FAQs
When Should You Replace the Fasteners on Your Garage Door?
Anytime you repair something or replace a component on the garage door, you should also return the fasteners. It’s easy to think that they look to be in good condition, so you keep them. However, pins can show signs of wear and tear that only a trained eye can see.
You better use new fasteners each time. That way, there’s no issue with the nuts and bolts breaking or causing more strain to the system. Even if a customer requests that you leave the current fasteners, it’s not a good idea. Always explain to them that it’s dangerous and you feel more comfortable changing them. Remind them that you’re a professional, these parts don’t cost that much, and you want the family to stay safe.
