FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my garage door cable is broken?
The door usually sits crooked, hangs lower on one side, jams partway or you can see loose cable hanging near the bottom of the door. Stop using the opener and call 281-973-2972 so a technician can secure it.
Why do garage door cables break?
Cables fray from years of winding under tension, rust from salt and moisture, or slip off the drum when a spring breaks or the door is forced. We find the cause so it does not happen again.
Should both cables be replaced?
Yes. Cables wear at the same rate, so we replace them as a matched pair to keep the door level and avoid a second call a few weeks later.
Is it safe to open a door with a broken cable?
No. The remaining cable and spring carry the full weight and the door can drop or come off its track. Leave it closed and let a technician handle it.
How long does cable repair take?
Most cable and drum replacements are finished in about an hour. We carry cables for standard residential doors on every truck, so it is normally done the same day you call.
