A snapped cable can drop a 150-pound door and throw it off track. We replace both cables with galvanized, aircraft-grade line the same day.

04 symptoms — one call fixes all of themIf the door is stuck half-open, don’t cycle the opener — call first.
One cable let go, so a corner dropped and the door is wedged at an angle. Running the opener now bends the track.
Visible fraying or rust means the cable is about to fail. Caught early, it's a quick, inexpensive fix.
Slack cable can unwind and jump the drum, often after a spring breaks or the door hits an obstruction.
A bang followed by a stuck or crooked door usually means a cable or spring failed under load.
How Dispatch Works — Broken Garage Door Cable Repair
No diagnosis fee. No surprise charges. Just fast, honest dispatch.
We safely secure the door and release spring tension before touching the cables — the step that prevents injuries.
Cables are replaced as a matched set with correctly rated galvanized line, then re-wound evenly on the drums.
We check spring balance, cycle the door, and confirm it tracks straight and stops level.
What You Get
Every job is handled by a licensed local technician from our dispatch network, with a flat quote approved by you before any work begins — and a 5-year warranty on most repairs, in writing.
If one cable failed, the other is the same age. Replacing both prevents a repeat call within weeks.
Galvanized, correctly rated lift cable — not the undersized line that frays and rusts prematurely.
Cables often fail alongside a spring or bad drum. We inspect the whole lift system so it doesn't happen again.
Parts-and-labor warranty on every cable replacement, with upfront flat pricing.
Common Questions

Both. The intact cable is the same age and material as the one that failed, so replacing the pair avoids a second breakdown soon after. It's a small parts cost for a much more reliable repair.
Cable replacement is one of the more affordable garage door repairs. If a spring or drum also failed (common), the quote reflects those parts. You approve a flat price before any work begins.
