What a Bad Garage Door Pulley Looks Like
Pulleys are most common on extension spring systems. When a pulley wears out, binds up, or breaks, it can cause the cable to fray or slip, and the door may move unevenly. These problems can get worse quickly—especially if the door is used daily.
Common Symptoms
- Squealing, grinding, or loud rolling noise
- Door lifts unevenly or looks “crooked”
- Cables appear frayed, loose, or off the wheel
- Door jerks, binds, or stops mid-travel
- Visible worn pulley wheel or wobble
Safety Note (Important)
If you suspect pulley or cable damage, stop using the door. Cables and springs are under high tension. Forcing the door can cause additional damage or injury. Call a professional for safe repair.
Our Pulley Repair Process
When we service a pulley issue in Braintree, we don’t just “swap the wheel.” We inspect the full lift system to keep the door running safely.
- Inspect pulley condition and alignment
- Check cables for fraying, stretch, or slipping
- Inspect extension springs (if applicable) and safety cables
- Evaluate door balance and track alignment
- Test door travel and opener force settings
If we find related issues (like worn cables or a failing spring), we’ll explain options clearly before any work is done.

Garage Door Pulley Repair FAQs
Is a pulley problem dangerous?
It can be. A failing pulley can damage cables and cause uneven lifting. If the cable slips or snaps, the door can drop unexpectedly.
How do I know if my door uses pulleys?
Most pulley systems are on extension spring doors. If you see springs running along the horizontal tracks, your setup may use pulleys.
Can I lubricate or “fix” a pulley myself?
We don’t recommend DIY repairs because pulleys, cables, and springs are under tension. It’s safest to have a technician inspect and repair it.
Do pulley issues mean I also need cables or springs replaced?
Not always—but pulley wear often happens alongside cable wear or spring fatigue. We’ll inspect the full system and explain options clearly.
