When to change
Hinges for garage doors should be serviced not more often than once a year. This is not the main part of the garage door that could cause damages. If you are faced with the problem of opening the gate or hearing uncharacteristic sounds when opening or closing, it may signal a breakdown. In this case, you can call our company, and we will guarantee you a quick trip to the place to fix the damage accurately.
The process of replacing
For garage doors, you can install the hinges with our help. There are a total of 3 ways to attach it to the gate:
- With the help of welding. This is the most reliable way. It is simply welded to the sash and frame. It is recommended to use reinforcement in the form of plates to increase the reliability of attachment.
- With the use of self-tapping screws for metal. If the sashes are made of thin metal, it is allowed to mount them on self-tapping screws for metal. Such self-tapping screws are equipped with drills, have hexagonal heads for easy screwing. In this case, the parts must have petals with holes drilled in them.
- With the use of self-tapping wood screws. Used exclusively in cases where the gate is wooden.
