Understanding Garage Door Cables

Before you start with garage door cable replacement, you should know what these components do. When properly maintained, garage door cables help to balance the door. They work with the springs to help manage the door’s weight.

They usually run from the bottom of the garage door up the sides. They connect to different pulleys and springs. This setup makes opening and closing the door as smooth as possible.
