I have a garage door with a wooden frame. It's about 30 years old and the bottom 6" of the frame have rotted at either side.
Is it's quite a major task to replace the frame I wish to do a swift repair, something that'll last for another 5 or 10 years and look cosmetically acceptable.
I thought about removing the bottom portion with a handsaw and fitting a new piece of timber. Unfortunately, there is a metal strip screwed to the back that also supports the door!
Has anyone got any clever ideas for cutting the wood without removing the metal?
I'd thought of simply screwing an 'L' profile metal/plastic extrusion over the top of the rotted portion. Any gotchas with taking this approach?
