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.
A single-cable fix often means a second failure soon after. We explain the pair-replacement logic upfront.
Frayed cables often trace back to worn or damaged drum grooves, so we inspect the drums every time, not just the cable.
Lift cables connect directly to spring-loaded drums, so replacement requires the same careful tension handling as spring work.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
“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.
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.
Cost varies with door size and whether one or both cables and drums need attention.
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.
