A snapped garage door cable in Alexandria often follows a broken spring or years of wear. It needs prompt attention before the door comes off the tracks.

There's a local angle to a snapped garage door cable in Alexandria: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and snow & ice jam tracks. Our Alexandria techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your snapped garage door cable

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A broken spring

When a spring fails, the cables take the strain and can snap next.

Rust and fraying

Moisture corrodes cables until a strand lets go.

Drum or pulley misalignment

A cable that jumps the drum frays and breaks.

How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Alexandria pro

We replace the cables (and the spring if it failed), re-spool the drums, and balance-test the door.
