Garage Door Cable & Off-Track Repair for Idaho Falls, Idaho
Paul's Garage Door Inc handles garage door cable repair for Idaho Falls homes and businesses, usually the same day you call. You get a flat price on the phone and the same figure on the invoice, whatever hour we turn up.
A door sitting crooked in the opening has usually lost a cable on one side or jumped a roller. Either way the weight is now on one side of the door, and every further press of the button drags it further out of square.
Cables fray from the inside out, so a cable that looks like a wire brush has been failing for months. When we replace one we replace both and check the drums they wind onto — worn drums shred new cable in weeks.
Long, hard eastern Idaho winters are brutal on springs — cold steel is brittle steel, and most of our spring calls land between December and March.

What Idaho Falls customers say

We run four bays and he set us up on a maintenance schedule after the second breakdown. Haven't lost a bay since.

Door off the track after the wind got it. Straightened, re-railed, balanced, and he checked the whole thing over before leaving.

Opener was running but the door wouldn't budge. Stripped gear, apparently. He had the part on the truck and didn't try to sell me a whole new unit.

FAQ
Garage Door Cable & Off-Track Repair in Idaho Falls — your questions
My garage door is hanging crooked. Is that dangerous?
Yes. A door off its track or down a cable is carrying its whole weight on one side and can drop. Don't operate it, don't park under it, and call (888) 904-6236.
What causes a garage door to come off track?
A snapped cable, a seized roller, a bumper tap on the track, or forcing the opener against a door that was already binding. Most off-track doors are the result of a smaller fault that went unfixed.
Can you fix a bent garage door track?
Light bends can often be straightened on site. Track that's creased, split or pulled from the jamb gets replaced — straightening damaged track just means the door jumps again.
How often should garage door cables be replaced?
There's no fixed schedule, but cables fray from the inside and should be inspected yearly. Any visible broken strands means replace both sides now, not later.
Can you install a garage door opener I bought myself?
Yes. We'll fit a customer-supplied opener, though we'll check first that it's rated for your door's weight and height — an underpowered unit on a heavy insulated door is a short-lived opener.
Can you repair my door or do I need a new one?
Most doors can be repaired, and we'd rather fix yours than sell you one. The line we use: if the repair costs more than about half a new door, or you've paid for three repairs in two years, replacement is the cheaper road. We'll quote both and let you choose.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. The price we quote is the price you pay whether it's Tuesday lunchtime or two o'clock on Christmas morning. We don't run an overtime rate.
