Garage Door Cable Repair
When your garage door cable snaps, it can throw your whole day off. A stuck or uneven door isn’t just annoying — it can be dangerous. At WinCal Garage Doors, we provide professional garage door cable repair in Calgary to get your door working safely and smoothly again — often the same day.
Your garage door cables are the unsung heroes of your system. Working alongside the springs, they lift hundreds of pounds every time you open or close the door. Over time, wear, friction, and Calgary’s extreme weather can cause those cables to fray, stretch, or snap.
When that happens, your garage door may look uneven, refuse to open, or make strange grinding sounds. That’s your cue to call in the experts before it becomes a safety issue.

Signs You Need Garage Door Cable Repair
Here are the most common warning signs homeowners notice before a cable fails:
- The door hangs unevenly or one side looks lower than the other
- The door moves in jerky or shaky motions
- You hear scraping, popping, or grinding noises
- Rust or frayed strands are visible near the bottom of the door
If you notice any of these, stop using your garage door and contact WinCal Garage Doors right away for an inspection. Continuing to operate a damaged door can cause more serious — and expensive — problems.
Why You Should Never Try DIY Cable Repairs
Garage door cables are under high tension, and loosening the wrong part can cause serious injury. What looks like a simple fix can quickly turn into a dangerous situation.
At WinCal Garage Doors, our certified technicians have the right tools, training, and safety gear to handle these repairs properly. We don’t just replace the broken cable; we inspect your entire system to ensure it’s balanced and safe to operate.
Calgary’s Climate Is Hard on Garage Doors
Calgary’s unpredictable weather is tough on garage door systems. Freezing winters make cables brittle, spring melt brings moisture and salt that cause rust, and summer heat dries out essential lubricants.
That’s why we recommend seasonal garage door maintenance — especially in spring and fall — to prevent damage before it happens. Regular tune-ups can double the life of your cables and save you from costly repairs down the road.
