If your garage door has suddenly dropped on one side, become stuck halfway, or feels dangerously heavy, this is usually caused by a snapped or failing garage door cable. Cable failures are one of the most common faults we repair across Tonbridge and the surrounding areas.
Garage door cables work together with the spring system to safely lift and lower the door. When a cable snaps, tension becomes uneven and the door can twist in the tracks, jam suddenly, or place extreme strain on the motor and springs. Continuing to use the door in this condition can cause serious damage and is unsafe.
We provide professional garage door cable repairs in Tonbridge for all major brands including Hörmann, Garador, Henderson, Cardale and many more. Whether your door is a sectional, up-and-over or roller garage door, cable wear and corrosion can eventually lead to sudden failure.
Common signs your garage door cable has failed:
Door hanging lower on one side
Loud bang from the garage
Door stuck halfway
Motor struggling or stopping
Door feeling extremely heavy
Our Tonbridge cable repair service includes:
Replacement of snapped garage door cables
Spring tension rebalancing
Inspection of drums, rollers and tracks
Full safety checks

Garage door cables are under high tension and should never be repaired as a DIY job. We use the correct cable ratings and professional tools to ensure safe long-term operation.
If your garage door cable has snapped in Tonbridge, stop using the door immediately and get it repaired properly before further damage occurs.
