What Are Garage Door Cables and Why Are They Important?

Garage door cables are part of the counterbalance system that allows your door to open and close safely. They work in coordination with the springs to manage the heavy lifting. Typically made from strong steel wire, these cables wrap around a drum and help support the weight of the door.

When a cable breaks, your garage door may become crooked, jammed, or even fall unexpectedly—posing a safety hazard to you and your family.

Common Signs You Need Garage Door Cable Replacement

Knowing when to replace your garage door cables is key to preventing accidents and costly damage. Here are some common warning signs:

• Frayed or snapped cables

• Garage door stuck or tilted

• Unusual noises during operation

• Loose cables hanging down the sides

• Garage door won’t open or close fully

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to call a professional for a trusted garage door cable replacement.

The Dangers of DIY Cable Repair

Garage doors are under extreme tension due to the springs and cables. Attempting to fix or replace a cable on your own can be extremely dangerous. Without the proper tools and experience, you risk serious injury or further damage to your door system.

Our technicians are fully trained and equipped to handle cable replacements safely. We always prioritize your safety and provide durable solutions that restore full function to your garage door.

We follow a proven step-by-step process to ensure top-quality service and long-term reliability:

1. Inspection

We start with a thorough inspection of your garage door system to assess the condition of the cables, springs, pulleys, and tracks.

2. Safety Precautions

Before we begin any repair work, we secure the door and disconnect power to the opener. Safety is always our first priority.

3. Cable Removal and Replacement

We remove the damaged cable and replace it with a high-grade, galvanized steel cable designed for durability and strength.

4. Balance and Testing

Once installed, we test the door’s balance and movement. We’ll make sure everything runs smoothly and safely before we leave.
