Everything You Need to Know About Garage Door Cable Replacement

Garage Door Cable Repair

The garage door cables are critical components of your garage door system. The cables run from the bottom brackets on each side of your garage door to the cables drums on your head shaft.  By doing so, they transfer the torsion from your springs and use it to lift your garage door. Unfortunately, due to our cold and snowy Alberta winters, cables in our region often rust out on their bottom end and require frequent replacement. With that being said, we are always available for same or next day garage door cable repair!

Can I Replace Garage Door Cables Myself? 

When one of your garage door cables frays or tear, your garage door will typically lose balance, with one side of the door being slightly higher than the other side. In this case, your garage door will jam when trying to open and close. The garage door cables bear the full tension of the garage door torsion springs. For that reason, they are one of the most dangerous components of your door system. The tension must be entirely removed from the garage door cables by a professional garage door technician before attempting a garage door cable repair. Failure to follow these steps may result in catastrophic injury.

More Information and Tips

Garage Door Cable Types

While residential garage door cables may vary in thickness depending on the weight of your garage door panels, besides varying thickness, the large majority of garage door cables are identical. In addition, garage door cables are typically manufactured from galvanized steel wire, enhancing the life span of the cable. 
 

Tip #1

When a garage door cable tears and the garage door loses balance, this will typically result in damage to other parts of your garage door mechanism such as hinges, rollers and tracks. For that reason, at Fine Garage Door Repair Calgary, we believe in preventive maintenance and recommend frequently inspecting the garage door cables for rust and fray. If you notice any damage to your garage door cables, do not hesitate to contact us and prevent further damage to your garage door and its components.

Tip #2

Often when replacing your garage door cables, we will recommend replacing your bottom brackets and rollers, preventing the corrosion from spreading to your new cables.
