A frayed or snapped lift cable throws the whole door off balance, and a door hanging crooked on one cable is a genuine safety hazard. We replace cables and inspect the drums they wind onto.
When one lift cable fails, the other has seen the same wear cycle. We replace both to prevent a repeat call.
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.
We carry the common cable lengths and gauges for most residential door sizes.
Each service below is handled by a technician trained specifically for this kind of repair, not a generalist guessing at it.
A snapped cable leaves the door hanging unevenly on the remaining side, an unsafe condition we treat as priority.
Catching a fraying cable early avoids the sudden, uneven drop that comes with a full snap.
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.
Technicians carry standard cable gauges and lengths for most residential doors.
Diagnosis includes the drums, not just the visible cable, before any price is confirmed.
We verify the door hangs and travels evenly before calling the repair complete.
“Cable kept jumping the drum every few cycles. Turned out the drum itself was cracked, replaced and fixed.”
“Caught the fraying cable during a routine call before it actually snapped. Appreciated the heads-up.”
“Same-day fix on a Saturday, cable stock right there on the truck.”
This almost always means one lift cable or spring has failed while the other side is still holding weight.
Both cables typically get replaced together to avoid a near-term repeat call.
This is a genuine safety hazard, especially with people or vehicles near the door opening.
Usually a bent or worn drum groove, sometimes combined with a slightly loose cable tension setting.
Cost varies with door size and whether one or both cables and drums need attention.
A snapped-cable call usually resolves in under two hours on-site.
Same-day dispatch, upfront pricing, and a written warranty on every visit.
