FAQ

Questions about this repair request

We connect homeowners with independent local garage door repair technicians. We do not directly perform garage door repairs.

Is a loose garage door cable urgent?

It can be. Avoid using an uneven or unstable door and describe the position of the door in the request.

Should I try to wind the cable back on?

No. Cable and spring systems can be hazardous. Request help instead of trying to reset tensioned parts.

What photos would be useful?

Photos from a safe distance can help when a photo upload workflow is available, but do not stand under or close to an unstable garage door.
