Garage Door Cable Repair Services
Garage door cables are simple components included in almost every garage door make and model. From torsion spring garage doors to extension spring garage doors, cables play a vital role in connecting the spring action with the garage door weight.
Garage door cables can become damaged or require replacement like any mechanical component. There are typical warning signs to check for with garage door cable replacement and repair, such as worn cables, un-equal alignment, and jolty operation. Garage door lifting cables are not expensive products, but the labor associated in proper replacement can be intense. Also, replacing garage door cables/springs yourself is ill-advised, as the energy stored in garage door springs makes replacement hazardous, to both the garage door system, but also for personal well-being, in the event of unsafe practices in repairs.
If all of this is a bit over your head… don’t be concerned, the professionals at Q Garage Door Service service all makes and models of garage doors, and offer 24/7 service for the Greater Toronto Area, Simcoe County, London, Guelph, Hamilton, the Kawartha Lakes area, and the Muskoka district.
If you are in need of immediate garage door services, please call us. For all other non-urgent requirements you can request a quote or consultation.
How do garage door cables function?
Garage door cables attach to the garage door itself, are ran in-line to a drum on either side of the garage door, and attach in the track, and loop around the drum. With operation of the garage door, opening and closing, the cable plays a vital role to facilitate spring action, and utilize garage door spring potential energy to aid in operation. Different garage door setups may require different cable types, strengths, and cable drum types, but overall, the process for inspection, replacement, and repairs is pretty simple.

Why do garage door cables need to be replaced or repaired?
Garage door cables are just metal wires and like any mechanical action, there is a lifecyle on the product. As the metal wire or cable gets used in the garage door’s operation, it can weaken over time. This can lead to problems such as fraying, or even snapped cables.
A snapped cable, or broken cable, can be a serious issue. A broken cable can result in garage door misalignment, off-track roller operation, or total unbalanced operation. Anyway you look at it, serious damage to your garage door system resulting from a broken cable can be much more than the cost of outright replacing the cable. Extension spring garage door cables tie from the cable drum to the spring, generally parallel with the track and the floor. Torsion spring garage door cables tie from the garage door to the cable drum attached with torsion shaft, vertical with your wall. Either way garage door cables can break and then they need to be replaced by a professional, as there still could be tension with the spring or other cable so safe work is crucial.
What other components are related with garage door cables?
When you call on the professional team at Q Garage Door Service, we will inspect your garage door cables, or replace them in entirety, but also inspect all attached componentry. This can include the cable drums, the garage door springs, the garage door tracks, the operation of smooth function of the garage door, the alignment/balance of the door. The cable drum is essential for torsion spring systems in grabbing the cable during the opening process.
These components and factors can affect the quality, integrity, and function of a garage door cable so it is important to look at the whole garage door system, even if all you call us out for is a cable replacement.

Take Caution if Looking to Replace Garage Door Cables Yourself
While a garage door cable might seem like an easy replacement, understand that this component is integral and tied to the garage door spring operation for torsion spring garage doors and extension spring garage doors. If you have to do a lifting replacement for your garage door, chances are you will have to get involved with the spring. Garage door springs can hold a tremendous amount of energy and so the work associated with replacing cables/springs should only be done by a trained professional. Doing a garage door cable replacement by yourself is not advised, as improperly handling the springs can damage the garage door system itself, or cause injury upon yourself.
Always consult the advice and technical expertise of a licensed professional garage door company for any garage door cable replacement. If your cables need replacement, we will tell you, for any and all service calls such as opener installations, opener repairs, track alignments, or even full garage door replacements.
