Garage Door Service

Cable Repair

Frayed or snapped lift cables replaced and re-tensioned so your door lifts evenly and safely.

Overview

Professional Cable Repair

The lift cables work with your springs to raise and lower the door evenly. When a cable frays, slips off the drum or snaps, the door can hang crooked, get stuck, or come off its tracks entirely. Titan replaces worn cables with correctly rated stainless or galvanized cable, re-seats the drums, and re-tensions the system so both sides lift together. Because cables are under high tension and closely tied to the springs, this is a repair best left to a trained technician with the right tools.

Why It Matters

Why Cables Should Never Be Ignored

Garage door cables carry the same high tension as the springs they work with, which is why a frayed cable is an early warning you should not ignore. If one cable lets go, the door can drop on one side, twist in the tracks, or fall, creating a real safety hazard and often more damage than the cable itself. Salt air and moisture common across Orange County and coastal LA accelerate corrosion and fraying. Replacing cables at the first sign of rust or fraying keeps the whole door system safe and balanced.

Cables carry tension in tandem with your springs

Salt air speeds up cable corrosion and fraying

Balanced cables keep the door straight and safe

Our Process

How It Works

Inspect

We examine both cables, drums, pulleys and springs to find fraying, slippage or corrosion and check for related damage.

Replace

Worn cables are replaced with correctly rated corrosion-resistant cable and the drums are re-seated properly.

Re-Tension

We balance the spring and cable system so both sides lift evenly and the door holds at any position.

Test

The door is cycled and inspected to confirm smooth, straight, safe travel before we finish.

“A cable frayed and the door was hanging crooked. Titan found that a roller had failed too and fixed both. He explained everything and showed me the worn parts. Honest company.”
