Garage Door Garage Door Cable Repair The Acreage, FL

For garage door cable repair in The Acreage, FL, the right approach depends on the environment. Local conditions bring constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, condensation that beads on cool metal tracks at dawn, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, which we account for on every The Acreage job.

Weather matters more than most The Acreage homeowners expect. Local conditions — a hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season — drive constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, condensation that beads on cool metal tracks at dawn, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Florida's tropical climate.

Across Palm Beach County, the garage door problems we see again and again are rusted track hardware and seized rollers near the water, salt-pitted spring coils that fail early near the coast, swollen wood doors that drag and stick in the humidity, and corroded bottom brackets on older coastal doors. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.

Lift cables transfer the spring's stored energy to the door panels — they're under high tension every cycle and degrade slowly through fraying, corrosion, and mis-spooling on the drum. A cable repair visit replaces both cables (always replace as a pair so the door stays balanced), re-spools the drums to the correct number of wraps, recalibrates spring tension to match, and inspects related components like the bottom bracket where one end of each cable terminates.

Cables are galvanized aircraft-grade steel — typically 1/8-inch diameter for residential doors and 3/16-inch for heavier or commercial doors. We carry both diameters along with the bottom-bracket fittings, drum caps, and shaft set-screws that occasionally need replacement alongside the cables.

Cable failure usually leaves the door off-track or hanging crooked. Continuing to operate the opener after one cable has snapped causes the other side to take the full load and is the fastest way to bend tracks or damage panels. Stop the opener and call for repair when you see a frayed or snapped cable — fast service is standard.

Signs you need garage door cable repair

• Frayed cable visible at the drum

  Strands of steel poking out of the cable indicate active wear. Cables don't self-heal — frays accelerate to snap.

• Door hangs crooked when closed

  If one corner is higher than the other when the door is fully down, one cable has stretched, slipped on the drum, or partially failed.

• Snapped cable, door stuck

  A fully snapped cable leaves the door off-track or jammed. Don't try to force it — call for repair.

• Rust streaks on cables

  Coastal homes see cable corrosion progress until the strands weaken. Visible rust means the cable is no longer at full strength.

• Loud bang followed by crooked door

  Cable snap sounds similar to spring snap but is usually quieter. If the door is crooked after the noise, suspect cable failure.

Common causes & what we fix

• Mis-spooled drum

  When a cable jumps off its drum groove, it crosses over itself and wears at the crossover point. Re-spooling fixes the spool but the wear point becomes the weak link.

• Drum cap or set-screw failure

  If the drum slips on the shaft, one cable unwinds while the other tries to hold. This sudden imbalance can snap the loaded cable.

• Bottom bracket failure

  The bracket where the cable attaches at the door bottom occasionally cracks or pulls free, letting the cable whip free under tension.

• Coastal corrosion

  Salt-air pitting on uncoated cables can drop tensile strength 30–40% over 10+ years. Galvanized aircraft cables resist this far better.

• Spring imbalance

  An over- or under-tensioned spring puts uneven load on the cables and accelerates wear on the loaded side.
