About this service
Lift cables work together with the springs to raise and lower the door. When a cable frays, jumps the drum, or snaps, the door goes off level and is unsafe to operate. We replace cables in matched pairs and re-set drum tension so the door tracks straight.
Common issues we see
- Door is crooked — one side higher than the other
- Loose cable hanging beside the door
- Cable jumped off the drum
- Rust or fraying on the cable
