    Garage Door Shred or More?

    First off let me start by saying there was no salvaging this door. Someone tried to break in to my back garage a while back and completely ruined it. Luckily at the time I had nothing of real value back there, but I plan on using it for storage and as a workshop. Anyways, I attached some pics so you could get a good idea of what it looks like. I know the brackets and hinges are galvanized but I'm not sure if the steel door would go for more then shred. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Does your scrap pay a clean steel price? The opener can be sold as electric motor

    My son ran into the bottom panel on mine. Not including labor the panel was $126.00. Try some overhead door service companies. I bet they would pay a discount rate for some of the good panels.

    Hey, I have a good suggestion for you, why don't you try to Re-Sale it?? As seems like a scrap!! Sorry to say this but if you give it a little modification or some thing like that you can get a good prize of it
    After all its up to you !!
