Garage door cables are the cords responsible for physical holding up the weight of your door. At well over 100 lbs, that’s some real heavy lifting! To put it into perspective, we’re talking about the equivalent of a baby horse. With all that tension, sometimes garage door cables overstretch or tear, putting you or your possessions at risk of some serious damage. Remember to regularly checked for visible fraying, rust and corrosion. Keep in mind that even the most minor and invisible damages can quickly turn serious. A frayed cable can easily unwind or tear due to the tension and weight of the door.

Strong and flexible, garage door cables wind around drums or pulleys, and in the process may overlap incorrectly, causing a full system jam.

Extension springs operate with extension cables, whereas torsion springs require matching torsion cables. If you are unsure of your garage door cable type, there is nothing to worry about.
