Examine more than the exterior dent

An impact can affect connected hinges, rollers or track as well as the visible section. Describe what happened and whether the door now catches or leans. The inspection should establish the full repair scope before a cosmetic-looking component is ordered.

Ask how the proposed section was identified

A similarly styled panel is not enough. The manufacturer, construction and relevant dimensions need to match the repair requirements. If the model is discontinued, discuss the supported alternatives and any difference in appearance rather than assuming another collection can be substituted.

Distinguish repair from a replacement project

Miami Springs identifies exterior-door work separately in its permit guidance. If the recommendation changes from one section to a complete door or an altered opening, confirm the applicable requirements for that larger scope. Keep the reasons for the change and the proposed product in writing.

Your questions

Does a discontinued door always make every repair impossible?

No. Available supported options and the specific damage should be checked first.

Should I bend the section back while waiting?

Do not attempt structural reshaping of the door. Keep a damaged or binding assembly unused.
