A broken or frayed garage door cable can cause your door to become uneven, jammed, or completely inoperable. In many cases, you may notice one side of the door hanging lower than the other, or the door getting stuck partway during operation.

If a cable snaps, avoid using the garage door entirely. Operating a door with a broken cable can cause the door to become unbalanced and may lead to further damage or unsafe conditions.
Do not attempt to force the door open or closed. If your vehicle is trapped or the door is stuck, call or text us so we can guide you safely.
Most homeowners notice one or more of these warning signs:
Cables work under high tension and are critical to safely lifting and lowering your garage door.
Lift cables work with the spring system to raise and lower the garage door evenly. If one fails, the entire balance of the door is affected.
On extension spring systems, cables help control spring tension and prevent dangerous movement if a spring fails.
Proper cable condition is essential for safe door operation and balanced lifting.
Garage door cables are under extreme tension and are directly connected to the spring system. Incorrect installation can cause injury or damage to the door system.
