I feel like climbing on top of my car and beating on my chest while yelling: King Kong ain't got nothin on me! Thanks to your video and easy to follow instructions I fixed my garage door cable after 2 weeks of having to leave it open [that was a bit frightening]. Trying to leave in a rush the door came down on a board I had leaning against the side. The door lifted up upon touching the board but my stubborn self wasn't paying attention so I hit the button again. Completely my fault and today/tonight my 17 yr old daughter and I got it back on track and it works! Thank you thank you THAAAAANK YOU from Killeen TX 😄

[@garagedoorgenius]

You're very welcome 😊! Mya good job fixing the issue. This makes my day! 💯

[@Chemtrails-dp9qx]

This video is 7 years old but the info doesn't age... dude, that whole tip with the vice grips in the track to hold the door up was insanely simple but I woulda never thought of that. Here I am holding this old wooden garage door open with one hand trying to prop a couple 4x4's to hold it... took 10 mins today to fix I appreciate you, thank you and God bless!

[@garagedoorgenius]

This comment made my day! I really appreciate the awesome feedback.

The first repair guy to post how to fix what's broken video is loved by us consumers but at the expense of all other repair guys. Now all repair guys must make educational videos to make money because of the first repair guy. I love KZbin.

I appreciate the comment! What a time to be alive. The era of KZbin and social media.

[@metallicaguy123]

Repair guy wanted to charge me $700 to completely take apart the garage stick and restring it himself. No thanks. I just did it myself and was my garage now opens evenly without issues which as sticky or wheels popping

[@garagedoorgenius]

@metallicaguy123 good job bud 👍🏼!

[@bacard1002]

Thanks for your video!. The vise-grip really helped and save me over $100! My Wife said, just call someone! Then she said, You can't fix that! Lol. Went on You-Tube & Fixed it in 5-10 minutes! I showed my Wife & she says, Whatever!

[@garagedoorgenius]

Bacard 100 BADASS brother! Nice job. Lmao @ the wifey!!

[@HiepNguyen-rj2zb]

I consider myself a lucky guy then .... I had that piece of wood panel blocking the way ...then the garage door hit it, having lose cable on one end and one of the wheels came off the rail on the other.....started off, I had an earful from my wife .... got the wheel put back to the rail after I removed the 3 nuts that hold the housing of the wheel then went backward steps to put the wheel in its place...... but the cable hanging lose was killing me...did not know what / how to do it ... the nagging and complaining still kept going on ....then I ran into this video ...5 minutes, got it fixed .... I have since been receiving lots of compliments from my wife....she seems to forgot I caused the problem in the first place :-) But I will take all the compliments coming my way, especially from her :-) ..... Bravo to Mr Garage Door Genius ....GENIUS INDEED.

[@gotonkar]

This video is great on several levels. 1) Presentation is great. Clear video. 2) Gets to the point. 3) And of course, the topic is relevant and incredibly useful. Cool tip about the vise grip. Didn't have one handy, but used some strong hand clamps. Due to garage clutter and tight spaces, I wound the cable while the door was down and duct taped it secure to itself temporarily. Then, pushed the door up, fastened the loop, and called it a day, marveling at my success...thanks to you. My only remaining curiosity is how the cable came off in the first place.

[@garagedoorgenius]

gotonkar Thank you so much for the kind words! Sometimes a cable will come off because it needs a little spring tension added.

Dude, thanks so much for this video. I have never had a manual garage door, and we just purchased a home with one. Unfortunately I let it run up really fast and it just went crazy. I saw one cable off on one side but just had no clue what to do, so this helped me get going again! Thanks so much.

[@craigape]

Wonderful video, perfect fix! The first time I tried spooling it back on I didn't have enough slack to reconnect it. On the second attempt it was perfectly lined up. My advice is if it doesn't line up, make sure it's spooled on tight and is on the track all the way around. Try again and you should get a perfect fix. As a slight addition, the throwing of the cable was caused by an object falling in the way, and then I believe the motor forced the door into a crooked position and slightly bent the rail on one side. I had to bend that back too to avoid continued problems. Double check your tracks on both sides if you have this problem before you roll it all the way down.

