Every trip up and down puts friction and tension on your cable, the ordinary wear of daily use, and a frayed garage door cable often shows it just under the drum. Weakened springs add to it too, leaving the cable carrying more load than it was designed for. Moisture and salt can also rust the cable and weaken it over time. Whichever one wore yours down, our Cable Repair service takes on the damaged cable, and we handle Torsion Spring Replacement and Extension Spring Replacement when weak springs are behind it.
A cable that's only frayed gets the same answer as one off its drum: the door stays closed until it's repaired. Garage door cable repair is the job that ends that wait, and it's the one to call us for. With the door out of use until then, 🎟️ claim our emergency repair discount for the job.
A slack cable can look like a weekend fix. It isn't, because the springs and cables on your door hold enormous tension. Adjusting or replacing a cable is a technician's job, and the same goes for a door spring. Put the tools down and leave the cable as it sits for our Cable Repair technicians.
