Cables are one of the most critical components of garage doors.
It acts in accordance with the springs to allow the garage door’s operation to go smoothly and without any problems.
However, cables do face damages, too, just like springs and any other system components.
Sometimes, they can wear out over time and eventually snap, which is a worst-case scenario.

Torsion Springs’ Cable Replacement
The torsion springs’ cables are connected to the door’s foot into the sides, which allows the torsion springs to wind itself up.
As the garage door is lifted above, the torsion springs also unwind, and the force that it produces contributes to the lifting of the door.
These cables are the companions of the torsion springs that assist it on the job.
Hence, when cables like these are broken, the springs lifting the door cannot unwind, and the door itself cannot be opened.
The company’s services can quickly replace these cables and put the torsion springs back into place.
What we can do:

Extension Springs Cable Replacement
There are different types of cables that complement the different types of springs as well.
Naturally, there are also cables for extension springs that accompany its function and make the operation easier.
The extension springs are linked to the cables located at the foot of the garage door’s sides.
Because of this, the closing of the door allows the extension springs to stretch, hence the name.
The door’s opening is prevented with a broken spring cable as the springs itself are stopped from lifting the door back into its original place above.
This issue disrupts the operation’s flow and eventually stops the garage door itself from functioning.

Safety Cables Repair and Replacement
The garage door is also installed with a set of safety cables that prevent a broken garage door from falling.
If the garage door has been damaged, it is the safety mechanism employed to prevent further damages and injuries on the people nearby.
Safety cables are closely linked to the track of the garage door located near the pulleys.
Therefore, if the springs break, these cables can easily hold up the springs mid-air to keep further problems from arising.
However, the springs cannot be prevented from falling when it breaks.
If the safety cables of garage doors are damaged, the door cannot be prevented from falling along with the spring, causing more problems for homeowners.
