Garage Door Cable Repair in Denver Metro & Surrounding Counties
Lift cables wind and unwind every time you operate the door. Exposure to road salt, moisture, and ice eventually corrodes the strands. Once a cable unravels, the door can slam shut or tilt dangerously.
We stock galvanized and stainless cables in multiple gauges, crimp them to manufacturer specs, and reset spring tension so the door raises evenly after the swap.

Service FAQs
Why do garage door cables rust so quickly?
Road salt, melted snow, and humid garages attack the strands. We offer stainless upgrades and recommend keeping the bottom seal in good shape to block moisture.
Can I just replace one cable?
Cables stretch differently over time. Replacing both ensures even lifting and prevents early failure.
Do you warranty cable repairs?
Yes. We include a one-year labor warranty and manufacturer-backed coverage on premium cables.
