About This Service

Garage door cables work with the springs to lift and lower the door. When a cable snaps or frays, the door may hang crooked, come off its tracks, or stop working. Cable replacement requires proper tools and training because the system is under spring tension. Our technicians inspect the cable system, replace damaged cables, balance the door, and test its operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my garage door cable broke?

Signs include: the door is hanging crooked or lower on one side, you hear a loud bang followed by the door not opening, or you can visually see a wire dangling from the drum or coiled on the ground.

Should I replace both cables at the same time?

The technician will inspect both cables. Replacing both may be appropriate when they show similar wear.

Can I use my garage door with a broken cable?

Do not operate a door with a broken cable. Uneven tension can pull it off the tracks or allow it to move unexpectedly. Call for repair.

How long does cable replacement take?

Repair work is completed the same day the technician arrives, including balancing and testing.

What door sizes do you service?

We service single-car, double-car, and commercial garage doors. Call with your door size so we can confirm the cable requirements.
