Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement Services


Have you ever considered whether you need garage door cable services? The cables on your garage door serve an important function, and Garage Door Doctor can help you keep them in working order. You deserve a garage door that works perfectly, keeps you safe, and looks stunning.

What Are Cable Services?

Your garage door’s cables help it open by connecting the bottom of the door to the springs. While crafted of aircraft-grade aluminum, they can still require maintenance, repairs, and eventual replacement.

Maintaining Door Cables

Garage cable maintenance helps you avoid costly repairs and early replacement. When you schedule an annual tune-up for your garage door, your technician will also inspect your cables. They’ll look for signs of damage and test whether they function as intended.

The maintenance check will likely include lubricating where your wires connect to your garage door. The check-up can address minor issues for an affordable price before they require major repairs.

When you maintain your garage door cables and your garage door as a whole, you gain several benefits:

  • Increased safety: When you maintain your cables, you don’t have to worry about them snapping and injuring someone.
  • Enhanced security: Keeping your garage door maintained means it continues to deter intruders and pests.
  • Longer lifespan: Maintenance is the primary factor determining whether your garage door lasts its expected lifespan.
  • Greater efficiency: A well-sealed garage door keeps down your utility bills by ensuring your home stays cool or warm. A broken cable destroys your door’s insulation.
  • Fewer repairs: When you schedule annual garage door cable services in the form of maintenance, you won’t need so many repairs. The door won’t break at the most inconvenient time.
  • Lower expenses: With maintenance, the repairs you need should have an average lower cost. You won’t spend money replacing your door or its components early.

Repairing Garage Door Cables

When you have broken garage door cables, your garage door won’t open. It can trap you in your garage or fail to keep pests or intruders out. How do you know you need professional cable repair solutions?

  • No operation: If you can’t control your door, a broken cable could be the problem.
  • Uneven look: Does one side of your garage door look higher than the other? A single broken cable may affect the tension on one side.
  • Faster opening: Your garage door should open consistently and at a moderate pace. If it feels like it flies open, you have a broken cable.

Don’t delay calling for repairs. You need your garage door in excellent condition to avoid running late for work or some other major inconvenience. At Garage Door Doctor, we arrive promptly and work efficiently to restore everything to working order.

Garage Door Cable Replacement and Installation

You should replace garage door cables every five to seven years. The process only takes us a couple of hours, and we offer affordable prices. Several factors determine whether you’ll need garage door cable services early, such as:

  • Regular inspection: Several times a year, inspect your cables for corrosion, damage, and rust. We include this service as part of our maintenance.
  • Dedicated products: Don’t use off-brand products that don’t have 100% compatibility with your garage. You should also invest in the highest quality components, which last longer.
  • Moderate usage: The more you use your garage door, the faster the cables wear out. Don’t open it frivolously, and it will last longer.
  • Quality work: Don’t sacrifice quality of work to save a few dollars. Work with the company that provides the best service for a competitive price.
  • Environmental conditions: Areas with frequent extreme weather often replace their cables more frequently.

“I’ve used the Garage Door Doctor for nine years now. They’re the only ones that I trust to take care of my garage door needs. I’ve had a new garage door installed, the drive shaft replaced, and today I had a new opener installed. Their prices are very reasonable and the workers are awesome!”

“Cole showed up early in the timeframe. He worked quickly and efficiently. He pointed out some things we may need to have done in the future but didn’t pressure me to have it done now. He replaced the seal on the door and replaced some screws that had come loose in the track. I would recommend Garage Door Doctor to anyone!”
