Garage Door Cable Repair & Drum Re-Spooling in Edmonton, AB
7x19 aircraft-grade galvanized lift cables that resist road-salt fray and rust.
Frayed or snapped lift cables leave your garage door jammed at a dangerous angle. Because Edmonton vehicles track gravel and calcium-chloride road de-icer onto the garage floor all winter, bottom cable loops corrode rapidly. We install heavy-duty 1/8" and 5/32" 7x19 galvanized aircraft cables.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cable Repair
Why did my garage door cable come off the drum?
Usually either the door hit an obstacle (like packed snow/ice on the threshold) while closing, causing slack in the cable, or a torsion spring lost tension.
