Garage Door Cable Repair in Merrimack, NH

Lift cables run from the bottom brackets of your garage door up to the drums on the spring shaft. Working together with the springs, they raise and lower the door evenly on both sides. When a cable frays, slips off its drum or snaps, the door loses its balance – and that is when doors hang crooked, jam, or come off their tracks.

Freedom Garage Door Repair replaces broken and worn cables for residential and commercial garage doors throughout Merrimack, usually the same day you call (603) 375-3366.

Signs of a Cable Problem

• The door is lower on one side or hangs crooked in the opening.
• A cable is loose, hanging, or wrapped unevenly on the drum.
• Visible fraying or rust near the bottom brackets.
• The door jerks, shakes or stops partway up.

How We Repair It

Cables are under spring tension, so the first step is to secure the door and safely release the load. We then replace the cables in pairs so both sides lift evenly, check the drums and bottom brackets, re-tension the springs, balance the door and run it through a full cycle to make sure it travels straight.

Cable failures often come together with a broken spring or an off-track door, so we check the whole system while we are there.
