Signs You Need a Garage Door Cable Replacement

See below for more information on recognizing a broken garage door cable. 

Misaligned Garage Door

A garage door that appears to be misaligned is often a result of a worn-out or broken cable. Over time, the repeated motion of opening and closing the door leads to wear, which can cause the cables to malfunction. When you notice that your garage door is out of alignment, it generally indicates that one or both cables are failing, impacting the door’s ability to function properly. Prompt garage door cable repair can prevent more severe issues and ensure your door is safe. 

Strange or Unusual Noises

If you hear loud banging, grinding, or clashing noises when using your garage door, it generally suggests that the cable is damaged. Damage to cables can include fraying or rusting, which increases the risk of them snapping. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to extensive damage and safety risks. It’s best to have a garage door professional inspect and perform a garage door cable repair or recommend a garage door cable replacement service to avoid costly issues in the future.
