Broken Garage Door Cable in Calgary? Don’t Force the Door
A broken or snapped garage door cable makes the door dangerous to operate. The door may hang at an angle, drop suddenly or become impossible to open. Do not try to force it open — this can cause the door to fall completely or damage the opener. Call Super G&R Garage Door Repairs for same-day cable replacement across Calgary.
Why Both Cables Must Be Replaced Together
Garage doors have two lift cables — one on each side. When one breaks, the other is at exactly the same wear level and will fail soon, often within days. Super G&R Garage Door Repairs always replaces both cables at the same visit. This costs the same in labour and prevents a second emergency call within weeks.
Signs Your Cables Need Replacement
- Door hangs at an angle or one side lower than the other
- Visible fraying or kinking in the cable
- Cable has come off the drum
- Door moves very slowly or makes a scraping sound
- Cable lying loose on the ground beside the door
How Long Does Cable Replacement Take?
Most cable replacements take 90 minutes to 2 hours on-site. Our technicians carry heavy-duty galvanized cables on every service truck, so most Calgary area jobs are completed in a single same-day visit.
