Garage Door Cable Repair San Antonio, TX
Broken, frayed, loose, or off-drum garage door cable? Prime Garage Door Repair provides professional garage door cable repair and replacement throughout San Antonio.
Broken Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement
Garage door cables work together with the springs and cable drums to help lift and lower the heavy garage door.
When a cable becomes frayed, rusted, loose, tangled, broken, or comes off its drum, the garage door can become crooked, jammed, unusually heavy, or completely inoperable.
Our technicians inspect the cables, drums, springs, tracks, rollers and related lifting hardware before recommending the correct repair.
If the issue is connected to the spring system, learn more about our garage door spring repair service .

What Causes Garage Door Cables to Break?
Garage door cables experience repeated tension every time the door opens and closes. Over time, individual cable strands can deteriorate because of age, friction, corrosion, moisture, improper alignment, or problems elsewhere in the garage door system.
Cable problems can also develop when the garage door moves unevenly. Issues with springs, drums, tracks, rollers, or other lifting components can affect the load placed on the cable.
Frayed Garage Door Cable
A healthy lifting cable should appear tightly wound and consistent. If individual wire strands begin separating, the cable looks rusty, or there is visible wear near the drum or bottom bracket, the system should be inspected.
Garage Door Cable Came Off The Drum
When a cable comes off the drum, one side of the garage door can lose proper lifting tension. The door may become crooked, jammed or difficult to move.
Should Both Garage Door Cables Be Inspected?
Yes. Both cables operate as part of the same lifting system. Inspecting both sides can help identify uneven wear or other problems that may have contributed to the cable failure.
Garage Door Cables And Springs Work Together
Garage door cables and springs are connected parts of the lifting system. A spring problem may affect cable tension, door balance, and how the garage door moves.
