Frequently Asked Questions
A broken garage door cable can disrupt the normal operation of your door. Common signs include uneven door movement, fraying or visible damage to the cables, difficulty in opening or closing the door, and the door getting stuck in one position (either open or closed). If you notice any of these issues, it’s essential to call a professional technician right away. Addressing the problem early will help prevent further damage and costly repairs.
It’s highly recommended that you do not attempt to repair a broken garage door cable yourself. Garage door cables are under extreme tension and can be dangerous to handle without the proper tools and expertise. Trying to fix the cable yourself could result in injury or further damage to the door system. It’s safer and more cost-effective to hire a professional technician to handle the repair properly.
The cost to repair a broken garage door cable depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage and the type of door system. At PowerLift Overhead Garage Door, we offer affordable and transparent pricing. Our technicians will provide a clear, upfront estimate before starting any repairs. For accurate pricing, we recommend scheduling a consultation so we can assess the situation and give you the most accurate quote.
On average, broken cable repairs take about 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the severity of the damage and the specific garage door model. Our team at PowerLift Overhead Garage Door works efficiently to ensure that your garage door is up and running as quickly as possible. We offer same-day service to minimize downtime and get your door back to normal with minimal disruption.
Delaying the repair of a broken garage door cable can cause the problem to escalate. A broken cable can cause additional strain on other door components, such as the springs, tracks, and motor, which could lead to more expensive repairs. More importantly, a malfunctioning garage door poses a safety risk to your family and property. Repairing the cable immediately will restore your door’s functionality and prevent further damage.
