Toronto Garage Door Cables Repair & Replacement
Garage door cables play a crucial role in the operation of your garage door. They work in tandem with the springs to effectively lift and lower the door. When the garage door opener is activated, the cables, typically made of strong steel, wind around a drum at the top of the door. As the cables wind, they create tension in the springs, which store energy. This stored energy is what allows the door to be lifted smoothly and effortlessly.
As the garage door opens, the cables continue to wind around the drum, holding the tension in the springs and counterbalancing the weight of the door. This counterbalance ensures that the door stays in position when fully open. When it’s time to close the door, the cables gradually release the tension from the springs, allowing the door to lower gently and close securely. It’s essential to maintain and inspect the garage door cables regularly to ensure they are in good condition and properly adjusted, as damaged or worn-out cables can pose a safety risk and affect the smooth operation of the door.
