Garage door cable issues
Many factors can cause problems with garage door cables. Your garage door is in constant use. Every day its cables have to lift it and lower it safely while opening and closing. Because of that, old cables can snap as they wear away.
Some cables or their parts are made of metal. Your garage door is constantly exposed to the weather. Whether it is intense sun or heavy rain, they fulfill their function. Over time, especially if your garage tends to gather humidity, cables can gather rust that can cause problems with opening or even break the door cables.
Sometimes your cables can get jammed in the mechanism, and because of that, you are not going to be able to open or close your garage doors. Another reason for this problem can be unwound cables.

Types of Garage Door Cables
To lift and lower a garage door securely, there are two types of cables installed in each mechanism. They play an important function, and if one of the cables snaps, the door is going to stop working properly.
Lift Cables
The lift cables are connected to the garage door torsion springs and are attached to the bottom part of the door. They are responsible for lifting the weight of the panels and allowing you to open your garage door.
You may notice a problem with the lift cables if your door doesn’t want to open or close or is jamming when you try to do it. Specialists from A-Team Garage Door Repair can quickly identify all underlying issues and provide a solution. They can safely repair or remove broken cables.
Retaining Cables
Retaining cables are security cables located inside the garage door extension springs. Springs are important for the secure lifting and lowering of the doors, but when they get broken, they can create danger and even cause death if they pop out of the door at high speed. The main role of retaining cables is to prevent the springs from flying away from the door if they break.
When this type of garage door cable breaks, you may hear some squeaky noises. Moreover, your door mechanism can automatically stop working when opening. In this case, it is a good thing, as if the door moves, the spring can pop out, causing tremendous damage to your property or even leading to serious injuries.
