Broken Garage Door Cable Repairs in the Greater Phoenix Area
Garage door cables are twisted stands of heavy-duty wire attached to the springs to control tension and create the smooth motion of a garage door in operation. Garage door cables can wear, fray, rust, and even snap due to improper spring adjustment, creating a hazardous situation best handled by a professional.
Ideally, garage door cables should be replaced before they are damaged enough to break. Garage door cables can be lift cables or retaining cables, depending on the type of springs used on the garage door.
Lift cables - Lift cables are connected to the bottom corners of the garage door and the torsion springs above the door.
Retaining cables - Extension springs run vertically along each side of the door and house retaining cables to prevent the springs from causing damage if they break.
Signs of Broken Garage Door Cables
A broken cable in older garages with doors supported by a single cable will cause the garage door to come crashing down. In garage doors with two cables, the door will appear crooked. The door may also not open and close correctly. Cables can also fall away from their spools if a spring breaks.
