But when the cables and tracks are out of whack, it's more like nails on a chalkboard. Not only is this racket unbearable but it can also leave you stranded either inside or outside your garage.
Cables might seem tough as nails, but they're not immune to wear and tear. They shoulder the hefty weight of the door day in and day out which means they can fray or snap faster than you'd think. A snapped cable is an open invitation for your garage door to quit working at any moment—and usually at the worst possible time.So what gives with these pesky cables? Well, rust never sleeps—it corrodes cables until they throw in the towel. Or maybe your pulleys have gone rogue and started fraying those wires one by one.If you hear a sudden 'twang' sound from your garage that wasn't there before, chances are good that it’s game over for one of those metal lifelines holding up your door.
Your tracks guide your garage door smoothly along its path—unless they're bent or misaligned; then all bets are off. It’s like trying to slide down a waterslide with kinks—it just doesn’t work. The result? Your poor motor grinds away while nothing moves—or worse: everything comes crashing down.Bent tracks aren't always obvious to spot unless you know where to look (hint: check near wheel hubs). If something seems off-kilter when watching the rollers move during operation—that's probably where trouble’s brewing.
