Is It Time To Replace Your Garage Door Hinges?

When you think of your garage doors, do the hinges come to your mind? I bet they did not. And don’t feel bad about it. Majority of garage door owners do not notice their hinges until such time that they encounter problems.

Garage door hinges play a big part in the operation of your doors because they connect the panels of garage doors. Most residential doors have four panels that are twenty one inches high. Garage door hinges connect these panels to allow them to move up and down. As the door raises and goes around the bend in the track, the garage door hinges hold the panels together.

Each garage door hinge is composed of two parts. Unfortunately, the metal used in making these garage door hinges is prone to rust and corrosion. Once its metal components start to corrode, hinges start to stick and make noise. What then should you do as a homeowner?

Squeaky garage door hinges can easily be solved through lubrication. Lubricating them with oil on a regular basis will keep them from making noise and sticking. However, while lubricating the garage door hinges fixes the problem most of the time, there will be times when the hinges need to be replaced altogether.

For instance, when your garage door hinges are already too rusty or too old, it may be beyond oiling. If your attempt in lubrication fails, then replacing the garage door hinges is the only option you are left with.

Lubrication and replacement are easy services. This is an easy job for any garage door service man in Lutz. Garage door hinges cost less than $5 each. In sum, an average of $50 service call plus parts would be the minimum price of a typical garage door hinge replacement.  

But if you want to replace the hinges on your own, just remember to replace the hinges one at a time. Never ever take all of the hinges off at the same time, or else, your garage door falls apart.

Remember these two things when dealing with squeaky hinges: lubrication and replacement. Whichever one you choose, always remember to hire the best man in Lutz for the job.
