Get Expert Help for Broken Garage Door Cables
Is your garage door stuck or opening unevenly? Hearing strange noises or seeing a loose cable hanging? These could be signs that your garage door cables are damaged, and waiting could make things worse.
Garage door cables do the heavy lifting. They support the weight of your door and work with the springs to raise and lower it. When cables fray, stretch, or snap, your door can jam, tilt to one side, or even come off track. Even the strongest garage door opener can’t work properly if the cables are worn out. Damaged cables can lead to bigger and costlier issues like broken springs, bent tracks, or motor failure.
We replace broken or worn cables quickly. Our trained technicians serve Woburn and nearby areas with affordable service you can rely on. Call 5 Star Garage Doors today for expert cable replacement in Woburn.

Why You Shouldn’t Try to Replace Garage Door Cables Yourself
Replacing garage door cables is not a simple DIY job. These cables hold a lot of tension, and if you try to handle them without proper training, you could get badly injured.
When a cable breaks or is close to snapping the garage door can become unbalanced. That means the door could fall suddenly or shift in a dangerous way. Without the right tools and experience, trying to fix it yourself can cause serious damage to the door and to you, too.
Our trained technicians know how to remove and replace broken cables. We use professional tools and follow proven methods to make sure your garage door works perfectly.
