If you hear a loud bang coming from your garage, it is most probably a broken garage door cable and leaving it can be dangerous.

Putting off the cost of a garage door cable replacement is like playing with fire. The risk of the door falling due to a broken cable is much higher than the cost of the replacement.
A garage door cable replacement will usually cost you what it includes:
We never just replace one cable, but always both in a pair to ensure that the lifting is done evenly and that no further problems arise. Before we get down to work, we’ll give you a clear, upfront quote.
Replacing cables the proper way is a very delicate procedure that, in the end, ensures the whole garage door system stays healthy over the long-term.
The scope of our work is as follows:
▶️Safety First: We secure the door and release the spring tension in a safe manner.
▶️Cable Removal & Replacement: Old cables are removed by us and, new ones, that are of the right size and length, are installed.
▶️Drum & Spring Check: We check the drums and springs for any defects or wear and tear signs.
▶️Re-Tensioning & Balancing: The system is re-tensioned with great care and balance test is done to ensure that the operation is smooth and safe.

Cable issues are frequently linked to drum wear, our drum replacement service is often completed in the same visit.
Of course. The cables are the moving parts that wear down at the same rate, which means when one breaks the other one is going to break soon as well. Changing both cables at the same time is a good move because then the lifting is balanced, there is no risk of doing another service call, and the parts that are connected to the cables are protected from being overloaded in an uneven way.
Garage door cable replacement takes about 1-2 hours. Same visit, no problems! We have our trucks stocked with cables for all different kinds of doors, so in most cases we will be able to fix the door right away, without you having to wait for the arrival of the parts.
Using a garage door that has a broken cable is a risky thing to do. The door becomes unbalanced and can literally fall on you without any warning. Broken cable, springs and the opener which are under heavy strain are going to lead to the fast deterioration of the door operation. Please don’t use the door and get in touch with a garage door professional immediately.
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. If you keep running a door which is unbalanced then your opener will be fighting to maintain the tension of the cable that is no longer there, and this will inevitably lead to the motor dying faster. Therefore, sorting your cable out without delay is the best thing you can do for the rest of the system.
