Why Garage Door Cables Are So Important
Think of your garage door cables as the muscles of the system. They work alongside the springs to lift and lower the heavy door smoothly. Without them, the door becomes unstable, unbalanced, and dangerous.
Garage door cables handle hundreds of pounds of tension every day. Over time, Florida’s humid climate, salty coastal air, and constant use cause them to fray, rust, or snap. When they fail, you need professional help—fast.
Common Signs You Need Cable Replacement
Wondering if your cables are on their last leg? Look for these red flags:
- Door hanging unevenly – one side higher than the other.
- Loose or frayed cables near the drum or bottom brackets.
- Door slamming shut instead of closing smoothly.
- Grinding or scraping noises when the door moves.
- Cables completely snapped – leaving the door stuck open or closed.
Our Cable Replacement Process
Replacing cables isn’t a DIY job—it requires expertise and the right tools. Here’s how our technicians handle it safely and efficiently:
- Full Inspection – We check springs, tracks, and rollers to see if additional repairs are needed.
- Release Tension Safely – Garage door springs are under extreme force; we release them carefully.
- Remove Old Cables – Worn, frayed, or broken cables are taken out.
- Install New Cables – We use high-quality, rust-resistant cables built for Florida weather.
- Balance & Test the Door – The system is adjusted, lubricated, and tested for smooth, safe operation.
Types of Garage Door Cables We Replace
Not all cables are the same. Rocket carries and installs replacements for every type of garage system:
- Torsion Cables – Mounted on the drums above the door.
- Extension Spring Cables – Run alongside the door and attach to the bottom brackets.
- Safety Cables – Prevent extension springs from flying loose if they snap.
- Specialty Cables – For custom or commercial garage doors.
Why Cables Fail in Florida
Our state is tough on garage doors. Some of the biggest culprits include:
- Humidity & Salt Air – Causes rust in coastal cities like St. Petersburg, Cocoa Beach, and Vero Beach.
- Hurricane-Force Winds – Place extra strain on doors in storm-prone areas like Titusville and New Smyrna Beach.
- Heavy Daily Use – Families in The Villages open and close their doors 5–10 times a day.
- Poor Maintenance – Lack of lubrication and inspections accelerates wear.
