Signs You Need Garage Door Cable Repair
Your garage door cables are essential for safe and smooth operation. Over time, wear and tear can lead to issues that compromise your door’s functionality and safety. Addressing these problems early can prevent costly repairs and accidents. Here are the key signs that you may need garage door cable repair or replacement.
Uneven Cable Wear
If one cable shows significantly more wear than the other, it may indicate an imbalance in the system that needs attention.
Shaking or Vibrations
Excessive vibrations during door movement could be caused by damaged or improperly installed cables.
Cable Misalignment
Cables slipping off the drum or pulley can disrupt the door’s operation and may signal deeper mechanical issues.
Door Opens Too Quickly
A garage door that opens too fast can be a sign of improperly tensioned or failing cables.
Irregular Door Speed
Inconsistent opening or closing speed often points to cable problems affecting the balance of the door.
Visible Frays Near Attachments
Damage where the cable connects to the drum or brackets could indicate stress or improper tensioning.
Burn Marks on the Cables
Improper alignment or tension can cause the cables to rub too much, leaving visible burn marks on them.
Creaking or Straining During Opening/Closing
Straining sounds can indicate that cables are overburdened or nearing the end of their life.
