Thermal Cracking: Spring and Lift Cable Safety Tips! Shamrock Overhead Door, Inc. provides expert garage door installation, service and repair for residential and commercial customers in the Boston-South Shore area. Winter time is our busiest time of year as we see an increase in calls for broken springs, snapped cables, and other key parts of the everyday garage doors. What leads to these parts failing so suddenly is what's known as, "thermal cracking." Thermal cracking is a common issue that arises during the colder months due to the sudden change in temperature. This causes all of the steel parts on a garage door to expand and contract at different rates, which can lead to springs and lift cables breaking suddenly. So be sure to keep an eye on your garage door and if it's been a few (4-7 years) since you've replaced your springs and cables, we highly recommend doing so! Shamrock Overhead Door, Inc. is here to help so give us a call today! #ShamrockOverheadDoor #ThermalCracking #GarageDoorRepair #GarageDoorService #Boston
