The system has repeated failures (springs, cables, rollers) due to age
-
You want better insulation, security, or curb appeal
Either way, we’ll walk you through the options and let you decide what fits your budget and plans for the property.

Helpful FAQs about garage door cable issues
What should I do when my garage door won’t open?
First, stop trying to run the opener. A broken or tangled cable can cause further damage if the motor keeps pulling. Make sure everyone stays clear of the door, then call a professional. We’ll inspect the cables, springs, tracks, and opener to find the safest fix.
Can I still use my door with a broken cable?
No. Using the door with a broken cable is dangerous and can cause the door to twist, jam, or fall. Garage doors are heavy, and the cable is a critical safety component. Until a technician repairs it, keep vehicles outside and people away from the opening.
How quickly can a technician get to my Denver property?
Because we’re based in Denver, we can usually reach most homes and businesses the same day, often within a short arrival window depending on time of day, weather, and traffic. For emergencies-like a door stuck open at night-we offer 24/7 emergency garage door service and prioritize safety-critical calls.
Do you offer night and weekend cable repairs?
Yes. Cables don’t always fail during business hours. We provide night and weekend service in Denver for urgent issues like doors stuck open, off-track doors, or situations where security is a concern. Just let our dispatcher know it’s an emergency when you call.
When is it better to replace the whole door instead of just the cables?
If your door is newer and in good shape, cable replacement is usually all you need. If the door is older, badly dented, very noisy, or has frequent issues with springs, rollers, or panels, it may be more cost-effective to replace the full system. Our technician will give you both options-repair vs. replacement-with clear pricing so you can choose.
