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.
When one lift cable fails, the other has seen the same wear cycle. We replace both to prevent a repeat call.
A cable can slip its groove repeatedly if the drum itself is damaged, which we check before calling the job done.
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.
Whatever brought you here, one of these service lines is the fix, and one call gets a technician moving.
A snapped cable leaves the door hanging unevenly on the remaining side, an unsafe condition we treat as priority.
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.
Worn or cracked cable drums get replaced alongside the cable itself, since a damaged drum will fray the next cable too.
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.
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.
“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.”
An uneven hang points to a broken cable, a failed spring, or a bent track pulling the panel off-square.
Replacing just one often leads to a second failure soon after. We're upfront about that tradeoff.
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.
Cost varies with door size and whether one or both cables and drums need attention.
A snapped-cable call usually resolves in under two hours on-site.
