Common Queries About Garage Door Cable Repair Services

Q1

What is the most common cause for garage door cables to come off?

People tend to store brooms, shovels, rakes, etc in a corner next to the garage door.  When bumped, oftentimes long handles will protrude into the pathway of the closing door.  When people push the button to close the door, the door hits the handle and this causes the cable to come off.  We advise people to either install a barricade so handles cannot fall into the pathway of the door OR relocate the handles.

Q2

Why is it so dangerous to attempt to repair garage door cables as a DYI'er?

The tension on the cable is not static, but spring loaded.  This means that the potential energy grows with the distance.  NEVER CUT A CABLE!!  Furthermore once the cable comes off the door is crooked and hanging at an angle.  Rollers can then fall out of the top section where the windows are and it's easy to break the window glass. 

Worse yet, oftentimes people panic and try to force the door closed for security reasons and can bend the door, rails, brackets, hinges, etc permanently. 

For your own sake, we highly recommend you use professional expertise when the cable comes off!

Q3

What additional steps do garage door experts typical take so as repair the fundamental cause?

Some of the hidden items to look for are:
1) Proper spring adjustment, so there is sufficient tension when the door is in the up position.
2.) Proper lubrication in different key areas that prevent cable wear and other problems areas that cause the cable to come off.
3) Check door for proper installation geometry and alignment.  It's surprising how many doors are not properly installed and causing cable problems.
