    EXPERTISE & REPAIR

    Crooked Door or Snapped Cable? We Can Help.

    Garage door lift cables work in tandem with springs to raise your door. A snapped cable leaves the door hanging at a dangerous angle.

    Frayed cables, rusted strands, or cables that have slipped off the cable drum require immediate technician attention. Operating a door with cable damage can bend track channels, pop rollers out, or cause the heavy door to crash down.

    Our certified technicians replace worn aircraft-grade steel cables, inspect drum grooves, realign the door assembly, and restore proper tension on both sides.

    Cable Repair Service Includes

    • Immediate stabilization of off-level garage door
    • Removal of damaged or corroded lift cables
    • Installation of heavy-duty braided steel aircraft cables
    • Cable drum alignment & set screw torque verification
    • Torsion spring re-tensioning & balance test
    • Safety reverse sensor & roller channel check

    Warning Signs of Cable Failure

    Catch cable issues early before your door becomes inoperable.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Common Questions About Garage Door Cable & Drum Repair

    Why did my garage door cable pop off the drum?+
    Cables usually slip off if the door hits an obstruction on the way down, if a spring breaks, or if the door tracks are misaligned.
    Is it safe to pull a hanging cable back onto the pulley myself?+
    No. The cables are attached to high-tension bottom brackets. Never attempt to adjust cable assemblies without releasing spring tension first.
