Local climate is the quiet reason Argo doors fail when they do. A humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity leads to summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
The repair board in Argo fills up with the same culprits: storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. Each is a one-visit fix with parts already on the truck.
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.
Signs you need garage door hinge repair
Clunking sound during travel
Worn hinge knuckles or loose hinge pins clunk as the door articulates between flat and curved track. Replacement eliminates.
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:
Argo sits in a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That is hard on a door — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We size springs and seals for Alabama's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
