Question
Is it better to fix or swap an old garage door?
When the panels, rails and frame are still in good order, repair makes sense, because most worn parts, from springs and cables to seals and openers, can be swapped. If panels are dented, the door is twisted or the same faults keep returning, a new door may be wiser. We inspect it, say which route we would choose and explain why.
