Garage door cables are essential for helping springs lift and lower the garage door safely. When a cable snaps, the garage door can become unbalanced, jammed, or unsafe to operate. Many Melbourne homes across Glen Huntly, Caulfield, Bentleigh, Carnegie, and surrounding suburbs experience cable issues due to wear, corrosion, poor alignment, or damaged springs.
Garage door systems from B&D, Steel-Line, and Gliderol may eventually require cable replacements after years of daily use. Operating the garage door after a cable snaps can also place additional strain on Merlin and ATA opener systems.
Because garage door cables operate under high tension, repairs should always be handled by trained professionals. OzGuard provides professional garage door cable repairs and replacements throughout the City of Glen Eira, City of Monash, and City of Kingston, helping Melbourne homeowners restore safe and reliable garage door operation.
