How to Adjust Garage Door Cables

Posted on July 3, 2022July 31, 2022 by Mike

If your garage door isn’t working properly, it may be because the cables are out of adjustment. Here’s how to adjust them:

  1. Locate the cable drum on each side of the door. There should be a small hole in the drum where you can insert a screwdriver to release the cable.
  2. Insert the screwdriver into the hole and turn it counterclockwise to release the cable.
  3. Pull the cable out of the drum and adjust it to the correct length.
  4. Reinsert the cable into the drum and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
  5. Repeat these steps on the other side of the door.
