Signs Your Garage Door Cable Needs Repair

• The door looks uneven, with one side lower than the other when operating
• You can see a cable hanging loose or coiled on the floor near the door
• The door jerks or moves unevenly as it opens or closes
• You can see fraying, kinking, or rust on the cable itself
• The door closes crooked or one side drops faster than the other
• The opener strains or the door feels heavier than usual

Why Cables Break

Garage door cables are under significant tension at all times. Over time, especially in Ontario's climate, cables develop wear from friction against the drum and pulleys, can rust from exposure to moisture and road salt tracked in by vehicles, and eventually fray and snap. A broken spring is the most common cause of sudden cable failure: when a spring breaks, the cable takes the full weight of the door and often snaps immediately.

We always inspect cables when replacing springs and recommend replacing both at the same time when either shows significant wear.
