Your garage door weighs hundreds of pounds. Springs do the heavy lifting so your opener doesn’t have to. They keep the door balanced, make opening and closing smooth, and protect the motor from early burnout. Without properly working springs, your garage door becomes unsafe, unreliable, and can damage the opener system.

How Do Garage Door Cables Work?>
Garage door cables run along the sides of your door and wind around drums to lift and lower the door. They work together with torsion or extension springs to handle the heavy weight of the door and keep it balanced. When the door opens, the cables wrap around the drums; when it closes, they unwind. Over time, cables can fray, rust, or stretch from regular use and exposure to moisture.
Most cables are designed to last for thousands of open and close cycles, but they can wear out sooner if the door isn’t maintained or if the springs are out of balance. Regularly inspecting and replacing worn cables helps prevent sudden failures and keeps your family, vehicles, and property safe.]
- Door hangs unevenly or appears crooked.
- Frayed or broken cables visible along the sides of the door.

- Door slams shut or drops too quickly because cables stretched or snapped.
