One of the first parts of a garage door to wear down are the brackets that hold it in place. Typically these support brackets keep the door in place as it is moved into different positions. It is also the part of the garage door that contends with the force of any weather outside, so it’s not uncommon for them to wear down relatively quickly.
Fortunately almost every garage door can be fitted with replacement brackets. While they can be used to replace worn or rusted brackets, they can also be fitted as stronger upgrades on a new garage door. This immediately increases the durability of a garage door, it can also be a necessary upgrade for garages that are guaranteed to contend with heavy wind or rain.
Support brackets are often made from galvanised steel. This allows for greater durability and rust resistance, which are useful traits for a large moving piece of metal on the side of a building.
