Dealing with Broken Garage Door Cables

Garage door cables are a vital part of your door’s overall functionality. They balance the door’s weight as it moves and are tailored to your specific spring system, varying in size, length, and configuration. While the springs provide the force to operate the door, the cables ensure smooth, controlled movement.

A broken cable renders the door inoperable and requires prompt repair or replacement to restore its operation.

Why You Should Leave Cable Repairs to Professionals

Garage door cables operate under intense tension, making their repair and replacement hazardous without the proper skills and equipment. Handling these components incorrectly can result in severe injuries or further damage to your garage door system.

For your safety, it’s highly recommended to contact a professional garage door repair service. Skilled technicians have the tools and training to handle cable issues with precision, ensuring a safe and effective resolution.

What Leads to Garage Door Cable Repairs?

Garage door cables are built tough, crafted from metal to endure constant use. However, their design requires flexibility, allowing them to move through the pulley system or wrap around drums. This repetitive motion, coupled with wear and tear, increases the likelihood of breakage over time.

Rust is a common enemy of garage door cables, as it corrodes the metal and compromises their strength. Regular inspections can help you catch early signs of fraying or rust before they lead to complete cable failure. If you notice any damage, it’s important to act quickly and call us for a thorough evaluation.

In torsion spring setups, misaligned cables can cause the door to become unbalanced or jam during operation. Sometimes, cables unwind completely from the drum and need reconnection – a complex and dangerous process due to the high spring tension.

With extension spring systems, issues often arise from worn pulleys. When pulleys wear out, cables don’t glide smoothly, resulting in a stuck or uneven door. Replacing damaged pulleys is essential for restoring proper functionality.
