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.
Matching wear on both cables means both get inspected and typically replaced together.
Frayed cables often trace back to worn or damaged drum grooves, so we inspect the drums every time, not just the cable.
This repair sits close to stored spring energy, which is exactly why licensed handling matters here too.
Cable stock in standard gauges means most replacements happen in a single visit.
Whatever brought you here, one of these service lines is the fix, and one call gets a technician moving.
We replace the snapped cable and its pair, then verify even tension across both sides.
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.
Correcting an uneven lean means addressing the cable, checking the spring pair, and confirming the track is still square.
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.
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.”
“Caught the fraying cable during a routine call before it actually snapped. Appreciated the heads-up.”
“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.
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.
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.
Same-day dispatch, upfront pricing, and a written warranty on every visit.
