Don't neglect the lift cables while performing garage door maintenance
These units are often forgotten about, but they are just as important as the springs. You should inspect both cables from top to bottom. Look for frayed sections and for cuts, major or minor ones. If you notice any of these signs, you should have the damaged cabled replaced as soon as possible. If it snaps it may force the garage door to get off track.
Make sure your extension springs are attached to safety cables
Garage door extension springs (which are the type that stretches and contracts and is installed perpendicular to the door) should be interlaced with safety cables as they will save you from accidents. These cables prevent the springs from flying off when they break, so their role is incredibly important. If you don't have these units installed, contact our team to have them added.
