Cable Repair in Ankeny

Professional cable repair for Ankeny homes & businesses

Lift cables run from the bottom corners of the door up to drums on the spring shaft. If one frays, slips off the drum or snaps, one side of the door drops and the door can jam in the tracks.

Do not keep running the door when a cable is loose. We secure the door, replace both cables so they wear evenly, check the bottom brackets and drums and rebalance the door.

Ankeny Garage Door Repair provides cable repair throughout Ankeny, IA and Polk County, with the full price quoted before any work starts. As your trusted Ankeny garage door company, we find the cause and fix it right the first time. Questions first? Read our garage door FAQs.

Is a broken garage door cable dangerous?

Yes. The door can drop or jam. Stop using it and call us.

Why do you replace both cables?

They are the same age. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and avoids a second visit.

What makes cables come off the drum?

Usually a loose cable from a broken spring, or the door hitting something while closing.

Can a cable be fixed the same day?

Most cable repairs are done in one visit.

Why did my garage door cable snap?

Rust, wear at the bottom bracket or a broken spring are common causes.

Can I use the door with one cable?

No. The door can tip and jam. Leave it closed and call us.

Do cables rust in Iowa?

Yes. Salt and winter moisture rust cable ends at the bottom brackets.

Do you check the springs during cable repair?

Yes. Springs and cables work together, so we check both.
