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.
A cable can slip its groove repeatedly if the drum itself is damaged, which we check before calling the job done.
Our technicians are trained to safely release and reset tension when cables are involved, not just the springs.
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.
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.
If the cable keeps slipping off the drum, we look for a bent drum or misaligned track causing the repeat issue.
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.
Cable stock on the truck means most calls avoid a second trip for parts.
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.
Repeated slipping points to a drum issue rather than just the cable itself, which we'll inspect.
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.
