Question 24

What is the black residue on my garage door?

Accepted Answer

It usually comes from the oil coating on the torsion springs above the door, and it is harmless. Washing the door once a year with mild soap and warm water takes it off.

Question 25

What causes rust spots on a garage door?

Accepted Answer

Road salt and ice melt splashed up from the driveway, or splatter from a driveway cleaner, are the usual causes. Wash the door with mild soap and warm water, more often in winter, and never use a pressure washer. If rust has eaten through the bottom of a steel door, see when a new door makes more sense.

Question 26

Can the bottom seal on my garage door be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most bottom seals can be replaced, and a new one keeps out cold air, water, leaves and pests. See our bottom seal and weatherstripping service.

Question 27

Why is the top section of my garage door cracked or bent?

Accepted Answer

Most of the time the cause is the opener setup, not the door itself: a missing or misplaced strut, an opener bracket in the wrong spot, the wrong opener angle, a close limit set so the opener pushes hard at the end, or weak springs that leave the opener doing the lifting. A door that hit something while closing can bend it too. We can replace the section and fix the cause. See panel replacement.

Question 28

Why does water get in through my garage door?

Accepted Answer

Garage doors are not fully watertight. The window seals, the joints between sections and the bottom seal keep out most wind-driven rain, but a door moves and flexes in strong wind, so a little water can get in during a hard storm. A worn bottom seal or a gap at the floor is the most common cause we fix.
