    Door opener bracket screws pulled out of my insulated garage door

    How do I repair the holes in my garage door so that I can reattach the opener? The holes are stripped. Can the holes be filled with something so that they will hold.

    Nothing to fill the holes that will last and don't drill holes all the way through the door.
    This is we use to fix problems like that:

      Piece of angle iron

      Take a piece of angle iron about 17" and attach vertically where the bracket was. Use the top screw of the middle hinge and the bottom screw of the strut to secure. Throw a couple screws in along it to secure and then bolt your arm to the angle iron.

        Holes in the garage door? How big are they?

          Right, if they are that big it might be cheaper to just buy a new garage door than trying to fix it up.
