How To Tell You Need Garage Door Cable Installation or Repair
Visibly Broken or Frayed Cables

When one cable breaks or comes off its drum, the door will open unevenly, appearing crooked or tilted.
Door Jammed or Stuck
A door that suddenly jams, sticks, or won't move is often experiencing cable problems.
Unusual Noises During Operation
Grinding, scraping, or banging noises can indicate a cable that's come off its drum or is dragging.
Door Falls Rapidly
If your door slams shut or falls faster than normal, a broken cable may be the cause.
Cables Appear Loose or Hanging
Slack cables that hang loosely indicate adjustment problems or imminent failure.
Garage Door Off Its Track
Cable failures often cause doors to come off their tracks, creating a dangerous situation.
