Do not try to open your garage door with a broken spring. A door without working springs puts full weight on the opener motor and can cause serious damage or injury. Call us — we'll have it fixed same day.
Do not use your garage door with a broken cable.
A broken cable puts massive uneven stress on the door, springs and opener, and can cause the door to drop suddenly.
Cable Replacement & Retensioning
Garage door cables are the steel-braided wires that connect your door to the spring system and lift drum. When a cable snaps or frays, the door becomes unbalanced, unsafe, and often won’t open at all. We replace both cables and retension the entire system — not just the broken side.

Standard Lift Cables
Run from the bottom brackets up to the drums on a standard torsion system. The most common cable we replace.
Extension Safety Cables
Run through extension springs to catch them if they snap. We replace them with the springs.
High-Lift & Vertical-Lift
Longer cables for high-ceiling and vertical-track doors. Cut to length and sized correctly.
Commercial Heavy-Duty
Higher-rated cable for heavy and insulated doors. Matched to your door's weight.

We Always Replace Both
We always replace both cables — even if only one broke. Cables wear out at the same rate. If one snapped, the other will follow soon. One service visit is always cheaper than two.
Signs Your Spring Is Broken
Visible Fraying
Cable looks worn, kinked or has broken strands — it needs replacing before it snaps.
Door Hangs Crooked
A snapped cable often leaves one corner of the door hanging lower than the other.
Door Won't Open
The door won't lift, or lifts unevenly. A broken cable is a common cause.
Loud Snap Sound
A cable breaking sounds like a sudden pop or bang from the garage.
Cable Off the Drum
Loose cable slack near the drum — it has jumped off and the door can jam.
Door Jumps the Track
Cable failure can pull a roller out of the track. Don't force the door.
Cable Repair Step by Step
Secure the Door
We clamp the door in place and disengage the opener before any work begins.
Release Spring Tension
All tension is released safely — a critical step that has to be done correctly before cable work.
Remove Old Cables
Both old cables come off the drums. We inspect drums, tracks, rollers and brackets for wear.
Install New Steel-Braided Cables
New aircraft-grade cables are wound onto the drums and secured at the bottom brackets.
Retension, Balance & Test
Springs are retensioned, the door balanced, and the full system tested manually and with the opener.
Secure the Door
