The lift cables work with the springs to raise and lower your door safely. A technician replaces frayed or snapped cables and checks the whole counterbalance system.
What the cables do
Steel lift cables connect the bottom of the door to the spring system, carrying the door's weight as it moves. Over time they fray, rust, or snap, which can leave the door crooked, stuck, or unsafe. Because cables work under tension alongside the springs, replacement is a job for a trained technician.
Balanced and safe
When replacing cables, a technician inspects the springs, drums, and rollers to ensure the door is properly balanced afterward. A door that is out of balance strains the opener and wears parts prematurely. Correct cable installation restores even, reliable movement.
