One of the tension cables broke on my garage door, so it's not closing properly.
Can someone recommend somewhere I can call to have someone come and fix it?
Thanks

I had my spring snap during that -45 weather week, and boy did it suck ass manually lifting and closing the door every time...
Home Depot maybe?

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
This happened to my garage and it was a pain in the ass because the cable broke as the garage was closing. Half the door was like hanging down, so annoying..

This is the guy I used and he's pretty cheap, works fast and is good quality (for me anyway). He'll even let you know how to maintain the garage door / cable / and things that are bad for it (like warming up the car and leaving the garage door open slightly instead of all the way.
Fair warning though, when he shows up he might smell like alcohol but that doesn't effect his work I guess haha. He works for a bigger company but also fixes garages on the side.
Smell like alcohol? We all drink cuz the work is hard.
I tried the # and it says it's not in service. Can you double check the # you have for him?Originally posted by defekt1

We had ours snap a year or so ago right as the door was shutting.
Door dropped half way down, went off square and bent the shit out of the track. It looked like it was all about to come down. That wasn't a cheap fix haha.

DIY!
Had the same thing happen to me and I just looked it up on the internet on how to fix the parts.
I wound my own spring (dangerous!) and re-seat those cables.
Creative Door Services is the best company I have dealt with

They have all the parts you need and they can also wound a new spring for you (if needed).
