What wears out a Martin's Additions door isn't just use — it's the weather. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year drives summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, and we plan for all of it.
When Martin's Additions doors quit, it's usually swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. Our diagnostic isolates the true cause so the fix actually lasts.
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.

Worn hinge knuckles or loose hinge pins clunk as the door articulates between flat and curved track. Replacement eliminates.
Visible crack in hinge
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.
