Garage Door Cable Replacement in Vancouver

A snapped or frayed garage door cable is usually caused by a broken spring, and the two problems often happen at the same time. In Vancouver we work on everything from older character homes in Kitsilano and Point Grey to newer builds in East Van — the door hardware age varies a lot depending on the neighbourhood. We handle cable replacement across Vancouver 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 Vancouver.
