Call (619) 666-6054 Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my cables are failing?
Signs include frayed strands, visible rust, door opening unevenly (crooked), or loud snapping sounds.
Can I use my garage door with a broken cable?
Absolutely not. A broken cable makes the door extremely dangerous — it can fall suddenly. Call for emergency service immediately.
Should I replace both cables?
Yes. Cables wear at similar rates. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and saves money on future service calls.
How much does cable repair cost?
Most cable repairs cost $150-$350 depending on whether one or both cables need replacement and if other damage occurred.
Can I repair garage door cables myself?
No. Cables are under extreme tension (200+ pounds of force) and can cause severe injury or death. Always hire a professional.
