Understanding Garage Door Cables
Garage door cables are critical components of your door’s opening system, designed to handle significant weight and ensure smooth operation. Made of strong, entwined wires, lift cables anchor at the door’s bottom corner, connect to counterbalance springs, and work with the system to raise and lower the door. When a cable breaks, the door may fail to function properly, making prompt repair essential. Some garage doors also feature retaining cables, which prevent extension springs from falling or causing damage if they snap. These safety cables are vital for protecting your property and preventing injuries.
Common Garage Door Cable Issues
- Wear and Tear: Over time, cables fray or break due to repeated lifting and lowering.
- Misaligned Cables: Misalignment causes uneven door movement, stressing the door and motor.
- Rust or Corrosion: Exposure to moisture weakens cables, increasing the risk of snapping.
- Loose or Broken Cable Drums: Faulty drums cause cables to slip or tangle, disrupting operation.
- Cable Tension Problems: Incorrect tension leads to jerky or stalled door movement.
Why Safety Cables Matter
Doors with extension springs rely on safety cables to contain the force of a broken spring. Without them, a spring failure could cause severe injury or damage, such as denting a vehicle. Ensure your Ottawa garage door is equipped with safety cables for maximum protection. Stay Safe – Schedule Cable Repair Today!
