Garage door cables are under constant tension and eventually fray, snap, or slip off the drum — leaving the door crooked, jammed, or unable to operate safely. Coytown Garage Door Services handles same-day cable repairs across Orlando with replacement cables on every truck. Based right here in the city, we respond faster than anyone and include a free on-site estimate with every call. If your door is hanging unevenly or making scraping noises, a cable issue is likely the cause.
Why Orlando Homes Need Garage Door Cable Repair
Orlando's diverse housing stock means we see cable issues on every type of garage door system. On older homes in neighborhoods like College Park and Thornton Park, cables may have been in service for years past their recommended replacement interval. On newer builds across the city, builder-grade cables can fray prematurely if the door is slightly out of balance or the drums were not properly aligned during installation. Regardless of the home's age, cable wear follows a predictable pattern: the strands begin to fray where the cable wraps around the drum, eventually weakening to the point where one side snaps and the door drops or hangs crookedly.
Florida's humidity is particularly hard on garage door cables. The steel strands absorb moisture from the air, and in garages that are not well-sealed, condensation can form directly on the cable surface. Over time, this moisture promotes corrosion that weakens individual strands from the inside out. Orlando's heat adds to the problem by causing the metal to expand and contract daily, accelerating fatigue at the points where the cable bends around the drum and the bottom bracket. Cables in a dry northern climate may last years longer than identical cables in Central Florida.
What to Expect from Our Orlando Service
Most cable repair calls we handle in Orlando involve one of three scenarios: a cable that has snapped completely and left the door hanging at an angle, a cable that has slipped off the drum and jammed the door partway open, or cables that are visibly frayed and need replacement before they fail completely. When a cable breaks, we almost always recommend replacing both cables at the same time because the remaining cable has been under the same conditions and is likely close to failure as well.
As an Orlando-based company, we reach any address in the city within about thirty minutes. Cable repairs are typically completed in under ninety minutes. Every call starts with a free on-site estimate, and we carry the cable sizes and hardware needed for standard residential garage doors.
About Pricing
Cable repair costs in Orlando depend on the cable type, door configuration, and whether one or both cables need replacing. We provide a free on-site estimate so you see the complete price before any work begins. Both cables are usually replaced together for reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to my Orlando home for a cable repair?
Orlando is our home base, so we can typically reach any address in the city within 30 to 60 minutes during regular hours. Cable repairs are a common call for us and we keep our schedule flexible to accommodate same-day service. Available seven days a week.
How can I tell if my garage door cable is about to break?
Look for visible fraying where the cable wraps around the drum at the top of the door. If you see individual wire strands sticking out or the cable looks fuzzy, it is nearing failure. Other signs include the door hanging slightly unevenly, scraping noises during operation, or the door feeling jerky as it moves.
Is a broken cable dangerous?
Yes. A snapped cable under tension can whip with significant force, and a door that loses cable support on one side can drop suddenly or hang at a dangerous angle. Do not attempt to operate a door with a broken or frayed cable. Call us for a same-day repair and stay clear of the door until we arrive.
