Repair or replace?

Is it time to replace your garage door, or just fix it?

Answer what you know about your door, springs and opener. You’ll get a call for each part: fine for now, keep an eye on it, repair, or replace. Every figure comes from a maker or a standards body, and links to it. If you don’t know an answer, leave it blank.
