Car Accident Whether your breaks go out as you pull into the driveway or your teenage driver put the car in drive instead of in reverse, a collision with your vehicle is certain to damage your garage door. You will likely notice that a panel or 2 is significantly dented or bent. While you may be tempted to leave them and continue using your garage door as normal (if it is still operational), it is important that you replace the damaged panels as soon as possible. Running the garage door with damaged panels can cause further damage to the tracks and springs. Wild Animal While it's unlikely that you're going to have a grizzly bear mauling your garage door, it's not unheard of for a frightened deer or other large animal to run into a garage door and damage it. While small dents from such incidents aren't too much to worry about, a large animal can cause some large damage, so if that does happen to your garage, you should replace the damaged panels accordingly. Kids' Toys You may not think your little ones can cause much damage to your large garage door, but you would be surprised. Kids can crash their bikes into the garage door, throw basketballs at it, or knock over a freestanding basketball hoop into it. All of these things could potentially cause enough damage that you will need to replace one or more garage door panels. Of course, you should teach your kids not to throw things at the garage door intentionally, but keep in mind that accidents can always happen.

Whether it is an angry ex venting some rage on your property, or a would-be thief trying to gain access to your home through your garage, garage doors are sometimes damaged intentionally.
