionals in. We may be able to repair the damage and if the door’s a write-off, we’ll furnish you with a very competitive quote for a new one.
