Garage Door Cable Repair

Snapped or frayed cables are one of the most common reasons a garage door gets stuck. Our technicians carry replacement cables for most door models and can have your door running again the same day.

Why Garage Door Cables Break

Garage door cables work alongside the springs to lift and lower your door safely. Over time, cables wear thin from constant tension, rust, and friction against pulleys. When one snaps, the door can drop suddenly or hang at an angle, creating a serious safety hazard.

Attempting a DIY cable repair is dangerous because the remaining cable and springs are under extreme tension. Our certified technicians have the tools and training to replace cables safely and efficiently.

Cable Services We Provide

Broken cable replacement for both torsion and extension spring systems. We match the correct cable gauge and length for your specific door.

Frayed cable inspection to catch cables before they snap. If we spot wear during any visit, we'll let you know.

Cable drum and pulley repair since damaged hardware causes cables to slip off track and fail prematurely.

Full cable system overhaul for older doors where both cables, drums, and hardware need replacing at once.

Signs You Need Cable Repair

Door Hangs Crooked

One side of the door is higher than the other, indicating a cable has snapped on one side.

Loose Cable Visible

You can see a cable hanging loose or coiled on the floor near the bottom brackets.

Door Won't Open or Close

The door is completely stuck or slams shut unexpectedly when you try to operate it.

Grinding or Scraping Noise

A fraying cable rubbing against the drum or wall creates grinding sounds during operation.

Visible Rust or Fraying

Cables with visible rust, kinks, or strands separating are at risk of snapping without warning.

Door Falls Too Fast

The door drops faster than normal when closing, meaning the cables aren't controlling the descent properly.
