🔩 What Are Shim Hinges?

Shim hinges are used between the hinge and the garage door panel to ensure a tight, even fit. Depending on your door type, hinge style, or installation method, shims help maintain proper alignment and prevent gaps or uneven pressure that could cause premature wear.

When installed correctly, hinge shims help keep your hinges flush, stable, and properly positioned, ensuring smooth operation and reducing stress on your garage door hardware.

⚙️ Why Use Shim Hinges?

🧰 Installation Tips

• Place the shim behind the hinge where gaps or uneven mounting surfaces exist.

• Check that each hinge sits flush and level before tightening bolts.
