Safety: This Part Works With Spring Tension
Parts of the counterbalance system are loaded by the springs whenever the door is closed.
- Never loosen bottom brackets, cable drums or lift cables on a closed door with wound springs. They hold the full spring tension; unwind the springs or have a technician do the work.
- Clamp the door in place before working on it.
- Replace one part at a time and keep hands clear of the drums and cables.
If you are not trained in garage door spring work, have a technician carry out the repair.
Signs It Needs Replacing
Broken strands, usually near the bottom bracket.
A cable hangs loose when the door is closed.
One side sits lower than the other.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why replace both cables?
Cables wear at the same rate and must be the same length to lift the door level. A new cable next to a stretched one leaves the door crooked.
Is cable replacement dangerous?
Yes. The cables carry the full spring tension. The springs must be unwound before cables are removed, so this is usually a technician job.
