Cable Repair FAQ
Answers about garage door cable repair in La Vergne, TN.
Do you offer free estimates on a new garage door installation in La Vergne?
Yes. New-door installs and full opener replacements always include a free on-site measurement, a written firm-price quote, and brand options before you commit - no call-out fee. Most new-door quotes turn around same-day or next-day.
My garage door spring is broken - how soon can you replace it in La Vergne?
Same-day in most cases. A broken spring is one of our most frequent calls. Don't try to operate the door manually - the spring carries 100+ pounds of stored tension and is the most dangerous part on the door. We replace the spring (single or matched pair), test balance, and have the door cycling again, usually within an hour on-site.
Should I replace one spring or both when one breaks?
We almost always recommend the matched pair, even if only one snapped. The other spring has the same age and cycle count and is usually months from failing. Doing both in one visit keeps the door balanced and means the next break won't happen with your car trapped inside.
My garage door cable snapped or came off the drum - can you fix it?
Yes - a same-day fix in most cases. Symptoms: the door hangs at an angle, barely opens then stops, or you heard a loud bang followed by the door dropping a few inches. The tech re-spools the cable on the drum, tests tension, and replaces both cables if either is frayed.
My safety sensors are blinking and the door won't close - how do I fix it?
The two photo-eye sensors near the floor must see each other in a straight line. Common causes: one knocked out of alignment, a dirty lens, a kinked wire, or sun glare. Wipe both lenses and check alignment; if that doesn't fix it, a sensor or the wire run is bad and we replace it on-site.
