Garage door cables are made using metal and are typically strong. However, their placement in the mechanism is such that they remain flexible and can be pulled repeatedly through the pulley system or can wrap around drums. This increases the chances of their breakage.
Like most parts of the door, cables undergo severe wear and tear. With time, they lose their strength and ultimately break. You must keep an eye on your garage door cables and check their strength frequently to ensure there is no damage. If you observe any signs of fraying, you must contact us immediately and we will evaluate the condition. One of the other common reasons for broken cables is rust. When rust corrodes cables, they need to be replaced or else they can make the garage door dysfunctional.
If your garage door becomes unlevel, you must inspect the cables. A cable with torsion spring setup generally wraps around the drum causing interruptions in movement. You will notice that one side of the door is holding while moving downward. Cables might also unwind from the drum completely and require reconnection. Please note, reconnecting cables is quite dangerous since the spring is under extreme tension.
In case the door uses an extension spring setup, you must check the pulleys. Cables stop running smoothly when the pulley is worn out. The door will become uneven or get stuck in between. This can mean that the pulley needs to be replaced.
