Garage Door Cable Repair

 Garage door cables support and balance the full weight of your door. When a cable frays, slips, or breaks, the door can become crooked, jammed, or unsafe to operate. We repair and replace garage door cables so your door opens smoothly, stays level, and works safely again.

Why Cables Fail

Garage door cables wear out from constant tension and movement. Common causes include:

  • Normal wear and age
     
  • Rust or corrosion
     
  • Broken or weak springs
     
  • Poor door balance
     
  • Lack of maintenance
     

We inspect the full lift system to fix the cause, not just the symptom.
