This is exactly the video I needed. Thank you! My wife now thinks I am the smartest man alive. You’re a lifesaver brother.

I just used this method to fix my sagging garage door panel with the Lowes 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 8 foot Zinc-Plated Steel Perforated-Slotted Angle and it worked perfect. $29.79 each (20) with military discount. I did have to drill one hole in one end since the holes did not match the hinge holes. Otherwise a one hour job and easy. Thanks for the video.

Perfectly what I needed to see to help hubby make a repair on his brand new 😞
We are DIY'ers and you know how it can go but tomorrow we shall get that taken care of!
Thanks for the what we needed!!!!

"A little friendly pressure"
Proceeds to bang on it.
I should use friendly pressure in more situations than just the garage hahaha

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you very much. Your video beats calling for a garage door repair guy who would have cost me $1500. Thank you so very much!

Great video! My 12' door decided to do this last night, except bending the reinforcement bar at the top like the big doors have. The attachment point where the opener connects to the door started coming loose causing the chain reaction. ANYWAY, your video inspired me to stop at True Value and get the angle iron, bolts, etc. on my way home from work. Worked like a charm!! I think it's sturdier than it was before! Thanks for taking the time to do the video!

MAN why didn't I search for this video when making my garage door repairs would have saved me a lot of brain work Agghhh - thank you for posting

This is exactly what has happened to my garage door. Had no clue how to fix the thing. New door costs right at $1000 with all hardware...couldn't buy just one panel. That was a pick it up and DIY deal....2 different stores.
Went to Craigslist and found 2 doors, all hardware, and 1 opener with remote for $250. Yes, I bought it.
Now I need to look at a few how to install a garage door to try to get this thing done correctly so it's not one big catastrophe waiting to happen again. What a mess. Thanks for all the help on this video and folks commenting. Jesus bless.

Excellent video! I have a similar issue. My door is not "as buckled" but I will repair it in the morning. Your video reinforced my resolve. Thanks.

Dude, that is AWESOME! this happened to the two middle areas...yes, I'm a chick...I'm going to see if I can do something like this...wish me luck!

This is a very helpful video and explains a lot about the actual garage door as well. Great fix - nice work and this is exactly what I needed. Starting my project soon to fix mine.

Excellent video, your innovative thinking saved you hundreds of dollars by purchasing the correct hardware to fix this problem for less than $50.00. A repairman would have cost you a small fortune. Also, Thank you for your service to our country.

I’m so glad I seen this video mines is similar to yours. But I went and purchased a door but I’m taking it back after watching this. Thank you so much

[garrettgiuffre]

That is a much nicer quality garage door then what I have lol very nice henge set you have 😂 great video you are responsible for saving me several hundred if not thousand or so dollars. Lucky I was able to get the support from old steel garage shelving I had so nearly free 🎉

[unfrozen]

Worked like a freakin’ charm on mine. Had the same exact problem. Thanks!!!

[Triplesevn]

I felt like I was watching the Bob Ross of Garage Door repairs. “Just add some friendly pressure and move it back”. 🤣 but exactly the video I needed. Thx
Update: my Ace wants $45 US for the 8’. I went with the 6’ for the top. Ill buy the 8’ from my Lowes or Home Depot for the reinforcement bracket in the middle
