FAQ
Below are answers to common questions homeowners in London, ON have about garage door cable repairs.
What causes garage door cables to snap?
Garage door cables can snap due to normal wear and tear, rust buildup, improper door balance, or excessive tension caused by failing springs. Over time, frayed strands weaken the cable until it eventually breaks. Regular inspections and lubrication can help extend cable life.
Is it safe to use my garage door with a broken cable?
No. Operating a garage door with a broken or frayed cable can cause the door to become uneven or suddenly drop, leading to further damage or injury. If you suspect cable damage, stop using the door and schedule same-day repair.
Can I replace a garage door cable myself?
Garage door cables are under high tension and work together with the spring system. Attempting a DIY repair without proper tools and experience can be dangerous. Professional cable repair ensures safe, efficient replacement and proper door balance.
How long do garage door cables last?
Most garage door cables last between 7–10 years depending on usage, climate, and maintenance. Homes in London, ON that experience temperature changes and humidity may see faster wear without regular servicing.
Should garage door cables and springs be replaced together?
If a cable breaks due to spring failure or imbalance, both components may need inspection or replacement. During every service call, we perform a full 25-point safety inspection to ensure all lifting components are functioning safely and efficiently.
How much does garage door cable repair cost in London, ON?
The cost of cable repair depends on the door size, cable type, and whether additional components such as springs require replacement. We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins — no surprises.
