If the panels are cracked or sagging and repairs won’t hold alignment, it’s time for a new door — repeated hinge fixes won’t restore strength or safety.

Investing in a new door could be a better idea .. repairing would not be strong enough to hold or match the power of a new door

If your garage door’s hinges and panels are too beat up to fix well, just getting a whole new door might be easier and last longer than patching it up all the time.
Try getting a new door
It’s more easier and would last longer
yeah, i thought so before
If your garage door has multiple failing or fallin hinges, the right approach repair or full replacement depends on the severity, door condition, and cost factor.
Replacement would be a better option to save you from more future cost of repairs
If the door’s panels are cracked, sagging, or rotted and can’t hold hinges firmly even with through bolts, struts, and new hinges, repairs become short-lived and unsafe.
At that point, replacing the entire door is more cost-effective, restores structural integrity, and ensures smooth, safe operation.
A good replacement would be the best solution
