The Lifting Cables

Contrary to popular belief, the lifting mechanism of your door has little to do with the garage door opener. It’s actually the garage door springs that Somerset County homeowners can thank for the smooth, effortless way the door is lifted up and tucked away into the ceiling of the garage. But the springs themselves are not connected directly to the door. Instead, they’re attached to pulleys or drums with cables that transfer the energy of the springs to the task of lifting the door. Typically, there is one “lifting” cable on each side of the door. If either of these cables break, the door will raise and lower unevenly, placing extra strain on the system and eventually causing it to fail completely — often at the worst possible time. Regular inspections and timely cable replacement are key to avoiding these dangerous malfunctions.

The Safety Cables

Safety cables are the cables you hope you never have to thank for saving your bacon. The safety cable extends from the door frame through the extension spring to the other end where it attaches to the hook screw that holds the spring. If the extension spring breaks, the safety cable prevents the pieces from whipping around and potentially killing someone or causing grave bodily harm. Keeping the safety cables in good condition is important so that, should the day come when you actually need them, they’re there for you. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn or frayed cables can mean the difference between a close call and a catastrophic accident, making them one of the most critical — yet often overlooked — components of your garage door system.
