Cable snapped Sunday night with my car inside the garage. Mo Better answered the phone at 7am Monday, was here by 10. Pulled both cables, replaced with stainless, retensioned, balanced the door. Car was out by lunch.

Door was hanging crooked for weeks. I assumed I needed a whole new door. Mo Better tech showed me one of my cables had stretched out, retensioned both, swapped a worn drum. $260 total, door looks new. Honest work.

Spring broke and took the cables with it. Mo Better tech ran the whole rebuild — matched-pair springs, both cables, both drums — in one visit, one written quote. Done in two hours. No upsells, no surprise add-ons.

Off-track rebuild + cable retension on a Sandy Springs door

Why do garage door cables snap?
Three causes, in order: (1) a spring failed and the cable took the full load until it gave; (2) rust and corrosion from humidity (especially coastal homes); (3) the cable jumped the drum and chewed itself up. Our 22-point tune-up catches all three before they snap.
How much does cable replacement cost in Atlanta?
Most Atlanta cable jobs run $180–$280 for a matched pair installed. If the drums are worn (often the case when a cable jumped), add $60–$120. If a spring also broke, the combo runs $380–$560. Every job is quoted in writing before any wrench moves.
Can I keep using the door with a snapped cable?
No. A door with one cable broken is carrying 2× the load on the remaining cable. If that one snaps mid-cycle, the door can drop fast enough to break itself, the opener, or whatever’s underneath (including a person). Stop using the door and call us. Same-day service across Metro ATL.
One cable broke. Should you replace both?
Yes — always. Cables wear together. The other cable has the same age, same humidity exposure, same cycles. It’s either already weakened or will be in 6–12 months. Matched-pair replacement gets you balanced opening, full 5-year warranty on the pair, no second service call.
Is there a warranty on the new cables?
Yes. Mo Better matched-pair cable installs come with a 5-year parts warranty. If a Mo Better-installed cable fails inside 5 years, we replace the matched pair free — parts and labor on us.
