Garage Door Cable Replacement in Port Coquitlam
A snapped or frayed garage door cable is usually caused by a broken spring, and the two problems often happen at the same time. Port Coquitlam has a lot of established bungalows and townhomes. Older torsion spring systems are common here and we know what it takes to get them working properly again. We handle cable replacement across Port Coquitlam 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)
