REPLACING DAMAGED GARAGE DOOR PANEL WITH HOMEMADE WINDING BARS

In this video I demonstrate how easy it is to replace a damaged garage door panel. You just need a few simple tools and make sure to follow all the necessary safety precautions. I also demonstrate how to easily make your own winding bars. If you drove into your garage door or dented it with your snowblower, this is the video for you!

Hello Mike, could you let me know where can I buy the one piece of garage door panel for 16’ in Canada?

[@mikebikercanada]

Hi Peter, I’m in Ottawa and went to The Door Company located in Metcalfe, Ontario. Great place. They supply most of eastern Ontario.

If you are replacing just the top two panels it's not necessary to mess with the tension since the cable isn't attached to those, correct? Just use channel locks and lock the door do it won't move up once the 2 upper panels are removed.

[@mikebikercanada]

I’m not sure. Never removed just the top two before. I think removing the tension is always the safest way to work. But that could be an option, I would just check online to make sure it’s a recommended method.

[@aschoenfeld577]

I see u having a open in wrench in your hand while starting to lift the bar to release the tension but u said nothing bout loosening and of the bolts it looked like u didn’t loosen any bolts on the torsion spring 😊

[@SheilaSpencer1]

At 11:52, what is the wrench for??? Never saw you use it.

[@mikebikercanada]

lol sorry to confuse you with that!
I actually borrowed that video clip talking about safety from my other garage door video where I demonstrate how to add tension on the torsion spring. With that procedure, you do need a wrench to loosen the fasteners on the torsion spring.
But for replacing a garage door panel, disregard that wrench. It is not needed at all
You are very observant, I like that!

[@SheilaSpencer1]

@@mikebikercanada thanks for clarifying that!

[@sharit7970]

14:04 'I've got somebody on the outside...you can see those legs..'
...aaaand this is why this was her last video with you... jk!
Seriously, thanks for posting, I think this task is in my forseeable future!

[@mikebikercanada]

🤣🤣🤣
So glad you found it helpful!!!

[@aschoenfeld577]

My door has 2 torsion springs so will I just do the same thing

[@mikebikercanada]

Yes I would imagine you’d just repeat the steps for both springs 👍
