how to replace my broken garage door cable

Bravo, this is how a DIY video is done!!! No life story, no unnecessary commentary, no explaining the same thing over and over again. Just straight to the task with good lighting and camera angles. I especially like how you sped up the video slightly while still allowing us the understand what you're saying. Nice job.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching my video. I hope I brought you some value.
Great video to a construction pro from a construction pro! I never did this before but at 75 I was simpler to DIY then to pay $200 plus a $40 cable for a specialist to replace one broken cable. I ordered a better 1/8 stainless steel cable for $18 on the internet and it arrived in a few days. This material is harder to cut, bend and tie than what the video shows. I expected this when I ordered it, but I worked with this type of cable before. It is tougher and lasts and doesn't cost much more. The loop at the end for the door was the perfect size. When I attached the cable thru the three-hole plate to the S hook, I made only one knot and left the excess in a coiled loop that could not slip thru. The original cable was this way. The stainless cable being much stiffer will never untie itself. I also used electric tape to secure the coil. I made one mistake on the blind side next to a wall. The rear pully has a guide attached to it for the safety cable. When the pully is oriented correctly the safety cable will be to the outside. Mine wasn't and the guide cables were tangled with the safety cable. As soon as I reversed this with the safety cable to the outside everything looked right and worked fine. Perhaps this will be helpful to another beginner. I did both in a hour. Thanks much! 🤓👍👍
Old retired guy here. Thank you for saving me some of my fixed income. 🙏
Nice helpful video. Don't grease the tracks. They don't need it and it will only attract dirt and debris and gum them up.
You should also change that badly rusted bottom bracket. If that corrosion continues, sooner or later the stud that you loop the cable around at the bottom of the door will snap off.
thank you for the video. helped me get my door alignment problem fixed after installing a new garage door opener and opening said door for the first time in a long time
You put the vice grips on the wrong side of the track.
Never pinch the rounded side. Pinch on the flat side.
The rollers have to ride in the rounded side and if you pinch it closed then the rollers might bind up on the pinched rounded side.
Wrap some duct or electrical tape around the cable where you are going to cut it.
This will keep the end from unraveling after you make the cut.
Thank you very much for the information. All very good tips.
Outstanding video! I saved hours of frustration by watching your step by step guide in replacing the cables. Thank you!
Glad it helped
Thank you for the great video. Fixed my elderly neighbor's garage cable by following your video.
Thanks from Mike in Montreal
Glad to help
Thank you for this great video. I can build a home, but figured this would be a struggle. Replaced cables and some pulleys and was done in an hr,thanks to your helpful you tube post, if I knew you I would buy you lunch.
You are welcome www.buymeacoffee.com/yourreviewchannel
Thank you for sharing. Exactly what I was looking for.
So simplified
Thanks, save me a lot of thought and time.would like to have sent more...
Thank you for this video. I didn’t know how I was going to handle the double loops on each end of the replacement cord. And I t makes sense to measure the old cable, great instructions!.
Glad it helped!
Really good simple video; saved me a service call; thanks for posting !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job !!!
Glad it helped
Nice video. Needed sane replacement.
Great vid, this is like my garage door and springs. Very helpful, thank you 👍
Glad it helped
Great video! Helped me replace a cable in a very short period of time with no hassle
Glad it helped
Great job man, I really appreciate it. My garage door looks very similar to yours, seen your video I'm confident that I can replace both cables and save some money. Thanks a lot for the demonstration.
Glad I could help
Thanks man! This helped a lot. I’m glad I don’t have to pay someone to do it.
Glad I could help
Thank you! We have the same garage door and you solved our problem!!
Glad it helped!
Great video man. This was just as easy as you made it look. I was able to replace both cables and all 4 pulleys for ~$50 and about an hour of work. Hate to imagine what a repair company would have charged.
Just to replace a cable it was $150 to come out and $40 for the cables. I'm handy as a retired plumber, I'll do it myself! Thanks for a great teaching video!🤓👍👍
Have to change my springs and pulleys as well. Will need to modify bracket a bit for new pulley, old ones 2 1/2" new 3".
Good job thx
Thank you for your video
I will try to fix by myself
You are welcome
Thank you so much! I just fixed my door for $10.00 instead of calling a garage repairman. Great video.
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching my video.

