How Garage Door Cables Work
Most modern garage door systems feature a cable and pulley system. When the door is down, the cables are fully extended. When the garage door is opened, the pulley system winds up the cables, lifting the door to the ceiling. When the door is closed, the cables are unwound, and the door slowly lowers.
Garage door cables are vital to the movement of a garage door. If the cables are damaged or disconnected from the pulley system, the door won’t move properly, which can be a safety hazard. When anything is wrong with the cables, calling a professional for help is essential.

Types of Garage Door Cables
There are several different types of garage door cabling systems on the market. Arctic Air can work on any of the most common systems, including:
- Torsion cables:Â These cables wind up around a pulley system attached to the roof of the garage. They’re a common style of garage door cable.
- Extension cables:Â These are often part of an extension spring system where the door is lifted and lowered on horizontal tracks. They’re usually thinner and longer than torsion cables.
- Flexible cables:Â These cables are made of rubber or vinyl, allowing for use with curved or arched garage doors. They can be used in addition to other types of cables.
- Galvanized cables:Â These cables are made of galvanized steel and are made to resist rust and corrosion. They’re often seen in garages affected by high humidity or saltwater near the ocean.
No matter the type of cables you need, we’ve got a solution that fits. Call 732-455-9110 to schedule garage door cable services in Old Bridge.
