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.
Cable replacement without a drum check is an incomplete repair, so we always look at both.
Our technicians are trained to safely release and reset tension when cables are involved, not just the springs.
A same-day fix is standard for cable failures, parts already on the truck.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We check the drum groove condition whenever a cable keeps coming off, since replacing just the cable won't fix a bad drum.
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.
