Uneven cable wear on one side often points to a misaligned track we'll also flag.
We use cables rated to your door's actual weight and spring tension.
Every job includes a post-repair tension and balance check.
Catching fraying before it snaps is far safer than an emergency call after.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — we replace it before that happens.
A cable that's already snapped usually means the door dropped or hangs crooked — we stabilize it before beginning repair.
A cable that's slipped off its drum causes uneven hanging — we re-seat it and correct the underlying cause.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — it's a quick, affordable safety upgrade.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — this is a less obvious but equally important part of the system.
Reach a live dispatcher at +1-866-597-3069 and describe what's going on with your door.
