Types of Garage Door Cables and Uses

Each garage door uses different types of garage door cables, depending on the type of garage door system. Most garage doors come with the following types of cables:

- Garage Door Lift Cables

A lift cable is what opens the garage door for you. These cables connect the spring system to the garage door. Broken lift cables are easy to spot since it causes the garage door to move out of place. We can replace these types of cables with a brand new one if they snapped, or repair the one you have if they just got tangled.

- Garage Door Retaining Cables

If you have an extension spring system, you must have retaining cables for your own safety. These cables work as a safety mechanism that prevents the extension springs from scattering if they break.

- Emergency Release Cable

This garage door cable allows homeowners to manually control the garage door without relying on the garage door spring mechanism.

- Garage Door Safety Cable

An extension garage door spring is made up of an extension spring, a safety or retaining cable, and a locking mechanism. This component acts as a backup by ensuring that the garage door spring does not slide down when the main garage door cable breaks.
