FAQ
Frequently Asked
Questions
Clear answers to the most common garage door questions, from repairs and installations to maintenance and emergency service.
Is it safe to open my garage door if a cable has snapped?
No, you should never attempt to operate a garage door with a broken cable. The cables bear the immense tension of the springs and the weight of the door. When one snaps, the door becomes unbalanced and can slam down unexpectedly or become jammed in the tracks. Attempting to move it manually can result in serious injury or further damage to your opener and track system. Please contact us immediately for safe, professional assistance.
Do you replace both cables even if only one is broken?
Yes, it is standard industry practice to replace both cables simultaneously. Since both cables operate under the same tension and cycle count, if one has failed due to wear or fatigue, the other is likely near the end of its lifespan as well. Replacing both ensures your door remains perfectly balanced, lifts evenly, and prevents you from paying for a second service call in the near future.
How quickly can you fix a broken garage door cable in Cedar Rapids?
We understand that a broken cable leaves your home or business vulnerable and your car trapped. Because our local technicians drive trucks fully stocked with high-strength replacement cables, we can typically resolve these emergencies in a single visit. We prioritize readiness and aim to get your door secured and operational as fast as possible, minimizing disruption to your day.
What type of replacement cables do you use?
We use durable, heavy-duty galvanized steel cables designed to withstand the frequent lifting cycles of your specific door model. Galvanized steel provides excellent resistance against rust and corrosion, which is essential for handling the humid summers and snowy winters in Eastern Iowa. During installation, we also level the bottom seal and verify proper tension to ensure the new cables perform reliably for years to come.
How do I know if my cables are worn before they snap?
Visual inspection is key to preventing an emergency. Look for fraying (small wire strands sticking out like a bad haircut), rust buildup, or kinks in the line. You might also notice the door looking uneven or “cocked” in the opening, or hear screeching noises during operation. If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule a service appointment with Adams Door, Inc. immediately to replace them before they fail completely.
