A broken or malfunctioning cable is one of the most common issues affecting commercial garage doors. Cables play a crucial role in the smooth and balanced operation of your door, and when they break or wear down, the door can become difficult or even dangerous to operate. At Open Sesame Commercial Garage Door Repair, we specialize in broken cable repair, providing fast, reliable, and professional service to get your door back in working order.

Comprehensive Broken Cable Repair Services

Commercial garage doors rely on high-tension cables to lift and lower the door. When a cable snaps or frays, the door can become stuck, off-balance, or fall unexpectedly, posing a risk to your property and employees. Our team of skilled technicians can quickly diagnose and repair broken cables, ensuring your door is safe and operational.

1. Inspection and Diagnosis

The first step in fixing a broken cable is a thorough inspection of the door’s components to determine the extent of the damage. Our technicians will check the cables, springs, pulleys, and tracks to identify any issues that could be contributing to the cable failure.

2. Cable Replacement

If the cable is broken or too worn to be safely repaired, we will replace it with a high-quality commercial-grade cable. We ensure the new cables are properly tensioned and aligned with the door’s springs and pulleys to restore smooth and balanced operation.

3. Tension Adjustment

Proper tension is critical to the safe operation of commercial garage doors. After replacing the cable, we will adjust the tension to ensure the door opens and closes smoothly, without putting undue stress on the cables or springs.

4. Preventative Maintenance

To help prevent future cable issues, we also offer preventative maintenance services. This includes lubricating the door’s moving parts, inspecting the cables for signs of wear, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure your door remains in optimal condition.

5. Emergency Broken Cable Repair

A broken cable can cause your commercial garage door to become inoperable, halting your business operations. We offer emergency broken cable repair services to quickly address the issue and get your door back up and running with minimal downtime.
