Think of your garage door cables and tracks like the veins and arteries in your body - they need to be clear and intact for everything to work smoothly. When these components are off-kilter, it can lead to a world of frustration with doors that won't open or close right. But don't worry, at Hacham Garage Doors we've seen it all when it comes to tangled cables and bent tracks.
If you're hearing strange noises or the door is jerking as it moves, chances are there's an issue with your cable or track. Maybe you’ve spotted some loose wires hanging around like spaghetti on a fork – yep, that’s a tell-tale sign too. Or perhaps your garage door has developed its own version of limping by getting stuck halfway up because the tracks have gone rogue.Sometimes these problems sneak up on us quietly; other times they scream for attention during our morning rush out the driveway. Either way, catching them early can save you from bigger headaches down the road.
Before we start fixing anything, let's do some sleuthing first. At Hacham Garage Doors we'll give those pesky parts a thorough inspection to pinpoint exactly where things went south. The Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association (DASMA), suggests regular maintenance checks which align perfectly with our mantra here — better safe than sorry.We’ll look over each inch of cable for wear-and-tear signs like fraying or rusting that could spell trouble if ignored. As for tracks? We’re eyeballing them for any bends or misalignments that might throw off your door’s groove.
All set after diagnosing? Great. Now onto turning those frowns upside down...or should I say straightening those tracks back out. Our pros will adjust, realign, and tighten what needs tending so every part sings in harmony again.If replacement is needed—no sweat—we handle common repairs such as swapping old cables with new ones robust enough to take on daily ups-and-downs without breaking into an opera solo about their woes.
Maintenance isn’t just about fixing things when they break; it’s also giving them love before disaster strikes—a bit like dating advice but less complicated. Regular tune-ups involve lubricating moving parts so they glide smoother, checking for any wear and tear that could cause problems down the line. Think of it as preventative care—taking steps now to avoid big headaches later. Just like you wouldn't ignore a check-engine light in your car, don't overlook the small stuff with your gear.
