Keene garage door hinge repair runs through our shop constantly. Set in New Hampshire's continental-climate region, these doors meet cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, and we choose parts that outlast it.
Garage doors in Cheshire County live with warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. For Keene that means watching for cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.
Keene homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
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.
Signs you need garage door hinge repair
Clunking sound during travel
Worn hinge knuckles or loose hinge pins clunk as the door articulates between flat and curved track. Replacement eliminates.
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.

Frequently asked about garage door hinge repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Hinge Repair near me ask us:
Keene sits in warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. That is hard on a door — cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for New Hampshire's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
The call we get most in Keene is freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Keene has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
If multiple show wear, yes. Hinges at the same position on a single door wear at the same rate, so once one fails the others are close behind.
When the original was under-sized or the door is heavier than spec — yes. Heavy-gauge hinges add modest cost and meaningful longevity.
Quoted flat-rate by scope — a single hinge, a full hinge set, or bundled with roller replacement. Confirmed in writing first.
Single hinge: 15–20 minutes. Full hinge set (12–15 hinges): 90–120 minutes. Add 30 minutes if also doing rollers.
