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

A snapped garage door cable rarely happens in a vacuum. Pasadena's coastal salt air and inland heat wears doors down — inland heat strains openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every late-summer heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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 Pasadena pro

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