Cable Repair
Frayed or snapped lift cables replaced safely, same-day.
Same-day service
Garage door cables do the heavy lifting alongside your springs. When a cable frays or snaps, the door can go crooked, jam on the track, or drop on one side. East Bay Garage Door Pro replaces worn and broken lift cables across the East Bay, checks the springs and drums while we're there, and rebalances the door so it runs straight again.
What's included & when to call
Every cable repair job starts with a full inspection. Here's what we handle and what to watch for at home.

Parts, fixes, and adjustments our techs handle on-site.
- Frayed or snapped lift cable replacement

Our process
- 1
Call or send the quote form and tell us what the door is doing. Stop using it if it looks unsafe.

- 3
We replace the cables, reset them on the drums, rebalance the door, and test a full cycle before leaving.
Pricing guidance
Cable repair is usually a straightforward flat-rate job, but the price depends on whether one or both cables need replacing and the door's size. We quote the exact price on-site before starting, parts and labor included.
Safety note
Cables share the load with springs under high tension. A snapped cable can leave the door unstable. Leave it closed if you can and call a trained tech rather than handling the cables yourself.
