A frayed or snapped lift cable throws the whole door off balance, and a door hanging crooked on one cable is a genuine safety hazard. We replace cables and inspect the drums they wind onto.
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.
Cable stock in standard gauges means most replacements happen in a single visit.
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.
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.
Tell us if the door is hanging crooked or jammed, that detail helps us prioritize the call correctly.
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.
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.”
“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.
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.
