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.
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.
We carry the common cable lengths and gauges for most residential door sizes.
Specialized service lines covering the full range of Garage Door Cable Repair calls we take, backed by flat-rate pricing and a written warranty.
We replace the snapped cable and its pair, then verify even tension across both sides.
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.
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.”
“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.”
This almost always means one lift cable or spring has failed while the other side is still holding weight.
Both cables typically get replaced together to avoid a near-term repeat call.
This is a genuine safety hazard, especially with people or vehicles near the door opening.
We check the drum groove condition whenever a cable keeps coming off, since replacing just the cable won't fix a bad drum.
Pricing depends on cable length, gauge, and whether the drums also need replacing, confirmed as a flat number before work starts.
A snapped-cable call usually resolves in under two hours on-site.
Same-day dispatch, upfront pricing, and a written warranty on every visit.
