One panel, when the rest of the leaf is sound.

About this work

Panel replacement is for a section with the skin gone, rusted through, or split, when the other sections are still straight. Height, hinge hand, and a match to what remains are confirmed at the opening. Color is matched there, not from a photo of a neighbor.

How this differs from a crease

A dent that has not opened the skin can be the section-repair visit. A panel you can see daylight through, or a bottom section that has crumbled at the fixture, is this order. Say which you are looking at.

What has to match

Section height, the hinge pattern, and the thickness. A panel that is close is not close enough. The wrong height changes every hinge above it.

When the whole leaf is the real conversation

Rust in several sections, or a twist through the whole door, is the replacement page. Ordering one panel into a tired leaf can be the more expensive way to learn that.

One section, when the others are straight

Panel replacement orders one section when the skin is gone, rusted through, or split, and the rest of the leaf is worth keeping. Height, the hinge pattern, and the thickness have to match what remains. A panel that is close will change every hinge above it. Color is matched at the opening, not from a photograph of a neighbor. Sun-faded paint will not be identical to a new skin, and we will not promise an invisible blend.

A crease is the other page

A dent that has not opened the skin can be the section-repair visit. A panel you can see daylight through, or a bottom section that has crumbled at the fixture, is this order. Rust in several sections, or a twist through the whole door, is a full replacement. Springs usually stay if the new panel weighs what the old one weighed. If the replacement is a different build, the balance is checked before the door is handed back.

Common questions

Can you match a faded color exactly?

We match at the opening and say what the supplier can actually provide. Sun-faded paint will not be identical to a new skin. We will not promise an invisible blend.

The bottom panel rusted from sprinklers. Do the springs change?

Usually the springs stay if the new panel weighs what the old one weighed. If the replacement is a different build, the balance is checked before the door is handed back.

The bottom panel rusted from sprinklers. Do the springs change?

Usually they stay if the new panel weighs what the old one weighed. A different build is weighed again before the door is handed back.
