There are various moving parts in your garage door that should all be in good functioning order. One of the most important components is the garage door wire. ZAAAP Garage Door Repair is only a phone call away if you need an inspection or repair for your garage door cable.
If you detect a problem with your garage door cable, contact a repair agency immediately and refrain from operating the garage door until it has been repaired. Using a garage door with broken cables might cause additional harm to the door.
What Does Your Garage Door Cable Do?
Although the cable is not the most visible component of a garage door system, it is critical to the smooth operation of your door. The garage door is normally connected to the torsion springs by a system of cables. This is the most effective approach to keeping the garage door balanced at all times. The cables are located on both sides of the garage door. This component is dependable and durable, but don’t expect it to endure indefinitely. Wear and strain is unavoidable, especially if necessary care and maintenance, such as lubrication, are not provided.
Garage Door Cables Types
Spring Torsion Cables
The torsion spring cables, which have a crimped stop on one end and a loop on the other, are located at the bottom of your garage door. You won’t be able to open your garage door if these cables are broken.
Spring Extension Cables
The extension spring cables are long and extend on both sides of the garage door. Extension spring cables that have snapped will prohibit the garage door from opening.
Cables of Safety
The spring’s middle is where the safety cables run. Safety cables, which are used in conjunction with extension springs to avoid any harm or damage, are always installed by our professionals.
Why Do Garage Door Cables Snap?
If you pay close attention to any of these warning signs, you’ll be able to quickly diagnose the problem and avoid further damage to other garage door components.
