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.
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.
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.
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.
A cable that's jumped its drum groove can jam the door mid-cycle. We reset it correctly and check for the underlying cause.
Worn or cracked cable drums get replaced alongside the cable itself, since a damaged drum will fray the next cable too.
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.
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.”
One side losing tension while the other holds is the classic sign of a single cable or spring failure.
Both cables typically get replaced together to avoid a near-term repeat call.
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.
Pricing depends on cable length, gauge, and whether the drums also need replacing, confirmed as a flat number before work starts.
Most cable replacements are completed same-day, typically within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
