Yes, Home Depot does sell garage door cables both in physical stores and online, making it a convenient source for DIY replacement, though selection may be limited to common sizes and professional installation is still recommended. In the garage door parts aisle at Home Depot, you can find universal garage door cables for 7 foot and 8 foot doors, including torsion spring cables that wind around drums above the door and extension spring cables that run through pulleys along tracks, typically sold as pairs costing 15 to 40 dollars per pair, made of galvanized aircraft-grade steel with looped ends. Home Depot also sells cable repair kits that include cables, fasteners, and sometimes drums, costing 20 to 50 dollars. Online at homedepot.com, selection is larger, with various lengths like 8 feet, 10 feet, and 12 feet, and brands like Everbilt. When buying at Home Depot, you need to know your door height and whether you have torsion or extension springs to get correct length, as wrong length causes door to be unbalanced or cables to fall off. Staff can help measure but may not provide installation guidance due to liability of high tension work. If you need custom length or heavy-duty cables for wood doors, specialty garage door dealers may have better selection. Professional cable replacement costing 100 to 250 dollars often includes higher quality cables and warranty, which is worth considering over DIY due to danger of handling torsion springs.
