Cables as a pair
A snapped cable is a drums-and-balance job. The other cable is usually tired. We look at both, not only the broken one.
Hardware that failed on the door
Garage door cables, tracks, rollers and panels in Somerset West
Garage door cables, tracks, rollers and panels in Somerset West. We repair the hardware on the door when a cable, track, roller or panel has failed. Photos of the door and the suburb start the quote.
01
Hardware should be replaced as the part that failed — cables, tracks, rollers, panels — not buried in a catch-all repairs essay.
Cables, tracks, rollers and panels are the hardware that keeps a garage door travelling true. Somerset West Garage Doors replaces them on sectional, roll-up and tip-up doors in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay. A stuck, off-track or noisy door, or a motor fault, stays on the repairs page. Cables wind on drums; one snap often predicts the other. Tracks that have moved put the leaf off-line. Worn rollers scream and shake the door. A hit or rusted panel can be replaced without hanging a whole new leaf when the rest of the door is sound - panel replacement is a site call, not a default new door. Alignment and brackets belong in the same look. We will not turn this page into a pulley and bracket catalogue, and we will not invent a hardware brand wall.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Tracks, rollers, alignment
Off-track and noisy travel often live here. We set the tracks, replace worn rollers, and test that the leaf runs true before the motor takes it.
Panels when the rest of the door is sound
A dented or rusted panel can come off without a whole new leaf. If the door is finished, we will say replace rather than patch.
Good fit for
Practical solutions for real properties.
The work is assessed according to use, condition, access and the result required.
- ↗A broken garage-door cable in Somerset West
- ↗A leaf that has left the tracks or rolls with a screech
- ↗Worn rollers, shifted brackets, or a door that has gone off-line
- ↗A damaged panel on a door that is otherwise worth keeping

Straight answers
Questions about cables, tracks, rollers and panels.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Why is this not on the repairs page?+
Repairs is the live visit: stuck, off-track, noisy, motor faults. This page is the hardware that failed - cables, tracks, rollers and panels.
One cable snapped — do you replace both?+
Usually both. They wear together. The visit confirms.
Can you replace a panel instead of the whole door?+
Sometimes. If the rest of the leaf is sound, a panel can come off. If the door is rusted or twisted, we will say a new leaf.
