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.
Matching wear on both cables means both get inspected and typically replaced together.
Cable replacement without a drum check is an incomplete repair, so we always look at both.
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.
If the cable keeps slipping off the drum, we look for a bent drum or misaligned track causing the repeat issue.
We match new drums to the correct diameter for your door's cable length requirements.
A door hanging crooked usually means one cable or spring has failed while the other holds. We correct both the immediate hazard and the root cause.
Tell us if the door is hanging crooked or jammed, that detail helps us prioritize the call correctly.
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.
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.”
One side losing tension while the other holds is the classic sign of a single cable or spring failure.
We recommend replacing both since they wear on the same cycle, and we'll explain the reasoning before you decide.
We treat cable failures as priority calls given the safety risk involved.
We check the drum groove condition whenever a cable keeps coming off, since replacing just the cable won't fix a bad drum.
You'll get a confirmed price on-site once the technician inspects the full cable and drum setup.
Standard cable and drum stock means same-visit repair is the norm, not the exception.
Licensed technicians, flat-rate pricing, and a truck stocked for this exact job.
