Garage Door Cable Replacement

Garage door cables work in unison with torsion and extension springs to support and lift the heavy door panels. Made of aircraft-grade braided steel, these cables are subjected to constant friction and high tension. Over time, moisture, salt air, and regular use cause cables to rust, fray, and eventually snap.

Frayed steel lift cable that has lost tension and needs immediate replacement.

Re-aligning the rollers and replacing cables to get the door rolling safely.

Symptoms of Failing Cables

• ✓Visibly frayed or unraveling steel wire strands.
• ✓The garage door hangs crookedly or is unbalanced when open.
• ✓Cables are loose, hanging off the drum, or wrapped around the shaft.