Ty for helping me avoid a bill with overhead door
Thank you and Please subscribe
Thank you

Nice profession video. My cable came off the pulley after 30 uses of the door. Spring is extended and wire lodged off the pully. Have no idea yet how to get wire back on pulley. The cable was tight and the extra ends were securely tight, looped correctly with several U clamps on cable. HELP ANYONE...
It’s possible the door rollers are sticking. And causing extra stress on the door. Only way to restring it is to take off the springs like I show you in the video and start that way. I actually did a video on replacing the door springs, you can also watch that as well to give you some ideas.
bro wore latex gloves like thats gonna protect him from steel cable splinters
Actually that cable is greasy as heck. He was changing a extension cable which isn't dangerous. It is the torsion cable version which has a ton of tension on it and people lose their fingers when it releases
Thx much
You're welcome!
"The cables ah stahtin' ta fray on my single cah gahrahge door." But fixin' it ain't wicked hahd." LOL
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s wicked easy lol.
Welp, you just saved me a bunch of cash! Thanks!!
Glad I could help!
Ancient setup
Thank you for the video, do you have a video on how to replace the spring? Mine is starting to look to expanded compared to my 2nd garage door (we use this garage door all the time vs the other) thanks
Yes i do check out this video. and thank you for watching my videos. ruclips.net/video/fqQ6OT_w4v0/видео.html
How can I determine the replacement spring on this set up my spring hook broke. I have to replace both cable all undone as well
Yes replace both sides. Look at the color of the spring and match it up. If you can't find any color google the manufacturer
Disconnect both spring cables so door rolls freely and close the door (Be careful so they don't slam to the ground). Place a bathroom scale under the center of the door and then you will have the door weight needed to purchase the proper spring. Write this weight somewhere on the garage ceiling where you will find it next time one breaks.
Why new cables have bigger loops and at both ends, they will pop off
No, they won’t pop off, but they are annoying the deal with
Thay have not the presser keeps them on
FYI, the link doesn’t seem to work. I think that exact item probably isn’t available anymore.
Just wanted to thank you for the video. Watched it and replaced the cables ten minutes later.
I’m glad I could help. Thank you for watching. Please don’t forget to subscribe.

My door is old and no drop in parts available. Springs, pulleys, and cables need to be replaced. Have to modify bracket with fixed pulley for 3" replacement pulleys. Also, header bracket is screwed to is termite eaten so will dip lag screws in epoxy and insert and let dry. Once I tackle replacement of 11" of header wall and new door will buzz off lag screw heads off with angle grinder. This job will take a week to complete; just fixing door for now to get through 2024. Replacing the wall and door will be a 2025 project.
I’d be concerned about that rust on the bottom bracket just as much as I would on the frayed cable
Ya but it was solid
Good video. Btw your spring is bad
Yeah I know. I did make a video and replacing my springs lol
Why did you change the knot on the bracket from the original? The new knot does not look like a self-tightening one, and may be more dangerous.
The original cable is no longer available with a small knot. Once you add attention, it will not fall off. I had no issues at all. Thank you for your question.
, How do you route the cable from the Spring
Follow the video it will help you
Are u there its really hot 🔥 here brother
@@tonyking234 What do you mean
The cable you replaced is the garage door lift cable? I guess I forgot to buy that
Funny acceny! 🙃
Where do you buy the cable
Check out the link in the description
Home depot, lol

Gloves are good, yes, but only cut resistant ones. Not surgical rubber gloves that tear with a fingernail
OMG so true
What if your cable doesn't come off because it's held on by a rivet or pin?
Cut it off
@Your Review Channel How can I get the new cable on?
I don't even need a new cable, it's just off the spool.
Feeling pretty stupid here. So there's another cable that goes through the spring?
Yes, that is correct. If you watch my other video how to change the garage door springs, you will see how to do that.
The cable that runs through the spring is designed to keep the spring in place in case of spring failure. That spring is under a great amount of tension when the door is closed. When the spring breaks it is usually when the door is in operation. So the cable keeps the spring in place when it fails as opposed to breaking and flying creating a possible fatal injury if it head someone in the head or creates a lot of damage to anything that it might hit. So it’s important to have one in place.
This guys voice is cringe central
i replaced cable but now door jerks and goes down crookedass....
Could need new springs
