A garage door is a team sport. Springs provide lift. Cables transfer that lifting force. Rollers guide the door smoothly in the tracks. If one part is off, the others work harder.
| Part | What it does | What trouble looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Springs | Counterbalance the door weight | Door feels heavy, door slams, loud bang |
| Cables | Keep lift even on both sides | Door goes up crooked, cable frays or loosens |
| Rollers | Reduce friction in the track | Squealing, wobble, rough travel |
When a door is out of balance, the opener tries to lift too much. That is how openers wear down early. We prefer to make the door do the door job, and the opener do the opener job.
