Cable Repair & Replacement
Garage door lift cables wind onto drums at each end of the torsion shaft. When a cable frays or snaps, one corner of the door may rise while the other lags — or the door can drop violently if tension releases unevenly.
Cable failure often follows a broken spring or off-track event. We inspect drums, bearings, bottom brackets, and spring tension together because replacing a cable alone on a misbalanced door invites another failure.
Garage Guys uses correct cable diameter and length for your drum size, secures bottom fixtures, and winds springs to spec after cable work. Same-day appointments available throughout Orange County.
Coastal cities like Huntington Beach and Newport Beach see accelerated corrosion at cable loops — we recommend replacement at first sign of rust pitting, not after complete failure.
Cable work is always paired with a balance test — a level door at rest confirms even drum winding and correct spring tension.
