Garage Door Cable Repair Des Moines WA FAQ
How do I know if my garage door cable is damaged?
Signs include frayed strands, rust, loose cable, a cable off the drum, scraping sounds, uneven lifting, or one side of the door sitting lower than the other.
Can I keep using the door with a frayed cable?
No. A frayed cable can snap under tension and make the door unsafe. The cable path, drum, bracket, and door balance should be inspected.
Why did my garage door cable come off the drum?
A cable may come off the drum because of spring imbalance, worn parts, impact, loose tension, crooked movement, or a door that was forced during operation.
Does cable repair include balance testing?
Yes. After cable repair, the door should be checked for level movement, proper cable seating, drum alignment, and opener strain.
