Garage door cables are constantly under tension — and over time, that wear can lead to visible warning signs. Catching these signs early can prevent costly repairs, full cable failure, or dangerous accidents. If you notice any of the symptoms below, it’s time to call Kozmo Garage Doors for a prompt inspection and expert repair:
Reliable, safe, and efficient Garage Door solutions you trust.
Not every cable issue requires a full replacement — and catching small problems early can save you time, money, and avoid serious safety hazards. At Kozmo Garage Doors, we specialize in fast, effective repairs that restore proper tension, balance, and operation to your door system.
If a cable is unraveling or has come off its drum, we’ll reattach, realign, and re-tension it properly to restore smooth operation.
If your cable shows minor fraying without full strand breakage, we’ll assess whether it’s safe to repair or if a replacement is best — always with your safety in mind.
When one side of the door pulls harder than the other, we adjust the cable tension to ensure level, balanced movement.
Salty air can cause early rust. We clean and treat lightly corroded areas or recommend replacement if wear is too advanced.
We reset misaligned cables and inspect surrounding hardware to prevent repeat issues.
Cables that have unspooled or wrapped unevenly can cause jerky movement. We safely unwind and reset them for smooth tracking.
At Kozmo Garage Doors, we don’t cut corners — especially when it comes to something as critical as your garage door cables. Our repair process is designed to ensure long-lasting results, smooth door operation, and most importantly, your safety.
Here’s how we take care of your garage door cable repair from start to finish:
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your entire garage door system — including the cables, drums, springs, rollers, pulleys, and opener — to identify the root cause of the issue. We don’t just fix the symptom — we fix what caused it.
Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, we walk you through our findings and provide a transparent repair quote. No surprises. No hidden fees. Just honest pricing and professional guidance.
Whether your cable is loose, misaligned, or showing early signs of wear, we’ll repair it using industry-grade tools and USA-made parts. If the damage is too advanced for a repair, we’ll let you know and recommend a safe replacement.
After the repair, we test the full balance of the door and inspect the entire system to ensure your garage door lifts evenly and operates without strain. This step prevents future breakdowns and enhances safety.
Before we leave, we walk you through what was done, show you how the door is now operating, and provide maintenance tips to help extend the life of your cables and garage door system.
Cable repair involves fixing issues like loose cables, minor fraying, or reattaching cables that have slipped off their drum. Replacement is needed when the cable is badly frayed, snapped, or structurally compromised. At Kozmo Garage Doors, we always inspect first and recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution.
No — using your door with a damaged or loose cable is unsafe. It can lead to the door becoming unbalanced, falling suddenly, or damaging the opener. Stop using it and contact us for an inspection right away.
Signs include a crooked door, visible fraying, cables slipping off the drum, jerky movement, or loud snapping noises. If the door won’t open or close fully, a cable issue may be the cause.
Garage door cables are under high tension and can be extremely dangerous to handle without proper tools and training. DIY cable repairs can lead to injury or further damage. Always leave cable work to trained professionals.
On average, garage door cables last 8–15 years, but in humid, salty air, rust and corrosion can shorten their lifespan. Regular maintenance and early repairs can help you avoid sudden failures.
Not always. If only one cable is damaged or out of alignment, we may only need to repair that side. However, we’ll always inspect both sides for wear and balance to ensure the entire system is safe and functioning properly.
Most cable repairs can be completed in under an hour. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked trucks and are trained to resolve cable issues quickly and safely.
