    I have 3 bolts that were ripped out of my hollow garage door where the J arm from the opener attaches to the door.

    A can not put thicker bolts into the door because they have to pass through the metal plate on the arm that have pre drilled holes of a certain size.

    I don't want to put a long bolt all the way through the door with a nut because the condo board would likely not approve that because how it would look on the outside.

    Any suggestions?
    Should I get some sort of anchors or maybe a product like JB Weld to permanently affix it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.Genie - how do I repair bolts ripped out of door?Genie 2020L 20220512Genie - how do I repair bolts ripped out of door?Genie 2020L 20220513

    Looks like it was just screwed into the inside steel with possibly no backer plate. Most polystyrene insulated double-sided doors will have a backer plate that goes from top to bottom in line with the hinges. Most polyurethane insulated doors only have a small backer where the hinge attaches or the whole width along the top and bottom of the section. Determining which type you have may help find a better anchoring point. You could also use an opener door bracket that can be purchased at a hardware store.
