Garage door cables work alongside the springs to lift the full weight of your door. When one frays or snaps, the door becomes unsafe to operate.

Garage Door Cable Repair: Signs and Safety

Look for a door that hangs crooked, a visible loose or frayed cable, the door sticking on one side, or grinding noises. A snapped cable can let the door drop suddenly.

Why it’s a pro job

Cables are tied into the high-tension spring system, so replacing them safely requires the right tools and training. We replace both cables, re-spool the drums and re-balance the door — same day across Denver.
