Lift cables carry serious load alongside the springs. When one frays or snaps, we replace both cables as a pair and check the drums for wear.
A single-cable fix often means a second failure soon after. We explain the pair-replacement logic upfront.
A cable can slip its groove repeatedly if the drum itself is damaged, which we check before calling the job done.
Our technicians are trained to safely release and reset tension when cables are involved, not just the springs.
Cable stock in standard gauges means most replacements happen in a single visit.
Each service below is handled by a technician trained specifically for this kind of repair, not a generalist guessing at it.
We replace the snapped cable and its pair, then verify even tension across both sides.
Fraying cable strands are a warning sign of imminent failure. We replace before it snaps and drops the door unexpectedly.
A cable that's jumped its drum groove can jam the door mid-cycle. We reset it correctly and check for the underlying cause.
We match new drums to the correct diameter for your door's cable length requirements.
Correcting an uneven lean means addressing the cable, checking the spring pair, and confirming the track is still square.
A quick description of the lean or jam gets the right cable gauge loaded before arrival.
Cable stock on the truck means most calls avoid a second trip for parts.
We check both cables and the drums together, then quote a flat price covering the full fix.
Cables replaced, tension balanced, and the door tested level before we leave, backed by written warranty.
“Cable kept jumping the drum every few cycles. Turned out the drum itself was cracked, replaced and fixed.”
“Explained why replacing just one cable wasn't a real fix. Makes sense once you see the wear pattern.”
“Door was jamming mid-cycle for weeks. Cable and drum issue, fixed in one visit.”
An uneven hang points to a broken cable, a failed spring, or a bent track pulling the panel off-square.
We recommend replacing both since they wear on the same cycle, and we'll explain the reasoning before you decide.
Yes, a door hanging on a single cable or spring can drop unexpectedly and should not be operated until repaired.
Repeated slipping points to a drum issue rather than just the cable itself, which we'll inspect.
You'll get a confirmed price on-site once the technician inspects the full cable and drum setup.
Most cable replacements are completed same-day, typically within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
