Garage Door Cable Replacement in Burnaby
A snapped or frayed garage door cable is usually caused by a broken spring, and the two problems often happen at the same time. Burnaby keeps us busy year-round, from older ranchers in North Burnaby to newer builds near Metrotown and Lougheed — door hardware ages differently depending on which part of the city. We handle cable replacement across Burnaby for residential homes and townhomes.
We replace both cables together — replacing just the snapped one leaves the other at the same age and tension, ready to fail soon after. It is a small extra cost now versus a callback in six months.
Signs You Need Cable Replacement
- Cable visibly snapped — door hangs crooked or one side drops
- Fraying or kinking visible on the cable near the drum or bottom bracket
- Door feels uneven when moving — one side lags or jumps
- Spring broke at the same time (very common — cables fail under the sudden load)
Stop using the opener if a cable has snapped — running the motor against a stuck door can burn it out. Call (778) 873-7282 and we will come assess it in Burnaby.
