Cable replacement.

Lift cables work with your springs to raise and lower the door. A frayed or snapped cable can leave the door hanging crooked, and it needs attention right away.

Overview

What to expect

Garage door cables are under constant tension. Over time they can fray, rust or slip off the drum, especially if a spring is worn or the door is out of balance.

We replace damaged cables, reset them on the drums correctly and rebalance the door so both sides lift evenly.
