Garage Door Cable Repair

Garage door cables lift the full weight of the door, and a frayed or snapped cable is dangerous. The door should stay closed until it is repaired.

We replace both cables as a pair, because a new cable against a worn one pulls the door out of line and causes the door to bind.

Cables weaken over time even without a visible break, so we inspect them as part of a service and replace them before they fail.

If you are not sure what is wrong, describe what you see and we will help you work out the right next step. Call 818-278-1102.

Signs to look for

If any of these sound familiar, the door is telling you something. A technician can confirm what has failed.

  • A cable is frayed, kinked, or hanging loose.
  • The door lifts higher on one side than the other.
  • The door has stopped lifting altogether.

Common questions

Yes. Describe what the door is doing, or is failing to do, and we will help you work out the likely cause before anyone is booked.

If the door itself is sound, a repair is usually the sensible route. If several panels, the springs, and the tracks are all failing at once, replacing the door can make more sense. We explain both so you can choose.

The technician inspects the door, explains what has failed, and carries out the agreed work. You can ask questions at any point.

Yes. The area around the door is cleared and covered before work starts, and the door is tested before we leave.

A failed spring usually announces itself with a sharp bang from above the door, and the door then feels very heavy or will not lift at all. If that has happened, leave the door closed and call us.

A door that is running well can still benefit from having its springs, cables, rollers and hinges checked, and from having moving parts lubricated. It is a sensible way to catch wear before it becomes a breakdown.

It helps to clear the driveway in front of the door and to park any vehicle outside the garage, so there is room to work and to test the door through a full cycle.
