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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
An uneven hang points to a broken cable, a failed spring, or a bent track pulling the panel off-square.
We recommend replacing both since they wear on the same cycle, and we'll explain the reasoning before you decide.
Yes, a door hanging on a single cable or spring can drop unexpectedly and should not be operated until repaired.
Usually a bent or worn drum groove, sometimes combined with a slightly loose cable tension setting.
You'll get a confirmed price on-site once the technician inspects the full cable and drum setup.
A snapped-cable call usually resolves in under two hours on-site.
