Garage Door Cable Replacement in New Westminster
A snapped or frayed garage door cable is usually caused by a broken spring, and the two problems often happen at the same time. New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in BC. Steep driveways and older door systems are common, and we are used to working on hardware that has been in place for decades. We handle cable replacement across New Westminster 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 New Westminster.
