Why did my Garage Door Cables Break?

Broken garage door cables are one of the most common reasons your door has stopped working. Signs of broken door cables include the cable hanging loose from the drum, seeing frayed or broken cables, or the garage door drooping to one side or catching as it’s being lowered. In some cases, this can cause a garage door to jam. You might also see signs the pulley has worn out.

Wear And Tear

 Garage door cables can wear out like any other piece of equipment, which is why it’s always a good idea to visually inspect your cables on a regular basis, checking for any signs of fraying or breakage. Temperature extremes can cause cables to become brittle, so make sure your garage is well insulated.

Incorrect Installation

Ensuring your garage door cables are correctly installed is important if you want to maximize their lifespan. Cables that are incorrectly installed might be too tight or loose, or too thin to bear the weight of your garage door. All these factors can cause cables to break, which is why it’s critical to use trust garage door contractors, like those at Austin’s Greater Garage Doors.

Another Component Malfunctioned

Sometimes the problem isn’t the cable, but another part of the garage door mechanism. If the pulley wears out it can cause damage to garage door cables, and if you see signs of the cable getting worn or frayed, check to make sure there’s nothing near it that’s rubbing against it. Repeated rubbing against a stray nail or bent track will eventually cause the cables to break.

Maintaining Garage Door Cables

You can avoid an inconvenient garage door breakdown by carrying out basic maintenance throughout the year. Regular visual inspections of your garage door mechanism will help you become familiar with your system and spot trouble before it starts.

If you do notice signs of damage, it’s time to call in the professionals. While it’s tempting to search for a DIY solution to a broken garage door, garage doors are too big and heavy to safely maneuver by yourself, and they’re supported by springs that are kept under hundreds of pounds of pressure. If that pressure is accidentally released when you’re working on a garage door, you can cause a serious injury.

No matter how easy that YouTube video makes it look, always leave garage door repairs to professionals!
