Cable Repair

Lift cables and safety cables

Lift cables work alongside your springs to move the door smoothly. A frayed or broken cable creates a safety hazard and prevents proper operation. We inspect both lift and safety cables, replace where required, and re-tension to factory specification.

Common Questions

Cable Repair: what homeowners ask

How much does garage door cable repair cost?

Cable repair is quoted upfront based on your door. Replacement drums and cables are available as an installed hardware set, and most cable repairs are completed in one to one-and-a-half hours in a single visit.

What causes a garage door cable to break or come off?

The usual causes are fraying from age and corrosion, a broken spring that lets the cable go slack and jump the drum, a misaligned track, or the door hitting an obstruction on the way down. If a cable is off, the door often hangs crooked — stop using it and call us.
