Why Garage Door Cable Replacement Matters
​
✔ Garage door cables are critical safety components that support and control the full weight of your door during operation.
✔ In residential systems, cables work directly with the springs to ensure smooth, balanced opening and closing.
✔ Frayed, stretched, or broken cables can cause the door to jam, tilt unevenly, or drop without warning.
✔ Damaged cables often lead to garage doors going off track and placing additional strain on springs and openers.
✔ Professional garage door cable replacement in Ottawa protects your family, your property, and prevents costly damage to the entire system.
01
Prevents Dangerous Door Failure
Garage door cables support the weight of the door as it opens and closes.
If a cable breaks, the door can:
-
Drop suddenly
-
Hang unevenly
-
Come off track
-
Damage panels or tracks
Replacing worn or frayed cables before they fail reduces the risk of injury and prevents serious damage to your door system.
03
Prevents Larger Repairs
A damaged cable doesn’t just affect the cable itself.
It puts extra strain on:
-
Torsion or extension springs
-
Rollers and tracks
-
The garage door opener
Ignoring early cable wear can lead to more expensive repairs down the road. Replacing them early helps protect the entire system.
