One cable slipping off its drum groove is enough to jam a door mid-cycle or send a panel crashing at an angle. We fix the cable and check why it slipped in the first place.
Matching wear on both cables means both get inspected and typically replaced together.
Cable replacement without a drum check is an incomplete repair, so we always look at both.
This repair sits close to stored spring energy, which is exactly why licensed handling matters here too.
We carry the common cable lengths and gauges for most residential door sizes.
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.
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.
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.
Diagnosis includes the drums, not just the visible cable, before any price is confirmed.
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.”
“Caught the fraying cable during a routine call before it actually snapped. Appreciated the heads-up.”
“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.
We check the drum groove condition whenever a cable keeps coming off, since replacing just the cable won't fix a bad drum.
Cost varies with door size and whether one or both cables and drums need attention.
Standard cable and drum stock means same-visit repair is the norm, not the exception.
Licensed technicians, flat-rate pricing, and a truck stocked for this exact job.
