Cables work under constant tension with the spring system — 5 Star Garage Door Service checks the full assembly, not just the visible fray point.


5 Star Garage Door Service trains Cloverdale, CA technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
We'd rather send one truck that's actually equipped for garage door cable repair than three that aren't, even if it means a slightly longer wait on a rare occasion.
Uneven cable wear on one side often points to a misaligned track we'll also flag.
We use cables rated to your door's actual weight and spring tension.
Every job includes a post-repair tension and balance check.
Cables are common stock on our trucks, so most jobs finish in one visit.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — we replace it before that happens.
A cable that's already snapped usually means the door dropped or hangs crooked — we never operate a door on a snapped cable.
A cable that's slipped off its drum causes uneven hanging — we re-seat it and correct the underlying cause.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — we add these where missing.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — this is a less obvious but equally important part of the system.

Reach a live dispatcher at +1-866-597-3069 and describe what's going on with your door.
A stocked Cloverdale, CA truck heads your way, usually with a same-day arrival window.
You approve the price before any work begins.

If only one shows wear, we'll say so rather than upsell the second.
If you notice either, call +1-866-597-3069 before the cable fails completely.
Yes — a snapped cable under spring tension can cause the door to drop suddenly.
