Garage Door Cables
Garage Door Cable Replacement
Along with the springs, garage door cables help move the door smoothly along the tracks.
Broken cables can lead to several issues with your garage door – including shaking, falling, or getting stuck – so it’s best to have them replaced when they aren’t working.
How Do They Break?
A few causes of broken cables include:
- Wear and tear – Over time, garage door cables can become worn and frayed. This can be due to the regular use of the garage door or environmental factors like temperature and humidity.
- Rust – If the cables are exposed to moisture, rust can form on them, leading to corrosion that weakens the cable’s structure.
- Improper tension – The garage door cables must be under the right amount of tension to work correctly. If the tension is too loose or too tight, it can cause the cables to break.
If your garage door cables are broken or damaged, it can cause problems with your entire garage door system.
They can make the weight of the door become unevenly distributed, which puts a strain on other important components like the springs, tracks, and rollers. Some signs of broken cables include noisy operation, difficulty opening the door, or an unbalanced door.
If you’re not sure if your cables are the issue, don’t worry! Our technicians perform a thorough 25-point inspection to find the problem before starting any repairs.
Never attempt to fix broken cables yourself – always call a trained professional who can replace them safely.
