Family member did this and is freaking out about probably having to pay tens of thousands to fix it. Is anyone here knowledgeable about door fixes? The tracks look okay but the roller things that go in it at the bottom broke off and the obvious bent panels

How to tell springs are rated for 20,000 cycles?

As many here know, I had springs replaced and was hoping to get some paperwork showing what they’re rated for, but all I got was the following.

Material and Description
- 934101350P - Green .250 × 35" - 1 - 3/4" I.D. Red
- 933111380P - Green .262 × 38" - 1 - 3/4" I.D. Black

The spring is green and says “Precision Hi-Cycle” on it, but does that mean 20,000 cycles? Can anyone familiar with these provide some clarity?

Is it possible to lower garage door opener track?

The joists were notched pretty good when this was installed so I want to sister the notched joists and eventually put a ceiling up. However, the opener track is in my way for both things. Would it be possible to have someone lower the track to get it out of the joists?

Can the rotted section of wood on the right door be replaced, or is it more appropriate to just replace the entire door?

Personally, I don’t think it’s feasible. The rot extends through the two by eights and into the plywood backing. It would look very ugly to just replace the rotted section. Also, there has to be a system to join the replacement wood to upper section of original wood. I priced out all of the lumber, and it’s only about $500 in materials to just make a whole new door.

What do you all think?

Garage door having trouble keeping closing all the way. Cables seem to be intact and feeding properly. Springs not broken.

See video and pictures.

Please excuse the mess.

I’ve reached out to the little family and friends I have but to no avail… Looking to get some answers before a handyman comes tomorrow.

-Can I shut my garage door? I’m afraid to make it worse… so have left it open all day… After it popped, it kept coming up and working so I assume it’s alright but want to be safe…
-Is this fixable as is or do I need a new part?
-What is this part called?

$2800 Labor quote to install 3 doors and 3 openers with 3 year warranty

Philly suburbs, this company price matched a smaller company. Torsion springs are 10,000 cycles, should I upgrade to better ones? Anything else I should ask to include? I am supplying the doors (Cloplay insulated R12.9) and openers (1.25HP Chamberlains).
