Cable Snapped? Here's What to Do

A broken cable means the door is no longer balanced and could fall unexpectedly. Do NOT attempt to open or close the door. Disconnect the opener. Keep people and pets away. Call a professional immediately.

Cable replacement typically costs $150–$250 and should only be done by a licensed technician due to the spring tension involved.
