Garage door cables play a crucial role in the safe and smooth operation of your garage door system. These cables support the door’s weight during lifting and lowering. When they break, fray, or come off the track, it can lead to serious operational issues or even safety hazards. At AA Garage Door Repair Services, we provide expert garage door cable repair throughout St. Paul and the Twin Cities region, ensuring fast, safe, and long-lasting solutions.
Garage door cables are part of the pulley system that works in conjunction with the torsion or extension springs. They bear the entire weight of the garage door, making them essential to the system’s functionality and safety. If a cable breaks or slips off the drum, the door may become unbalanced or immobile.
Homeowners often overlook cable issues until they become dangerous. Be on the lookout for these warning signs:
