Cable Pairs Replaced Together

When one lift cable fails, the other has seen the same wear cycle. We replace both to prevent a repeat call.

Drum & Groove Inspection Included

Frayed cables often trace back to worn or damaged drum grooves, so we inspect the drums every time, not just the cable.

Safe Handling Under Spring Tension

FAQ

Garage Door Cable Repair Questions, Answered

This almost always means one lift cable or spring has failed while the other side is still holding weight.

We recommend replacing both since they wear on the same cycle, and we'll explain the reasoning before you decide.

Yes, a door hanging on a single cable or spring can drop unexpectedly and should not be operated until repaired.

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.
