Do I Need to Repair or Replace My Garage Door Cables?

Garage door cables operate under extreme tension and play a critical role in lifting and lowering your door safely. In most cases, damaged or frayed cables should be replaced rather than repaired. Minor issues—such as a cable that has slipped off the drum without visible damage—may be corrected, but any sign of wear, rust, stretching, or broken strands typically requires full replacement. Your ProperShop technician will assess both safety and functionality before recommending the appropriate solution.

What to Consider When Deciding Whether to Repair or Replace Garage Door Cables

When evaluating cable issues, safety is the top priority. Garage door cables work in tandem with springs to support the full weight of the door. If a cable is compromised, continuing to operate the door can lead to sudden failure, property damage, or personal injury. Age, visible fraying, rust, uneven lifting, or a door that hangs crooked are all signs replacement is the best option. Your ProperShop technician will explain the condition of your cables and help you understand why replacement is often the most reliable long-term fix.

Repairing or Replacing Garage Door Cables

ProperShop technicians are trained to safely service high-tension garage door components. While some cable issues can be corrected through realignment or adjustment, most damaged cables must be replaced to ensure safe operation. During your inspection, your technician will evaluate the cables, drums, springs, and overall door balance to determine the best solution. If replacement is needed, cables are properly sized and installed to restore smooth, even movement of your garage door.
