Garage Door Cable Repair

Frayed and snapped lift cables replaced — across Highland Park, University Park, Dallas, Frisco, Plano, Prosper, Colleyville, Southlake, Grapevine.

Lift cables carry the door's weight from the springs. When one frays, slips off its drum or snaps, the door hangs crooked or drops on one side. Cables are under spring tension, so this is a job for the right tools: we unload the springs, replace both cables and check the drums and bottom brackets, then re-level and balance the door.

Signs You Need Garage Door Cable Repair

  • The door hangs crooked or one side drops
  • A loose cable hanging beside the door
  • Frayed strands at the bottom bracket
  • The door jerks or tilts as it moves

⚡ The North Texas Factor

Cables usually fail at the bottom bracket, where water and grit sit. After a hard North Texas storm, water running under the door and fine clay dust in the bottom corners speed up corrosion there. A door that was knocked or went off track can also kink a cable, which then frays from that point.
