Garage Door CABLE REPLACEMENT & REPAIR

Do You Need Garage Door Cable Replacement?

Your garage door cables can wear out over time. As they age, there are a variety of things that can happen to cause them to malfunction. One of the most common signs that you should schedule garage door cable replacement is a fraying cable. This is a sign that the cable material is weakening and if a spring breaks the cable might not have been strong enough to hold the full weight of the door. Another common problem with garage door cables is a jammed door. This can occur when the cable gets stretched out and wraps around the drum of the pulley system. Cables are usually made of twisted metal. Occasionally, a cable can begin to unravel, making it weak and allowing it to get caught in the other parts of your garage door system. Sometimes a bad cable can be caused by a defective pulley wheel, so it is important to maintain and repair all systems related to your garage door cables.
