Garage door cable repair in Locust Grove, GA
Southern Crescent replaces snapped or frayed garage door lift cables in Locust Grove, GA for $299 for both sides, parts and labor included, in about an hour.
Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 9 pm. Call before 2 pm for same-day service.
Why is my garage door hanging crooked?
A door that sits lower on one side almost always has a cable that snapped, frayed or slipped off its drum. The cables run from the bottom corners of the door up to drums on the spring bar. When one lets go, that side drops and the door jams at an angle.
Leave the door where it is and don't run the opener. A door hanging on one cable can drop on that side without warning.
What makes garage door cables fail?
- Rust at the bottom bracket. Water sits at the floor, and the cable rusts from the bottom up.
- A broken spring. When a spring lets go, the cables lose tension and jump the drums. If a spring broke too, see spring repair.
- Worn drums or a door forced while off track.
What does cable replacement cost?
$299 for both cables, parts and labor included, and the $59 service call is waived. We always replace both sides: the cable that held is the same age as the one that failed.
How long does it take?
About an hour on site, including levelling the door and checking the spring balance.
Questions people ask before they call
Can I replace just one garage door cable?
We replace both. The second cable has the same wear and rust as the one that snapped, and uneven cables make the door ride crooked.
Is a door with a broken cable safe to use?
No. Don't open or close it. The door can drop on the side with the broken cable. Call for a same-day visit.
