Garage Door Cable Repair Services
Bruce Garage Door Services is a locally owned and operated company proudly serving homeowners and businesses in Bloomington, and surrounding areas since 2013.
We specialize in fast, professional garage door cable repair. Garage door cables work hand-in-hand with the springs to safely lift and lower your heavy door. Over time, constant use, friction, and exposure to the elements can cause cables to fray, rust, or snap completely. Our experienced technicians quickly diagnose cable problems and provide reliable repairs to restore safe, smooth operation and prevent further damage.
Properly functioning cables evenly distribute the door’s weight, reducing strain on the opener, rollers, tracks, and springs while protecting against dangerous sudden drops. Addressing cable issues promptly not only extends your system’s lifespan but also enhances overall safety and performance.
Signs Your Garage Door Cables Need Repair
Catch problems early to avoid costly repairs or safety risks. Common warning signs include:
- Visible Fraying or Rust – Strands beginning to unravel or rust spots indicate weakening—regular checks can spot these before failure.
- Uneven or Tilted Door Movement – If the door appears lopsided, jerks, or closes crookedly, cables may be worn, stretched, or off-track.
- Loud Snapping or Popping Sounds – A sharp snap often means a cable has broken—stop using the door immediately and call for help.
- Excessive Slack or Looseness – Cables that hang loosely or have too much play can no longer properly support the door’s weight.
Our Professional Cable Repair Process
Cable repair involves high-tension components and requires expertise for safety. Our technicians follow a proven, thorough approach:
Inspection & Diagnosis
We carefully examine both cables, drums, pulleys, springs, and brackets for wear, corrosion, fraying, or misalignment.
Safe Removal
Damaged cables are detached with controlled tension release to keep the door stable and protect other components.
Precise Replacement or Adjustment
We install premium, correctly sized cables matched to your door’s weight and type (or recalibrate tension if adjustment is sufficient).
Testing & Final Verification
The door is cycled multiple times to ensure balanced, smooth, and quiet operation, with any fine-tuning completed on-site.
