Perfect! One side broke at the bottom loop and so I figured I'd go to Lowes and grab a replacement. As you mentioned, they only sell the longer extension spring cables, but I thought I could cut it and crimp a barrel on it. Wrong! Regular pliers do not work for this. Scavenged a cable from the door we don't use and tried for an hour to get it on. Seemed impossible with the cable tension so I called for service, but they were closed for the day. Watched this video, ordered the right parts and a pair of vise grips on Amazon and they arrived the next day. In 30 minutes, I replaced the broke cable and did the other side too since that cable was frayed. Not a lot of room to work on the ladder, but I got it done and saved a large service fee. Thanks again!
Can this be done with the door closed? My cable broke, and the door is closed. I have door insulation on there, so it weighs a ton. I can barely wedge it open using a crowbar.
Great idea. Instead of winding the cable around the drum a bunch of times you could loosen the drum and spin the drum winding the cable until it’s snug
I wonder how many diy guys on here ended up in the ER trying to do this.
"you're going to want to open the door first" ... except the door is down because the cable broke - a bit difficult to reopen. And boy, I wish I had a nice empty garage with nothing on the side of doors.
Dude, I followed your steps to the Tee and got it done in like 10 minutes. You saved me at least $200!! Can't thank you enough! What happened to my door: came down on a hard object on one side and the cable came undone (strangely, the door didn't back up upon hitting something). My cable was intact so I reused it. :D
Dude, You just save me about $250 bucks! I was changing out the metal rollers to a nylon rollers when the spring cables became untangle. After watching your video, I was able to fix the spring cable myself without calling a professional. Good job!
Wow. What a game changer. I used to unload and reload the torsion springs to do this job. Took me a fraction of the time and was also much safer to do it this way. Thanks!
My right side garage door tension cable broke last night and when i pushed the garage door close button it closed halh way and came back again is this because of 1 side tension cable broke or is this something else
I have so much slack left on the other side you mention nothing about that or what to do in that case?
Video still saving asses in 2023. The cable looked loose at first when we hooked it on but once you do the other side it’s good.
A shockingly fast, flawless fix. Thank you, very much. If there is a Menards store in your state, you might find the cables sets for the 8’ and 7’ foot doors in the aisle- I did tonight. My store had them mixed on the hook, so make sure you grab the right set. They have a cheap 3 pack of vise grips too, if yours have gone missing.
Very helpful. Have been residentially installing garage doors for over 1.75 years and have yet to try a trick like that. Cool channel.
My cable broke last night. Got a new set today, watched this video and installed them! Thank you for making this video!!
Thank you so much... we lost one line with a shovel issue and then the next day it was another rake on the other side.. so got the lines like you had and replaced both and now I save some $$$
Easy 5 minute fix. Thank you for a clear video tutorial!
You the man. Saved me a headache. Had a cable pop out thought i was fucked.... boy did you prove me wrong. Thanks for the video it helped me get my door fixed. Cheers mate
Worked perfectly and easily and quickly explained. Thank you! Perfect example of how to do that without all the BS and attitude of other videos. Subscribed.
Worked like a charm! The hard part was I had to lower the door while I waited for the cables to be delivered so raising the door was really hard--I ended up using a car jack to get it started.
