Our Cable Replacement Services

Cable Inspection and Diagnosis

We begin by thoroughly inspecting your garage door cables to check for fraying, damage, or breakage. If necessary, we conduct a full diagnosis of the entire system to assess the cables' condition and recommend the best course of action, whether it’s simple repair or a full replacement.

Single Cable Replacement

If only one cable is damaged or worn, we can replace it individually, ensuring the system is properly balanced and operates efficiently. After replacing the broken cable, we adjust the door for smooth movement, helping to prevent future issues and ensuring long-term, reliable performance.

Full Cable System Replacement

For doors with significant wear or multiple damaged cables, we recommend a full cable system replacement. This ensures that the door operates smoothly and remains in balance, preventing future breakdowns and ensuring the entire system works optimally for long-term functionality and safety.

Cable Adjustments

Over time, cables can become loose or misaligned, leading to uneven door operation. We perform precise cable adjustments to restore proper tension and alignment, ensuring smooth, even movement while reducing strain on other components, improving the overall function of your garage door.

Cable failures can happen unexpectedly, leaving your garage door non-functional. We offer emergency cable replacement services, responding quickly to fix the issue. Our technicians work fast to restore safe, reliable operation, so you can get your garage door back to normal as soon as possible.

Preventive Cable Maintenance

To avoid the need for costly replacements, we offer preventive cable maintenance services, including regular inspections, lubrication, and tension adjustments. This proactive approach helps extend the life of your cables, reduces the risk of unexpected failures, and ensures the entire garage door system remains in peak condition.

frequently asked questions

  • How do I know if my garage door cables need replacing?

    Signs of damaged or broken cables include difficulty opening or closing the door, uneven door movement, or loud noises during operation. If you notice these issues, it’s important to have your cables inspected and replaced promptly to prevent further damage and restore smooth operation to your garage door.

  • How long do garage door cables last?

    Garage door cables typically last 7–10 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. Regular inspections can identify early wear and tear, allowing for timely replacements. By monitoring cable condition, you can prevent unexpected breakages and avoid the need for more costly repairs or replacements later.

  • Can I replace the garage door cables myself?

    Replacing garage door cables is dangerous due to the high tension they are under. Attempting to replace cables without professional training can result in injury or further damage. It’s safest to hire a professional to handle cable replacement and ensure the job is done properly, safely, and efficiently.

  • How much does cable replacement cost?

    The cost of cable replacement depends on the type of door, the complexity of the job, and whether you need to replace one or both cables. We provide transparent pricing and offer detailed estimates before beginning any work, ensuring you know the full cost upfront without hidden fees.

  • How long does a cable replacement take?

    Most cable replacements can be completed within 1-2 hours, depending on the door’s size and the extent of the damage. Our skilled technicians work quickly and efficiently, ensuring your garage door is fully operational and safe without unnecessary delays, restoring functionality as soon as possible.

  • Will my garage door work with only one replaced cable?

    It’s crucial to replace both cables if one is broken or damaged. Using only one new cable can cause imbalance, putting additional strain on other components like the opener and tracks. We assess your system and ensure both cables are replaced to restore proper balance and safe operation.

  • What causes garage door cables to break?

    Garage door cables can break due to regular wear and tear, improper tension, poor maintenance, or exposure to extreme weather. Cables are under constant stress, and lack of lubrication or old, frayed cables can lead to breakage. Regular maintenance helps identify issues before they result in a broken cable.

  • Can I still use my garage door if the cable is broken?

    It is unsafe to operate a garage door with a broken cable. A damaged cable causes imbalance, putting extra strain on the opener and other components. This can lead to further damage or even injury. It’s best to replace the broken cable immediately to restore safe, proper operation.
