Cable Repair & Replacement questions
Q1Why is my garage door crooked?
Usually one lifting cable has slipped off its drum, stretched or snapped, so one side is no longer supported. Stop using the door until it's checked.
Q2Can I put the cable back on myself?
We don't recommend it. Cables are attached to springs under high tension, and a loose cable can whip or the door can drop.
Q3Do you replace both cables?
If both cables are the same age and one has frayed, the other usually isn't far behind. Your technician will show you and price it before starting.
Q4Can you come today in Perth?
Book early and we aim to have a technician with you the same day. If the door won't close, call the 24/7 line.
