Garage Door not Settling Correctly? (pixelfed.social)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/homeimprovement

When the garge door is closed it recently developed a kink as show. Is this a simple fix such as adjusting the brackets, or is it possibly something more structural to the door? Other side has no problems, if you aren't sure thanks for looking anyway!

Are the bolts on the inside all tight?

Sorry I took so long work took over for a little bit, but I finally found some time to check every bolt on the door and found one that was both a different size and loose! Tightening it solved the problem, thank you so much again :)

seemingly the hinge bracket on the inside of the door at that section is loose. Should be a couple of screws or bolts that need to be tightened.

it's also possible that the hinge is bent or worn out and needs to be replaced, which is pretty common also.

can you post a pic of the inside hinge bracket?
