Garage Door Cable Repair

Expert Garage Door Cable Repair

Garage door cables work hand-in-hand with springs to lift and lower your door smoothly. These high-strength steel cables bear significant weight and tension. When cables break or fray, your garage door can become stuck, operate unevenly, or pose a serious safety risk.

Why Cables Break

Normal Wear and Tear: Cables lift and lower your door thousands of times per year, eventually causing wear and stress on the steel fibers.

Rust and Corrosion: Exposure to moisture, especially in Florida's humid climate, can cause cables to rust and weaken over time.

Spring Failure: When a spring breaks, it can cause sudden tension changes that snap cables or wind them improperly on the drums.

Poor Maintenance: Lack of lubrication and regular inspections can accelerate cable deterioration.

The Importance of Safety Cables

For garage doors with extension springs, safety cables are essential. These cables run through the center of each extension spring and prevent the spring from becoming a dangerous projectile if it breaks. If your door has extension springs without safety cables, we strongly recommend adding them for your family's protection.
