Cables operate under spring tension
Garage door cables and springs work together to lift the door. Cable repair should include checking the spring, drums and door balance rather than simply putting the cable back in place.
Avoid forcing the door
Running the opener against a jammed or crooked door can damage tracks, rollers, panels and opener components. Leave the door where it is until the lifting system is repaired.
Frequently asked questions
Can a broken cable be repaired without replacing the door?
Usually. If the door and tracks are otherwise serviceable, the lifting components can often be repaired independently.
Why did the cable come off the drum?
Possible causes include spring failure, slack cable, misalignment, hardware wear or the door becoming uneven during travel.
