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

Living with Scranton's freezing winters means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. snow & ice jam tracks and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a snapped garage door cable, which is why our Lackawanna County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

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 Scranton pro

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