Two years ago a family member pulled into the garage door. Took me a whole day to straighten the tracks, replace the rollers and somewhat fix the actual door.

Today.... another member hit the same door. Knocked the bottom of the door off the track. I can probably straighten the tracks again but the door will probably need to be replaced.

The door is a thermocore door. 80"h x 96" wide. By thermocore I mean the door has a front and back made of aluminum with a foam layer in between.

Can I just buy a replacement type door the same dimension ?
Do they come with the hinges attached ?
Any recommendations...... depot.... lowes....mfg. ?

 

i'm not a garage door expert but I have done a dozen or so. If you can find the original supplier (usually a sticker on the side of the door) you can order a replacement panel or two as needed.

But if it's old enough that it can't be matched, yes, you can get an entire replacement door that is the same size and thickness. I would suggest the overhead door company, or a local wholesale door company... There is usually one or more in every major city... if you can get one through your business account that would be your best bet.

Home depot handles Clopay, a good quality door. Watch the thickness (and R value) on whatever door you look at, because they vary in quality and price. If, for example your door is 2", don't price a replacement door that is thinner unless you want to go backward in quality.

Doors will typically come with everything you need to replace the door... This is usually best in the event that the weight of the door is different. But you can also usually order a door minus the springs and track if you are sure you don't need any of that.

Thanks for the info.

 

If you do decide to replace, I recommend the Cloplay door. You can get them through home depot and they have a good R value selection, if you want to do it your self. Your door is 6'6"x8' which is lower than the standard, so Is the track Low Headroom track? I recommend replacing the track because doors cand be different thickness and it can cause issues. No doors do not come with the hardware installed, Wayne Dalton tried it once but it never caught on. Link to build your own door

 

I was checking out that link. Thanks.

I was able to repair the door and track..... again. It's not as pretty as it should be but it's solid and sealed. I'll be shopping for a new one. I could probably install it myself but I think I'll have it installed. Not really my forte.

Thanks again for the replies.

 

I've been looking into this. I found a sticker for Wayne Dalton on it. No model number.
I found a sticker on each door section. 239053 and 239102 on the bottom two sections I'd like to replace. Do those numbers mean anything ?

 

Wayne Dalton is sold at Lowes. That's about all I know.
