Mobile garage door cable replacement across Perth

Affordable Garage Door Repairs is a mobile garage door service across Perth. We take the call, give you a time, and replace the cable ourselves.

Because the cable, the drum and the spring all work together, we do not just swap the one broken cable and leave. We check the drum it winds onto, the spring that loads it, and the cable on the other side, since a door that snapped one cable is often about to snap the second. We replace cables in pairs where that is the sensible call and tell you why.

A snapped cable can leave the door under load and unsafe to touch, so leave it where it is and let us handle it rather than trying to force the door.

Questions

Garage door cable replacement in Perth: common questions

Why did my garage door cable snap?

Cables fail from age, from rust in coastal and damp Perth garages, or because a spring broke and threw the cable off its drum. If the cable frayed for months it eventually lets go on its own. We check the cause, not just the cable, so the fix lasts. Ring 0455 515 428.

Should both cables be replaced at once?

Often, yes. The two cables are the same age and under the same load, so when one goes the other is usually not far behind. Replacing them as a pair saves a second callout weeks later. We will tell you honestly whether your second cable has life left or should be done now.

Is a broken garage door cable dangerous?

It can be. A door with a failed cable may be under uneven load and can drop or move unexpectedly if you force it. Leave the door where it is, keep hands and cars clear, and let us release the load safely. Do not keep hammering the remote hoping it will right itself.
