Garage Door Cable Repair

Your garage door's lift cables carry the full weight of the door alongside the springs. When a cable frays, snaps, or slips off the drum, the door can jam, hang crooked, or drop suddenly, a real safety hazard. EZ Garage Door Repair provides fast, safe garage door cable repair and replacement across Rockville, MD and the surrounding Maryland, Virginia, and DC areas.

Signs your garage door cables need repair

• The door hangs unevenly or looks crooked
• A cable is visibly frayed, loose, or hanging
• The door won't open, or only opens partway
• Loud snapping or grinding when the door moves
• A cable has come off the drum or pulley

Why you shouldn't DIY a cable fix

Garage door cables are under extreme tension. Trying to remove or re-wind a cable without the right tools can cause the door to fall or the cable to whip loose, leading to serious injury. Our technicians release the tension safely, replace the cable, and re-balance the whole system so your door runs smoothly again.

Our cable repair process

We inspect both cables, the drums, and the springs, replace worn or broken cables with the correct gauge for your door, re-set the tension, and test the door's balance and travel. Most cable repairs are completed same-day, and every job is backed by our workmanship warranty. Call us today for a free estimate on your garage door cable repair.
