Cable Problems. Safer Solutions.

Garage door cables work with the spring system to raise and lower your door. Damaged or displaced cables can cause binding, uneven movement, or a door that will not close properly.

Cable and spring components can be under significant tension. Avoid operating a door with an apparent cable problem and have the system inspected by a qualified technician.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Garage Door Cable Repair FAQs

What are signs of a damaged garage door cable?

Common signs include visibly frayed strands, a cable hanging loose, a crooked door, or jerky movement. Stop using the door and request an inspection.

Can I keep using my garage door with a loose cable?

No. A damaged or loose lifting cable can cause unpredictable movement and may indicate another hardware problem.

Can garage door cables be repaired or replaced?

A technician can inspect the cables, drums, springs, and related parts to determine an appropriate solution. Damaged cables are typically replaced rather than spliced.

Why did my garage door cable come off the drum?

A cable may come off because of a door obstruction, worn hardware, misalignment, or problems with the spring system. The underlying cause should be identified.
