Garage Door Cable and Off Track Repair for Katy homes and businesses
Cables snap for a reason: corrosion at the bottom bracket, fraying against a worn drum, or slack from a door left half open too long. We fix the cause as well as the cable on every Katy job.
Cables are always replaced as a pair and both drums re-set, because a door that drops unevenly will pull itself off track again within weeks. We finish with a full balance check and a safety reversal test.

Garage Door Cable and Off Track Repair questions from Katy customers
Is a door off its track dangerous?
It can be. The door's weight is being held by hardware that isn't designed to carry it at that angle, and running the opener can drop the door or fold a panel. Leave it where it is, keep people and cars clear, and call us.
Why did the cable snap?
Usually corrosion at the bottom bracket where water sits, fraying against a worn drum, or slack introduced when the door was left partly open for a long time. We replace cables in pairs and re-set both drums so the door drops evenly.
Can bent track be straightened or does it need replacing?
Light bowing can often be straightened and re-anchored. Kinks, flat spots and crushed sections need replacing, because a roller riding over a damaged section will keep jumping out no matter how well it's re-seated.
How much does garage door repair cost in Katy?
The common jobs land in fairly predictable ranges: a spring replacement in Katy typically runs $180 to $420 depending on the spring size and whether you have one spring or two, cable and roller work $130 to $360, and opener repairs $110 to $380. We quote a flat price before any work starts, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
Do you charge a call out fee in Katy?
No call out fee for standard repair appointments in Katy. The technician diagnoses the door, gives you a flat price, and you decide from there. If you go ahead, the diagnosis is included in the job.
My garage door won't open. What should I check first?
Look above the door at the torsion spring. If you can see a two inch gap in the coil, the spring has broken and the door is far too heavy to lift, so stop trying. If the spring looks intact, check the safety sensors near the floor for a blinking light or an obstruction, then check the opener has power. If the motor runs but the door doesn't move, the drive gear or trolley is usually the culprit.
