We run garage door cable repair across Port Angeles East and the surrounding area and the wider Clallam County area — quick turnaround when you call early, flat-rate always, and guaranteed for ten years.
Set in Washington's cool, wet Pacific coast, Port Angeles East has mild temperatures year-round with heavy seasonal rain, persistent coastal cloud, and high ambient humidity. The practical result is salt-laden onshore wind that corrodes springs and cables, heavy rainfall and fog that rust steel hardware fast, and wind-driven rain that pits exposed fasteners, which is exactly what our parts selection targets.
If your Port Angeles East door is acting up, it's often moss-fouled, stiff rollers on shaded doors, rust-seized springs and cables in the wet climate, fastener rot loosening the door assembly, and drooping panels from waterlogged wood. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
Lift cables transfer the spring's stored energy to the door panels — they're under high tension every cycle and degrade slowly through fraying, corrosion, and mis-spooling on the drum. A cable repair visit replaces both cables (always replace as a pair so the door stays balanced), re-spools the drums to the correct number of wraps, recalibrates spring tension to match, and inspects related components like the bottom bracket where one end of each cable terminates.
Cables are galvanized aircraft-grade steel — typically 1/8-inch diameter for residential doors and 3/16-inch for heavier or commercial doors. We carry both diameters along with the bottom-bracket fittings, drum caps, and shaft set-screws that occasionally need replacement alongside the cables.
Cable failure usually leaves the door off-track or hanging crooked. Continuing to operate the opener after one cable has snapped causes the other side to take the full load and is the fastest way to bend tracks or damage panels. Stop the opener and call for repair when you see a frayed or snapped cable — fast service is standard.

If one corner is higher than the other when the door is fully down, one cable has stretched, slipped on the drum, or partially failed.
Snapped cable, door stuck
A fully snapped cable leaves the door off-track or jammed. Don't try to force it — call for repair.
Rust streaks on cables
Coastal homes see cable corrosion progress until the strands weaken. Visible rust means the cable is no longer at full strength.
Loud bang followed by crooked door
Cable snap sounds similar to spring snap but is usually quieter. If the door is crooked after the noise, suspect cable failure.
Common causes & what we fix
Mis-spooled drum
When a cable jumps off its drum groove, it crosses over itself and wears at the crossover point. Re-spooling fixes the spool but the wear point becomes the weak link.
Drum cap or set-screw failure
If the drum slips on the shaft, one cable unwinds while the other tries to hold. This sudden imbalance can snap the loaded cable.
Bottom bracket failure
The bracket where the cable attaches at the door bottom occasionally cracks or pulls free, letting the cable whip free under tension.
Coastal corrosion
Salt-air pitting on uncoated cables can drop tensile strength 30–40% over 10+ years. Galvanized aircraft cables resist this far better.
Spring imbalance
An over- or under-tensioned spring puts uneven load on the cables and accelerates wear on the loaded side.

Frequently asked about garage door cable repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Cable Repair near me ask us:
Census data puts 79% of Port Angeles East homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1973) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
Port Angeles East sits in mild temperatures year-round with heavy seasonal rain, persistent coastal cloud, and high ambient humidity. That is hard on a door — salt-laden onshore wind that corrodes springs and cables, heavy rainfall and fog that rust steel hardware fast, and wind-driven rain that pits exposed fasteners all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are moss-fouled, stiff rollers on shaded doors, rust-seized springs and cables in the wet climate, fastener rot loosening the door assembly, and drooping panels from waterlogged wood. We size springs and seals for Washington's cool, wet Pacific coast conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Most cable jobs run 45–60 minutes including spring tension verification and balance test. Add 15 minutes if drums also need replacement.
Cable repairs are quoted flat-rate before starting; the figure depends on whether the drums or a bottom bracket also need replacement. No surprises once you approve the written quote.
No — running the opener with a failed cable bends tracks and risks the door coming off the rail entirely. Disconnect the opener and avoid using the door until repair.
Cables on a balanced door wear at the same rate. The second cable is days to weeks behind the first. Replacing both at once is faster, cheaper than two visits, and properly re-balances the door.
