• A garage door bracket is a vital component in the
  operation of your garage door, as it helps secure
  the doors weight and provide support. When one
  of these breaks, youll likely hear rattling or a
  banging sound coming from your garage. This can
  be an extremely annoying problem, but luckily,
  it's relatively easy to fix with a few tools and
  supplies.
• The first step to repairing a broken garage door
  bracket is to identify what kind of bracket you
  have. The two main types are L-shaped brackets
  and Z-shaped brackets. After you've determined
  which type of bracket you have, it's time to
  begin repairing it.

• For an L-shaped bracket First, remove the screws
  that hold the bracket in place and carefully lift
  off the old bracket. Make sure to take note of
  its placement so you can reinstall the new one in
  the same spot later on. Then attach the new
  L-shaped bracket into place using either
  self-tapping screws or sheet metal screws
  (depending on your specific garage). Finally,
  reinstall the mounting screws and make sure
  everything is tight and secure before testing out
  your newly fixed garage door!
• For a Z-shaped bracket Start by unscrewing the
  four bolts that hold down the existing Z-shape
  bracket. Again, remember where each screw was for
  when you go to put them back in later on. Next,
  remove any cotter pins that may be present and
  then detach all three pieces of this particular
  type of garage door bracket. Now insert the new
  Z-shaped piece into place while using heavy duty
  pliers to help line up all three pieces tightly
  together once more. Secure everything with either
  sheet metal screws or self-tapping screws before
  finally putting back in all four bolts that hold
  down this piece as well as any cotter pins if
  applicable. Once everything is back in place,
  test out your repaired garage door!

• Now that we have covered how to fix a broken
  garage door bracket yourself, there are some
  other things worth mentioning here too. If after
  trying both methods above you still find yourself
  unable to get your garage running properly again,
  don't hesitate to call in a professional who will
  be able to accurately diagnose and repair your
  issue quickly and safely - saving yourself both
  time and money in comparison to trying it
  yourself without success!
• Final Advice Anytime dealing with something
  technical like fixing a broken garage door can be
  tricky, so please use caution when attempting
  repairs such as these at home - always wear
  protective gear like gloves goggles when
  working around sharp edges/metal components
  follow manufacturer instructions closely too.
  Failure to do so could result not only in costing
  more money down the line but possibly even injury
  if done incorrectly! Thanks again for reading
