How To Pop Dents Out Of Aluminum Garage Door

Whenever your aluminum garage door gets a large dent, it’s understandable that you’d want to repair it as soon as possible. It’s also important to know how to repair dents because any hole or dent can cause water to leak and cause damage to your home. Additionally, the dent can start to rust if left untreated for a long time.

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to pop a dent out of an aluminum garage door:

Materials needed:

A plunger (optional)
Drywall screws
A wooden block
A hammer
A lubricant (optional)

Instructions:

Safety first: Wear safety glasses and gloves before starting any work.
Prepare the dent: If the dent is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth. If the dent is creased, you can try to use a plunger to pop it out. Place the plunger over the dent and push and pull until the dent pops out.
Screw in the drywall screws: Screw in two drywall screws into the dent, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Leave about 1/2 inch of the screws sticking out.
Place the wooden block: Place the wooden block over the screws and tap it gently with a hammer. The dent should start to pop out.
Continue tapping: Continue tapping the wooden block until the dent is completely popped out.
Remove the screws: Once the dent is popped out, remove the screws.
Lubricate the dent: If the dent is still visible, you can try to lubricate it with a lubricant. This will help to smooth out the dent.

Tips:

If the dent is large, you may need to use a larger wooden block or a rubber mallet.
Be careful not to hit the dent too hard, as this could damage the garage door.
If you are unable to pop the dent out yourself, you may need to contact a professional.
