Garage Door Cables Repair & Replacement
Expert & Safe Repair for Broken, Frayed, or Loose Garage Door Cables
Garage door cables are unsung heroes of your garage door system. Working in conjunction with springs, they bear the significant weight of your door, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly, safely, and evenly. When a cable breaks, frays, or comes off its drum, it’s not just an inconvenience, it’s a serious safety hazard that can render your door inoperable and even cause it to crash down unexpectedly.

Understanding the Importance of Your Garage Door Cables

Garage door cables are crucial for:
- Balancing the Door: They transfer the tension from the springs to lift and lower the door.
- Even Movement: Ensuring both sides of the door move synchronously.
Safety: Preventing the door from falling rapidly if a spring breaks.
Signs You Need Garage Door Cable Repair:
It’s vital to address cable issues immediately. Look out for these common indicators:
- Door Hanging Unevenly: One side of your garage door is lower than the other.
- Door Stuck or Off-Track: The door won’t move, or it’s derailed from its tracks.
- Visible Fraying or Rust: The cables appear worn, damaged, or corroded.
- Loud Snapping Noise: This often indicates a cable has broken or come loose.
- Cable Off the Drum: The cable is visibly loose or unwound from the cylindrical drum at the top corners of the door.
Door Feels Heavier: If you’re operating manually, the door feels unusually heavy or difficult to lift.
