I have a 9 wide single wooden garage door about 25 years old with a rotten bottom panel section.
Old wooden garage door repair.
Mix polyester wood filler or bondo wood filler and press it into the recess with a putty knife.
It will help to place shim blocks under the door to relieve some of the pressure from the brackets image 1.
To determine the location use a tape measure to figure the width of the garage door.
I hope to spend less than 150 00 on this project.

Using vise grips remove the bolts from the brackets image 2 and slide the doors out image 3.
The mechanism should be installed at the center of the door.

I need to replace just that panel section.
I plan to do the installation myself but i need to have the panel section made for me.
