Garage Door Garage Door Hinge Repair Metairie, LA
Hinge and bracket replacement for sectional doors. Worn hinges cause clunks, panel sag, and roller binding — we replace with heavy-gauge steel and torque to manufacturer spec.
We run garage door hinge repair across Pontchartrain Gardens, Pontchartrain Shores, Lakeshore West and Lakeshore East and the wider Jefferson Parish area — quick turnaround when you call early, flat-rate always, and guaranteed for ten years.
Local climate is the quiet reason Metairie doors fail when they do. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year leads to intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
The repair board in Metairie fills up with the same culprits: rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Each is a one-visit fix with parts already on the truck.
Hinges connect adjacent door sections and let them articulate as the door rolls up. There are typically 3 hinges per joint between sections (left, center, right) and 4–5 joints on a standard door, totaling 12–15 hinges per door. Cracked or worn hinges cause clunks during travel, panel sag, roller stem twisting, and accelerated wear on adjacent components. Replacement is straightforward and often dramatically improves operation.
We carry hinges in standard residential gauge (#1 through #5 positions) and heavy-gauge for commercial or oversized doors. The position number determines hinge thickness — center hinges are thicker than edge hinges because they bear more load. We replace by exact position and gauge match, plus a few extras if visible wear exists at adjacent positions.
Hinge work usually pairs naturally with roller replacement (roller stems thread through the hinge knuckles, so doing both at once is more efficient than separate visits). If both rollers and hinges are due, the package price is typically 20–30% less than doing each separately.
Signs you need garage door hinge repair
Clunking sound during travel
Worn hinge knuckles or loose hinge pins clunk as the door articulates between flat and curved track. Replacement eliminates.
Hinges are stamped steel — visible cracks mean the hinge is failing structurally. Replace before complete failure.
Door panel sags between rollers
A failing hinge can no longer hold the panel rigid. Panel sag is the visible result.
Roller stem appears bent or twisted
Twisted roller stems usually indicate the hinge is allowing the roller to flex out of alignment. Replace both.
Gap between adjacent sections when closed
Worn hinge joints can't pull adjacent sections tight together. Gap is visible from inside the garage.
Common causes & what we fix
Metal fatigue
Stamped steel hinges flex slightly with every cycle. Tens of thousands of cycles fatigue the metal and crack initiates.
Under-spec hinge for door weight
Builder installs occasionally use lighter hinges than the door warrants. Higher-position hinges fail first.
Coastal corrosion
Uncoated hinges rust in salt air, weakening the metal. Galvanized hinges resist this far better.
Missing lubrication on the pin
Dry hinge pins gall and seize. Lubrication during annual service prevents.
Impact damage
Vehicle or equipment impact can crack the hinge directly. Often comes with associated panel and roller damage.

Frequently asked about garage door hinge repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Hinge Repair near me ask us:
Yes. Metairie lies within Jefferson Parish, in Louisiana, and we work the whole footprint: Metairie plus nearby Jefferson, Elmwood, River Ridge, and Harahan. Same licensed, insured crews and 10-year workmanship guarantee county-wide.
Metairie sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. We size springs and seals for Louisiana's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Quoted flat-rate by scope — a single hinge, a full hinge set, or bundled with roller replacement. Confirmed in writing first.
5-year coverage on replacement hinges. 10-year workmanship on the install.
Single hinge: 15–20 minutes. Full hinge set (12–15 hinges): 90–120 minutes. Add 30 minutes if also doing rollers.
If multiple show wear, yes. Hinges at the same position on a single door wear at the same rate, so once one fails the others are close behind.
