Repair & Service
Frayed or snapped garage door cables, repaired right
Cables carry the full load of the door. A fraying or slipped cable can leave a door hanging crooked and dangerous.

Lift cables connect the bottom of the door to the spring system. When one frays, snaps or slips off its drum, the door tilts, jams or drops on one side. The cable is under real tension, so this is a repair for trained hands.
We replace the damaged cable, inspect the drums, brackets and the opposite cable, and then rebalance the door. In Nashville's humid summers, rust and wear can sneak up on cables, so we check for the early signs while we are there.

FAQ
Common questions about cable repair & replacement
What causes a garage door cable to snap?
Wear, rust, a broken spring or a door that was forced against an obstruction. Often the cause is age combined with moisture.
Can a cable be re-seated instead of replaced?
If it simply slipped and is undamaged, sometimes. We check for fraying and bending before deciding.
Is it dangerous to use a door with a broken cable?
Yes. The door can tilt or drop. Please stop using it and call us.
