Cable came off on one side

A cable off the drum leaves the door crooked: one side up, one side down. Do not run the opener to "pull it straight". It wraps the loose cable around the shaft and bends the door sections.

Cable snapped or frayed

Cables wear where they wrap the drum and where they meet the bottom bracket. Road salt and wet Durham winters rust cables and bottom brackets from the floor up. We replace cables in pairs so both sides lift evenly.

What we check on every cable call

  • Both drums, for wear and set screws
  • The springs, because a broken spring is the usual cause
  • Bottom brackets and the end bearing plates
  • Door balance before we leave

Call 647-584-4077 and we will price it on the phone.

Questions we get

How much does garage door cable repair cost in Ajax?

A pair of cables is from $165 + HST, and that includes a check of both drums. There is a $29 + HST diagnostic, waived when we do the repair.

The cable came off on one side. Is the spring gone too?

Often, yes. When a spring breaks, the cable loses tension and jumps the drum. We check the springs on every cable call and price both before any work starts.

Can I still use the door?

No. With one cable off, the door lifts on one side only and can jam or fall out of the track. Leave it closed if you can.

What warranty do cables carry?

Cables and hardware we supply carry 1 year, and the labour carries 3 years.

How fast can you get here?

Emergency calls are reached within 20-30 minutes in Ajax and Pickering, day or night.
