What “Garage Cable Repair” Usually Means
Garage door cables don’t “stretch back” once they’re frayed, kinked, or broken. Most “garage cable repair” jobs are actually: cable replacement, cable re-seating, drum reset, track alignment, and a full door balance/safety inspection.
Our Cable Repair Process (Braintree, MA)
- Safety inspection (springs, drums, bottom brackets, tracks, rollers, opener force settings)

- Replace or re-seat cables using correct size and winding method
- Re-align and balance the door so it runs smoothly and safely
- Test & tune opener limits, safety reverse, and overall operation

Garage Cable Repair FAQs
Can I open my garage door with a broken cable?
It’s not recommended. A broken or slipped cable can cause the door to jam, twist, or fall unevenly. For safety, stop using the door and call a technician.
Do you replace one cable or both?
In many cases, both cables should be replaced together to keep the system balanced and reduce repeat failures. We’ll confirm what’s best after inspection.
What causes a garage door cable to snap?
Rust, wear, misalignment, drum issues, and an unbalanced spring system are common causes. We fix the root cause so you’re not calling again next week.
