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

Why does this keep happening in Paterson? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a snapped garage door cable is one of the more common calls our Paterson crews run.

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 Paterson pro

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