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.
A cable can slip its groove repeatedly if the drum itself is damaged, which we check before calling the job done.
This repair sits close to stored spring energy, which is exactly why licensed handling matters here too.
A same-day fix is standard for cable failures, parts already on the truck.

A snapped cable leaves the door hanging unevenly on the remaining side, an unsafe condition we treat as priority.
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.
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.
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.”
“Explained why replacing just one cable wasn't a real fix. Makes sense once you see the wear pattern.”
“Same-day fix on a Saturday, cable stock right there on the truck.”
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.
We treat cable failures as priority calls given the safety risk involved.
Usually a bent or worn drum groove, sometimes combined with a slightly loose cable tension setting.
