Even the most DIY-friendly homeowners should avoid fixing a broken garage door cable alone. Most of the time, your garage door cables are under incredible tension.

Don't let a faulty garage door cable annoy you each time you have to enter or leave your home. Our team responds quickly, often the same day, so you can get back to a door that opens and closes the way it should.
Garage Door Cable Repairs
Like every other part of your garage door system, your cables will erode over time. This process can be accelerated by other factors like rusted metal that eat away at your cable fibers and damage to other parts of your garage door.
When you notice fraying, slack, or a cable that has come off the drum, our technicians safely reset the cables, inspect the drums and bearings, and address the underlying cause so the issue doesn't return.
Garage Door Cable Replacements
There are two types of cables found in a garage door system. The first is called a retaining cable, also known as a safety cable. The second is the lifting cable that works with your springs to raise and lower the door.
Because both lifting cables share the load, we replace them in pairs to maintain even lift and proper balance across the door.
Wear and Tear vs. Necessary Repair
The moment you see any visual damage to your garage door cables, be sure to contact us immediately by calling (224) 306-2985 or clicking here.
Catching cable wear early protects the rest of your system and helps you avoid a sudden failure that can leave your door stuck or unsafe to operate.
