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.
A single-cable fix often means a second failure soon after. We explain the pair-replacement logic upfront.
Cable replacement without a drum check is an incomplete repair, so we always look at both.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Both cables typically get replaced together to avoid a near-term repeat call.
Yes, a door hanging on a single cable or spring can drop unexpectedly and should not be operated until repaired.
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.
A snapped-cable call usually resolves in under two hours on-site.
Same-day dispatch, upfront pricing, and a written warranty on every visit.
