    I have a standard wooden 4 panel garage door.  On the bottom panel there are pins on the side where cables are attached on each side for the springs to assist in lifting the door.  One of the pins sheared off when the door was down and the spring was expanded.  Of course there was a loud noise but except for the pin there is no damage.  I wonder if I can dig the remains of this pin out and replace it?   What is this part called.  Does anyone sell it.   Can I make my own pin.  Thanks for any advice.   Jim

    It’s fixed. Didn’t realize the bottom bracket had the pin attached. Found a new bracket and replaced it.
