What Causes Garage Door Cables to Break

Garage door cables carry much of the lifting weight of the door. Over time they can fray, rust, or weaken due to constant tension and exposure. When the cable snaps or slips off the drum, the door may lift unevenly or become stuck. Continuing to operate the door in this condition can cause further damage and poses a safety risk.

Common causes include:

  • Metal fatigue and long term wear
  • Rust or corrosion
  • Poor alignment of the cable drum
  • Incorrect tension from failing springs
  • Heavy door panels or impact damage

Why Prompt Cable Repair Matters

Damaged cables can cause the door to lift unevenly, twist to one side, or drop unexpectedly. This puts the opener, tracks, and springs under unnecessary stress. Replacing the cables early prevents further damage, improves safety, and ensures the door works reliably every day.

Signs You Need Cable Repair

  • One side of the door lifts higher than the other
  • Visible fraying or rust on the cables
  • Door drops suddenly or moves unevenly
  • Cables hanging loose or completely snapped
  • Door gets stuck halfway
  • Loud grinding or scraping near the drum area

If these occur, stop using the door immediately and schedule repair.

Cable Replacement vs Track or Spring Repair

Cable replacement is required when the lifting cables are frayed, rusted, or snapped. We remove the damaged cables and install new high strength replacements to restore safe lifting performance.

Track or spring repair is recommended when alignment or tension issues cause the cables to slip off the drum. Fixing these related problems prevents uneven lifting and protects the hardware.

We assess the cause of the cable failure and complete the repair that keeps your garage door safe and balanced.

Broken or damaged garage door cables can make the door unsafe to use. We provide fast cable repair and replacement in Montreal to restore safe operation and prevent the door from failing or dropping unexpectedly. Our technicians replace frayed, snapped, or off drum cables for all door types.
