The Role of Garage Door Cables

Garage door cables work in tandem with the torsion springs to lift and lower the weight of the door evenly and safely. These heavy-duty cables are typically made of steel and are designed to handle the constant tension and movement that garage doors require. When functioning correctly, cables help balance the door, reduce strain on the opener, and ensure smooth motion every time you open or close the door.

Without properly working cables, your garage door may become misaligned, unstable, or even inoperable. In the worst-case scenario, a broken cable can cause the door to slam shut or fall unexpectedly—posing serious risks to people, pets, and property.
