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.
Frayed cables often trace back to worn or damaged drum grooves, so we inspect the drums every time, not just the cable.
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.
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.
“Door was hanging at an angle after a cable snapped. They replaced both cables and it's perfectly level now.”
“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.”
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.
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.
Same-day dispatch, upfront pricing, and a written warranty on every visit.
