What garage door handle replacement includes

The technician removes the old handle and inspects the mounting holes -- years of stress can elongate them or crack the surrounding panel. If the panel is sound, a new handle goes on with reinforced backing plates so it won't work loose again.

When the handle includes a lock cylinder, the new one is keyed or matched to your existing setup where possible, and the locking mechanism is tested from both sides.

• Old handle removal and mounting area inspection
• Panel reinforcement if holes are worn
• New handle matched to your door's style
• Lock cylinder keyed or matched where possible
• Latch and lock operation tested inside and out
• Decorative hardware tightened to spec
• Finish touched up around the mounting area

Signs your handle needs replacement

A handle that spins freely, pulls away from the door, or has snapped off entirely is the obvious case. Less obvious: a lock that turns but doesn't actually engage, or a handle that's corroded to the point of staining the door beneath it.

If the door has decorative strap hinges to match, it's worth checking those at the same time -- they age together.
