Local matters for garage door hinge repair. In Gretna and neighboring Chatham, Hurt, Altavista, and Penhook, the failures we address most are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Gretna, VA is shaped by a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. We've learned which parts last in Virginia's humid subtropical region, because summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Gretna, the repairs that come up most are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
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.
Worn hinge knuckles or loose hinge pins clunk as the door articulates between flat and curved track. Replacement eliminates.
Visible crack in hinge
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:
Gretna sits in a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That is hard on a door — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We size springs and seals for Virginia's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Census data puts 69% of Gretna homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1966) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
5-year coverage on replacement hinges. 10-year workmanship on the install.
When the original was under-sized or the door is heavier than spec — yes. Heavy-gauge hinges add modest cost and meaningful longevity.
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.
Single hinge: 15–20 minutes. Full hinge set (12–15 hinges): 90–120 minutes. Add 30 minutes if also doing rollers.
