What Garage Door Cables Do
Garage door cables carry the full weight of your door, and when they fray, stretch, or snap, the system becomes unsafe to use and may even fall off track.
Here are the most common signs of a cable problem:
Garage Door Lifts Unevenly
Cables out of balance cause the door to tilt, stick, or bind.
Grinding or Screeching Sounds
Damaged cables can rub against hardware, creating loud noises.
Loose or Hanging Garage Door Cable
A visible loose cable is a clear warning sign of failure.
Door Slams Shut or Won’t Stay Open
When cables snap, the door loses control and can fall dangerously.
Opener Strains or Won’t Work
If the opener is doing all the lifting, bad cables are often the cause.