[@gasoven6881]

Awesome installation instruction which was super easy to follow, with clear video!!! -- I live up in Wisconsin and the winter road salt that the car tires bring into the garage eventually got onto one of the cables and eventually rusted it through until it snapped at the bottom connecting ring of the cable. Additional lesson: In my case, since the cable snapped I had to go to the hardware store to purchase a new cable. I learned that garage door cables come in different lengths, which are commensurate to the height of your garage door. So, if you have to purchase a new cable, save yourself that second trip to the store by first measuring the height of your door - from floor to top of door. My door is 7ft tall. The hardware store sell them at 7 and 8 feet as a package of two for $6.99. Thanks so much Garage Door Genius of Austin, TX for your clear instruction!

[@garagedoorgenius]

Thanks a lot for the awesome comment brother! I'm glad this video turned out the way it did. I'm originally from Indiana so I know what ya mean about the snow salt and that nasty frozen slush. Haha I haven't seen to much of that since being here in Texas. Thanks for explaining the height and how it matters. Definitely super important to get the right length cables. Stay warm up there! Cheers

Thank you for this video! I had the basic concept, but I was fighting against the spring. That was a pain in the ass. So like every good American, when they are up shits creek, I went to KZbin and found your video. Had it fixed in 10 minutes after that. One thing I kept doing wrong though, was I had my hand on the axel rod, and when it would turn, it would unwind the opposite side. I advise not to do that lol

[@bobs.629]

Was replacing the rollers in my 25 year old garage and the last roller was the cable one on the left. It got away from me and I ended up with the rat's nest of cable you show here. I was so tired I called a couple of places to see about getting someone to come over and fix them. After about 1/2 hour I was rested enough to look for a way to repair it on KZbin. I found your video and saw the easy fix. I went back down to the garage and followed your instruction (BTW, the other side had come undone as well). 20 minutes later my garage is working perfectly thanks to you! Great instructions! Simple steps! Good video quality! Called the 2 companies back and cancelled. Probably saved me a couple of hundred dollars. Thanks again!

Awesome comment! Thanks for the positive feedback. 😎👍🏼

[@eadserab]

Thanks so much for the advice! You saved me a few hours and about $150. Really easy fix. Just be careful, and make sure the door is even before winding up the cable! Otherwise the hook won't reach.

[@volcanochaser]

One of the bolts which hold one of the rails to the ceiling came off and the rail went sideways causing some of the wheels on both rails to come off and a couple of panels to dangle. One of the cables also spun off. I propped up the panels and used a cable puller to pull the rails back in alignment. I reinstalled the wheels and wondered if I had a major problem getting the cable back on the spring pulley or if the springs had lost tension. Thanks to your video it turned out to be the easiest part of the job, and the door works just fine with no expenses except for my time.

[@garagedoorgenius]

My garage door cable I found was wound up opposite of how you show in this video. I noticed it rubs against the metal parts. I'm thinking I need to wind up the cord the way you have it on the drum.

[@garagedoorgenius]

If your tracking is Low Headroom then your cables will run on the front side of the drum. If your tracks look like the tracks in the video, then yes wind up from the back of the drum.

[@Jaggedhalo66]

My right cable keeps coming off after a few days, Any pointers on what the cause can be? Thanks.

[@garagedoorgenius]

Does the door stay up in the header or does it float down? Could be a stretched cable or frayed. Making one longer than the other. Track spacing and level horizontals help. You could need a little bit of tension applied to the spring. I would inspect the cable. Make sure there isn't an obvious fray in one of the cables.

[@Gr8Arshad]

I bet the folks that thumb downed this video are the garage door installers. Guess they didnt like that you costed them easy 100 bucks for a 5 minutes job. 😅

@@garagedoorgenius I thought it was hilarious. I had to play it back a few times to make sure I didnt have a different video window open or something. Lol Awesome video by the way!! I am totally going to fix my garage in the morning now. Thanks!!!

[@garagedoorgenius]

@@amandag1448 that's so funny! Good luck tomorrow. You got this!! 😉 And you're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for providing your knowhow. This video was very helpful. It confirmed my original thoughts and provided some details that I had not considered. My garage door was stuck part way up with the cable off the right side of the take up drum. I used two 2x4s the same length to support the door on each side while I detached the cable and rewound it on the drum. Works like a new door now!

