My car slipped out of gear and slid into the garage door on the house I'm living in. I need a way to identify the garage door, so that it can be replaced. I can't seem to find any identifiers on the door anywhere. Anyone know how I can go about matching the door? Thanks.

Well, check between the panels if it still opens. If nothing, you can post pics at a hosting site like Photobucket or similar and link the HTML code in your reply. Also, location may be helpful as some are sold regionally.

If you are going to be replacing the whole door, brand doesn't matter. If you just want to replace a panel or 2, you could take pictures to any local garage door install/sales company and they would probably be able to ID it.

I checked the other smaller door on the house and it is a Wayne Dalton. I'm pretty sure they both are. The one that was damaged is a wider one. I'll track down the exact dimensions and get some pictures.

Happy shootin'
