Residential Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement

Garage door cables are one of the critical safety components that work in conjunction with your garage door springs to lift your garage door up. The cables provide extra support and safety for your door. Broken or worn cables can cause your garage door to fall on you or become stuck causing damage to your walls or garage door.

 

At Smart Garage Door Service, cable repair and replacement are services that we perform on a same-day basis throughout the Denver Metro area.

 

The door no longer hangs straight and is crooked. One side of the door is lower than the other. Fraying or unraveling of the cable. A loud “snapping” sound while the door is operating. The door feels heavier on one side. The cable has come off of the drum or pulley.

Heavy-Duty Business Continuity

Commercial & Industrial Door Cable Services

Cables deteriorate from typical use and also can fail from a spring failure. Typically a spring failure will put a sudden stress on the cable. Also cables can develop rust or corrosion here in Colorado’s weather. Sometimes a cable will get wrapped around a pulley or a drum. The typical life span of a garage door cable is 8 to 12 years.

 

A fraying cable is a serious warning sign that must be heeded immediately before the cable fails completely while the door is in motion. Such a failure could potentially result in property damage or even personal injury. We strongly advise against waiting for a full failure and encourage immediate repair of any cable problems.

 

We have the proper cable on our trucks for all garage doors and springs. Most repairs can be completed in one visit and we have flat-rate pricing before we arrive. Same-day service is available throughout the Denver Metro area.

FAQ

Common Questions

How do I know if my garage door cable is broken?
The door is no longer straight and may be hanging lower on one side than the other. The cable may be laying on the floor of the garage. You may hear a loud snapping sound as the door is opening or closing. The door may be much heavier on one side than the other when opening or closing by hand.
Cables are part of the system that works with the garage door springs. These springs are under an extreme amount of tension and therefore should be repaired by a trained and experienced professional. A DIY repair can cause serious injury.
Cables typically have an 8-12 year lifespan depending on use. Because of the varying climate here in Colorado cables tend to wear faster than normal in varying temperatures and with moisture. We can check your cables during your annual garage door tune-up for any wear before they fail completely.
Typically cable replacement is around $150 for a single replacement cable. We give a flat rate for replacement based on type of cable and any additional repairs that are needed.