[@satinderarora652]

Amazing video. It is so nicely done that even a "not very technical" person like me was able to fix the garage door cable within minutes. Thank You so much! Greatly appreciate it.

[@garagedoorgenius]

I appreciate your awesome feedback! 👍🏼

NIce, dont understand how you got 10 thumb down's, but to each his own.

[@bud11dy]

Oh, I have a garage door opener on mine. Does the garage door have to be open, or can I do it while it is closed? Thanks

[@garagedoorgenius]

bud11dy Thanks man! Can't make everyone happy I guess.

[@garagedoorgenius]

bud11dy When it's open the tension from the springs are not as powerful. So your able to manipulate the cable back on pretty easy. When it's closed you have to worry about the spring tension. Which generally you can just bar the spring's and reset the cables. Then reapply the tension.

the thumbs down came from garage door masters ...via this video they've lost thousands and keep losing.

[@garagedoorgenius]

I just like helping people. Some folks this repair would be more than they could handle. But for most, easy fix! Save money!!

[@JamesReedy]

Copy pasta my PayPal…sent you $20.00 Bro, closed the door on a piece of plywood leaned against the track. No door damage but the cable went nuts with one side a foot higher than the other. So-called 24 hour service quoted $500 and see you at 2-6PM; I need to close my fucking door to sleep. Suffice to say it was a BITCH, no corner access, had to do it from the front in the triangle created by a partially open door but it’s DONE! You tha man…

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Wow! THIS is how you KZbin! Watched your video, Fixed my garage door myself. $100 is on its way to your paypal account. Thank you!

Thanks for the positive feedback! 🙏

[@dannyarroyo3084]

Thank you so much, a ladder was in the way and knocked the doors spring off track. I thought I was gonna have to pay hundreds to fix it. Was able to do it in about 20 minutes, thank you so much.

[@garagedoorgenius]

You're welcome Danny💯!

[@cassandrab5997]

Went to put my Grandma's garage door down & she had a flower pot sticking out of the garage slightly that the garage door sensor didn't sense, the garage door hit it as was almost down & just stopped/jammed... the left cable came off... got the neighbor bachelor to come help, struggled for a while trying different things, found ur video just when we wanted to quit & saved me a service call & bill from a garage door company tomorrow, TY, TY, TY!!! The only thing is her loop on the cable was much tighter than yours, I had to pry it off/on w/ a flathead, but got it done so thanks so much for the quick fix it video! With KZbin, I can fix almost anything lol

[@garagedoorgenius]

Nice work! Getting after it and getting it done.

[@juanm_23]

Thank you for this video! Didn’t think it would be as straightforward as it actually is. Called around and garage repair guys trying to charge an arm and a leg for this. I said no way and turned to KZbin and your video was it! Saved me money for sure.

[@garagedoorgenius]

[@DudeEggs]

Im fairly new to this trade after becoming fluent in 5 others and I must say it is by far the best of the bunch. Least hours, most money and easiest work of the bunch. I got more respect in the community when I was a fire fighter, but, thats only a plus for people who have a constant desire to have their ego stroked as a hero.

[@garagedoorgenius]

This trade I wouldn't give for anything. You ask any carpenter if they like installing garage doors and they absolutely hate it. A lot of people have a misconception about the springs and how deadly they are. Yes they can give you a very bad day quickly. But as long as you focus and take your time it's not bad. You have to think that most people have a garage door. And that garage door is used at least twice a day if not more. So we are the guys that keep that system up and rolling with no issues. There is no other door on a house that is used the more than a garage door. So with that being said that makes me proud of what I do. Stick with it my friend. You'll see the benefits from this trade. It has an amazing community as well on social media. Not so much on Facebook but here on KZbin you couldn't ask for a better group of people.

[@joelsegovia6971]

Thank you so much!! I fixed my garage door by doing this !!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@heatherhillrd]

10 times better than the other piece of video garbage I watched of a pro who was yapping the whole time and didn't video anything he did despite the 'fabulous' reviews. Great camera work here, easy explanation and now I actually know what to do. You also explained it in half the time. Nice Going Garage Door Genius! 10 stars!
