 and should not be touched properly repaired without the proper knowledge and tools to make the repair. Also, trying to force the garage door closed or open may cause further damage to the garage door tracks and may also cause the door to fall to the floor. In most cases, you are better off to leave the door in whatever position it is in until it can be properly repaired.
The two bottom section of our garage door were damaged by a car bumping into the door. Can the two sections be replaced?
Yes, the two bottom sections can be replaced as long as the sections are still available (many older garage doors have sections that are no longer made, and it may be tough to find an exact match). However, in many cases, the cost of the two sections and the labor to replace them may be very close to the cost of a brand new replacement garage door that will have all new track, springs, and hardware included along with the door sections.
The cable on the garage door appears to be fraying. Should we be very concerned about this problem?
Your amount of concern should depend upon how much the cable is frayed, although the problem will only continue to get worse. If the cable is severely frayed to where there are only a few strands left that could break at any moment, the cable should be replaced by a qualified garage door service technician as soon as possible.

My door squeaks when it opens and closes.
Springs, rollers, and hinges can squeak and be noisy. It is caused by normal use and does not necessarily indicate a problem. Use a spray-on lubricant. If the noise persists, call a professional for service.
