Signs of a Broken Garage Door Cable

Garage door cables are an essential part of automatic door mechanisms. These run through a system of pulleys or on a cable drum or spool. Over time, regular wear and tear will cause these cables to degrade. Other factors like moisture and poor track alignment can also speed up the cables’ lifespan. If left unchecked, unrepaired, or unreplaced, these cables can eventually snap, which can stop your doors from operating.  

To catch the signs of damaged cables before they break, observe the cables for visible signs of wear. Some signs you can spot include fraying, rusting, and thinning cables. At worst, you may find that the cable has completely snapped.

Our Garage Door Cable Repair and Replacement Process: Repair or Replace Your Door Cables?

Your cables can fail because of a number of factors, including regular wear and tear, and our technicians know how to best address the condition of your cables. They can recommend if your cables can be repaired, or if the more practical and safe solution is to completely replace your cables.

Whether the problem is your lift cables (cables used for garages with torsion springs) or retaining cables (used for garages with extension springs), our technicians can take a look at the cables. A lift cable and retaining cable work differently depending on the garage door spring, and our technicians know how to handle each type accordingly.  

Cables that are still in working condition but experiencing faster wear because of poor track alignment can be repaired by adjusting your door’s mechanisms to reduce the event of cables rubbing on other hardware.

However, for a broken cable or cables that are in a very poor state due to fraying from wear, rusting steel cable, or a general lack of maintenance, the safer solution is to replace the cables entirely. Our technicians can promptly perform garage door cable replacement and have your garage doors operating smoothly once more.

Testimonials

This is the second time I've used Overhead Door of Norwich to replace existing garage doors and openers. Charlie the salesman was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions regarding garage door options/garage door opener options and pricing. He kept me informed of the garage door lead times due to supply chain issues. The doors were delivered and installed in the estimated timeframe. The installation of the new garage doors went well and the new doors look great compared to our old, weathered wooden garage doors.

Steve Modzelewski

I have an older garage door to which I was hoping to add an automatic opener. Both the salesman, and,
ultimately a service person were professional and helpful. Though my garage was too limited in space for the opener, the service adjustments were very helpful; I also got new rubber door to floor gasket just before the flooding we've experienced here. Highly recommend.

Christine Anderson

We had our garage doors replaced by a different company a couple years ago. When one of the doors broke, we learned that company no longer serviced our area. Luckily Overhead Door CT is skilled in repairing various types of garage doors. In no time they got the broken garage door working again. Thanks!

Jacob Colman

Had them instal a new door opener because our 10 year old one was failing. They redid all the moving parts on our two garage doors, and he programmed our remote openers so they will each open all the doors. Their skills is unmatched and would really recommend them to anyone who needs their garage doors to be serviced.
