Common questions

Cable Repair FAQ

Answers about garage door cable repair in North Fayette, PA.

Should I replace one spring or both when one breaks?

We almost always recommend the matched pair, even if only one snapped. The other spring has the same age and cycle count and is usually months from failing. Doing both in one visit keeps the door balanced and means the next break won't happen with your car trapped inside.

My garage door cable snapped or came off the drum - can you fix it?

Yes - a same-day fix in most cases. Symptoms: the door hangs at an angle, barely opens then stops, or you heard a loud bang followed by the door dropping a few inches. The tech re-spools the cable on the drum, tests tension, and replaces both cables if either is frayed.

The opener works from the wall button but not the remote - what's wrong?

Usually a dead remote battery, a remote that needs reprogramming, or a receiver issue in the opener head. We carry universal remotes and keypads that work with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Marantec, Craftsman, and most older Wayne Dalton units - reprogramming is a 10-minute job on any service call.

My safety sensors are blinking and the door won't close - how do I fix it?

The two photo-eye sensors near the floor must see each other in a straight line. Common causes: one knocked out of alignment, a dirty lens, a kinked wire, or sun glare. Wipe both lenses and check alignment; if that doesn't fix it, a sensor or the wire run is bad and we replace it on-site.

Do you install single-car, double-car, and oversized garage doors in North Fayette?

Yes - single-car 8x7 and 9x7, double-car 16x7, and oversized 18-footer and 14-foot RV doors. Custom doors take longer lead time on the door itself, but install is the same day as delivery. Every new-door quote starts with a free on-site measurement and a written firm price.

Can I replace just one panel instead of the whole door?

Often, yes - if the rest of the door is structurally sound and we can source a matching panel. Single-panel replacement is meaningfully cheaper than a full new door. The tech checks panel availability and color match during the free inspection.
