Garage Door Cable Repair Services

Having a broken cable severely disrupts the functionality of your garage door and compromises the rest of the garage door system. This can pose a huge safety risk, so it’s important that you contact a garage door expert immediately to deal with any malfunctioning cables.

How to Know if Your Garage Cable is Broken

Read below for more information on how to know whether you have a broken garage door cable

Loose or Drooping Cables

One of the easiest ways to spot a broken garage door cable is a loose or hanging cable. Make sure cables are taught and securely in place. Attempting to operate the garage door with a broken cable can lead to further damage to the door itself or other components of the garage door system. If you suspect any signs of a hanging or sagging cable, have a professional at Modern Day Garage inspect or repair your garage door to ensure it is functioning properly.

Misaligned Door

Opening and closing your garage door can put stress on a cable, making them susceptible to wear and tear over time. If you notice that your garage door is misaligned, the garage door cable could be faulty or broken. This misalignment often indicates that one or both of the cables are not functioning correctly, compromising the operation of the door. It’s important to address a malfunctioning cable promptly to prevent further complications and potential safety hazards.  

Unpleasant Noises

If you hear loud banging, grinding, or clashing noises when operating your garage door, it might be time to fix the cables. These unpleasant sounds are often a clear indication of underlying issues, such as cables that have frayed or rusted, which creates a higher risk of them snapping. Ignoring these signs could lead to more permanent damage and increase the safety risk of your garage door. Trust a garage door professional to ensure that the job is done right, and you can avoid more costly repairs in the future.

Can You Replace Garage Door Cables?

Repairing or replacing garage door cables is a complex and potentially hazardous task that requires specialized knowledge, tools, and experience. Attempting to do it yourself without the proper training and equipment can pose significant safety risks, such as injuries from the high tension of the cables or damage to the door mechanism.

For garage door cable repair or replacement, we recommend that you contact a professional at Modern Day Garage. Contact us or schedule an appointment today to get your garage door cables serviced!
