Lift cables carry serious load alongside the springs. When one frays or snaps, we replace both cables as a pair and check the drums for wear.
When one lift cable fails, the other has seen the same wear cycle. We replace both to prevent a repeat call.
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.
We carry the common cable lengths and gauges for most residential door sizes.
Each service below is handled by a technician trained specifically for this kind of repair, not a generalist guessing at it.
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.
A cable that's jumped its drum groove can jam the door mid-cycle. We reset it correctly and check for the underlying cause.
Worn or cracked cable drums get replaced alongside the cable itself, since a damaged drum will fray the next cable too.
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.
A quick description of the lean or jam gets the right cable gauge loaded before arrival.
Technicians carry standard cable gauges and lengths for most residential doors.
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.”
“Door was jamming mid-cycle for weeks. Cable and drum issue, fixed in one visit.”
One side losing tension while the other holds is the classic sign of a single cable or spring failure.
Both cables typically get replaced together to avoid a near-term repeat call.
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.
Cost varies with door size and whether one or both cables and drums need attention.
Most cable replacements are completed same-day, typically within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
