What kind of warranties are usually offered with new garage doors?

Most Garage Door Manufacturers Offer a One-Year Warranty

When you purchase a new garage door or garage door opener, most manufacturers include a one-year warranty from the time of installation. This is standard across the industry and covers basic issues with parts or defects.

Inspect Everything Right Away

Once your new garage door is installed, you should go through all the components right away. Open up your package and inspect the hardware box. Look for:

• Missing parts
• Scratches on the face of the door
• Any signs of damage or poor finish
• Missing glue on the styles or seams

Catching these issues early makes it easier to get them fixed under warranty.

Document Issues and Contact the Manufacturer

If anything is missing or damaged, take clear photos and contact the manufacturer directly. They will usually ask you to:

• Explain the issue
• Provide pictures
• Build a case number

Most brands are good about standing behind their one-year coverage, especially when you report problems quickly.
