Garage Door Cable Repair San Antonio

Lift cables work with the springs to carry your door’s full weight. When one snaps or unspools, the door goes crooked, jams in the tracks, or hangs with nothing holding one side. Don’t force it and don’t run the opener — a door in that state can drop. We replace cables with the correct diameter and length for your door, re-tension the system, and quote the price before starting.

Replaced in pairs. Cables stretch and wear together. Replacing only the snapped one leaves the door lifting unevenly on a new cable and a tired one.

Correct spec, not close enough. Cable diameter, loop size, and drum fit are matched to the door’s weight and the spring system. Undersized cable is exactly how you get a repeat failure.

Drums, bearings, and springs checked. Cables rarely fail in isolation — a fraying cable often means a spring is weakening or a drum is grooved. We inspect the whole lift system while it’s apart.

Balance test before we leave. The door should sit still halfway open. If it drifts, something’s still wrong — and we don’t leave it that way.

Door doing something else entirely? Garage door repair covers the full diagnosis.
