Garage doors are more than just a protective barrier for your vehicle. The cables and tracks are two essential elements in the complex system of a garage door, ensuring it functions properly.If your garage door is stuck halfway open or closed, it's likely that the cables and tracks are to blame. But don't worry - Jacobs Garage Door Repair is here to help.
Your garage door operates by running along tracks guided by high-tension cables. When everything works correctly, it’s like poetry in motion; but when something goes wrong—like frayed cables or misaligned tracks—it can lead to some serious headaches.This isn’t just about convenience either—a malfunctioning garage door can pose safety risks too. So let’s dive into what makes these parts so vital for your garage door operation.
The heavy lifting (literally.) in any overhead garage door system falls primarily on the springs and cables. The cables' primary job is to balance the weight of the hefty metal or wooden panels as they rise up and down.Over time though, even sturdy steel wires will start showing signs of wear: think rusted sections, snapped strands – stuff you definitely don’t want happening while trying to get out for work in the morning.
Meanwhile, issues with your track could stem from anything from dirt build-up to physical damage. Imagine running a race but with hurdles in your lane—that’s what it's like for a garage door trying to operate on damaged or obstructed tracks.It may seem tempting to get out the ladder and hammer, thinking you can easily fix these issues yourself, but that might end up doing more harm than good. That's where professional help comes into play.
