Cable Repair in Murfreesboro

Professional cable repair for Murfreesboro homes & businesses

Lift cables run from the bottom brackets of the door up to drums on the torsion bar. They carry the door's full weight, so when one frays, slips off its drum or snaps, the door hangs crooked, jams in the track or drops on one side.

Cables are under spring tension, so the repair starts with safely unwinding the springs. We replace both cables as a pair, inspect the drums and bottom brackets, rewind the springs and level the door so it travels straight and closes evenly.

Murfreesboro Garage Door Pros provides cable repair throughout Murfreesboro, TN and nearby Rutherford County, with the full price quoted before any work starts. As your trusted Murfreesboro garage door company, we test the whole door, not just the broken part. Questions first? Read our garage door FAQs.

Local expertise

Cable Repair for Rutherford County homes

Garages in Murfreesboro stay humid for much of the year, and cables on doors near the bottom seal pick up moisture and rust. Bottom brackets on older doors also corrode, which loosens the cable anchor and is a common cause of a door that suddenly hangs crooked.

Reviews

What Murfreesboro customers say

Heard a loud bang early Monday morning and the garage door wouldn't lift at all. Called them and they figured out the torsion spring had broken. They had the right spring on the truck and got us back up and running that afternoon. Very straightforward.

The opener would hum but the door wasn't moving. They checked the opener, gears and the door itself before recommending anything. Turned out to be a stripped gear. Repair was done in one visit and the price was exactly what they quoted.

Our door came off the track while my wife was closing it. They got here later that day and found one of the tracks had been bent. They straightened things out, replaced a damaged roller and tested the door several times before leaving.

Had a section of our garage door damaged and wasn't looking forward to replacing the entire thing. They were able to match the existing panel pretty closely and replace just the damaged section. You can barely tell which one is new.

Our garage door had gotten extremely loud over the past few months. They did a full inspection, lubricated the moving parts and replaced several worn rollers. It opens much smoother now. The inspection was more thorough than I expected.

We were having trouble with the garage door opener remote and the door would sometimes stop halfway. They checked the opener, sensors and balance of the door and found more than one issue. Everything was fixed during the same appointment. Really good communication throughout.

Our garage door had started shaking badly when it opened and closed. I expected to be told we needed a whole new door, but the technician found worn rollers and a couple of loose parts. Everything was adjusted and replaced where needed. Much quieter now.

One of our garage door cables snapped and left the door crooked. I didn't want to try moving it myself. They came out, replaced the cables and drums, then checked the balance of the entire door. Good service and no unnecessary upselling.

We needed a new opener because our old one was becoming unreliable. They installed a belt-drive unit with Wi-Fi and battery backup and took the time to show me how to use the app. The new opener is so much quieter than the old one.

Garage door started reversing every time it got close to the floor. The technician checked the sensors and the opener settings instead of immediately replacing the opener. A sensor adjustment fixed it. Appreciate the honest diagnosis.

The bottom seal on our garage door was worn out and we were getting leaves and water underneath it. They replaced the seal and checked the sides of the door while they were there. Small job, but they treated it like it mattered.

We recently replaced our old garage door and opener. From measuring the opening to choosing the style and getting everything installed, the process was easy. We went with an insulated raised-panel door and couldn't be happier with how it looks.

Why did my garage door cable snap?

Age, rust, a worn drum, a misaligned track or a broken spring that let the cable go slack and jump the drum.

Can I use the door with one broken cable?

No. The door can fall or bind and damage panels and tracks. Leave it closed and book a repair.

Do you replace both cables?

Yes. Both cables carry the same load and age, so we replace them together and keep the door level.

Is cable repair dangerous to do myself?

Yes. The springs must be unwound first, which needs the right tools and training.

Who provides cable repair in Murfreesboro, TN?

Murfreesboro Garage Door Pros provides cable repair in Murfreesboro, TN and nearby Rutherford County communities. We are a local garage door company with upfront pricing. Book online and we'll call or text to confirm a time.

How much does garage door cable repair cost?

It depends on door height, whether drums or brackets need replacing, and spring condition. We quote the full price first.

How long do garage door cables last?

Often 8 to 12 years, less in damp garages or on doors with worn drums.

Can a cable come off the drum without breaking?

Yes. Slack from a broken spring or an obstruction can make it jump the drum. It still needs a proper reset.

Will a snapped cable damage my door?

It can bend tracks and crack sections if the door keeps being operated. Stop using it until it's fixed.

Do you check the springs when replacing cables?

Always. Springs and cables work together, and worn springs are a common cause of cable failure.
