These Work!
I bought these door brackets but my door was sagging so bad I didn't think they would work. My garage door is a 16' door and it was sagging so bad I thought the door was going to slide off the roller axles. I was having to push up on the door to get it to roll down. I put these on and could tell the door was more rigid. I can open and close the door with one hand again. The door had gotten so hard to close that it broke my opener. I wish I had taken some before and after pictures to show the massive improvement these supports made. Installation was pretty simple. My door is insulated so I had to make sure I was on the structural door supports. Great product, and it was such a relief to have these installed and my door working again.

Works fine, but a lot more work than the complete 1 piece 16' strut
The self tapping screws are excellent. I try using a cordless drill, but it was just too weaks not enough torque. Had to buy one of those cord drill with more amps (7.5 amp). I brought it from Harbor Freight for $40. Get some ear plugs, it get really noisy!! Wear safety glasses too!It is much easy job with 2 people. Doing it by myself takes some engineering. A couple vise grip clamps came handy. I installed 2 struts. One on the top and one on the second panel from the top.The extra weight from the struts will require adjustment on torsion springs (adding more turns).Not an easy DIY project. If you not handy, get the professional to do it.Much better than spending $1200 for a new garage door.

Easy to install and gets the job done
Extremely happy with the purchase, saved me hundreds off what a local servicer was going to charge. Installed in about 30 minutes, had a helper hold the strut for the first screw but could have done it solo in a pinch. I was most nervous about the quality of the self-tapping screws since a lot of amazon sellers cheap out on that type of hardware, but these were excellent.100% would recommend to anyone looking to extend the life of their sagging garage door.

Fixed Damaged Garage Door With This
Had some damage to the 16' garage door. It was mostly across the top with a three to four foot section that was bowed to the point of not going up or down with the garage door opener. Found this on Amazon and added it across the top. Reattached the garage door opener components to the door and it works so much better. For the time being it saved me the cost of replacing (and repainting the entire top panel).

Good materials and 5 Star Doors did a great job to help make installation as easy as it could be.
Product arrived intact via UPS which can be hit or miss. I was one screw short of the smaller ones had 11 out of 12 but I made it work. Instructions were clear but I would advise 5 Star Doors to print them a little darker. It's hard to see/read for people over 50. Looks like a copy of a copy of a copy. But those are minor issues and I wanted to give some feedback on how they could improve a couple things. The instructions recommend you measuring and attaching the center strut to the two side ones first. I found that centering and attaching the center strut to the garage door first allowed me to line up the side pieces in the door's predrilled holes. I did use a C-clamp to hold firm the side pieces when securing them to the center piece. So, attach the center piece with ONE screw at the top so it can pivot and then mount each side with one screw at the top of the end of the strut. You can then use the C-clamp or clamps to squeeze in and hold the left and right struts while you drill/mount the short screws. My garage door is probably 30-40 years old, so maybe the newer doors line up better, but I found that this was the easiest and straightest way to mount the struts. It fixed my issue and my door is so much quieter now. Also, I'd recommend having a helper. I did it solo but I'm experienced with metal fabrication so I knew how to plan/think ahead. I'm thinking of getting two more struts for the other panels, but they're not needed at this time. Great company and I would absolutely buy from 5 Star Doors again.

Do It Yourself Fix at a fraction of the cost
This worked to re-enforce my double garage door where a panel had sagged and wouldn't close as a result. You do need an impact drill to install and it does add considerable weight to the garage door, but it fixed the issue at a fraction of the cost of bringing in a repair person. Comes with everything you need.
