When Should Garage Door Cables Be Replaced?

Garage door cables work together with springs to safely lift and lower the door.

Signs that cables may require replacement include:

- Frayed cable strands

- Rust or corrosion

- Loose cables

- Uneven door movement

- Door hanging on one side

Damaged cables can suddenly fail and create safety hazards.

Replacing worn cables helps maintain smooth and reliable garage door operation.
