A gap under the garage door in Paterson usually means a worn bottom seal or an uneven door. Both are quick, affordable fixes.

Why does this keep happening in Paterson? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a gap under the garage door is one of the more common calls our Paterson crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your gap under the garage door

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A worn or cracked bottom seal

The rubber astragal flattens and tears over time.

An uneven floor or door

A settled slab or crooked door leaves a gap on one side.

A bent bottom section

Damage to the bottom panel breaks the seal.

How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Paterson pro

We replace the bottom seal, level the door, and check the threshold so it closes tight.
