Uneven cable wear on one side often points to a misaligned track we'll also flag.
Cable diameter and length get matched to your specific drum configuration.
Cables work under spring tension — we release tension safely before replacement.
Cables are common stock on our trucks, so most jobs finish in one visit.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — we inspect both cables even when only one shows visible wear.
A cable that's already snapped usually means the door dropped or hangs crooked — emergency replacement is stocked specifically because this can't wait.
A cable that's slipped off its drum causes uneven hanging — worn or cracked drums get replaced rather than reused.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — we add these where missing.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — we repair or replace it as part of cable service.

"""Second cable was close to going too. Glad they checked both instead of just the one that snapped."""
"""Noticed a few frayed strands and called before it got worse. Tech said it was close to snapping."""
"""Cable snapped and the door dropped crooked. They stabilized it fast and had it fixed same day."""
"""Didn't know safety cables were even a thing until they pointed out mine were missing."""
"""Quick, professional, explained exactly what was worn and why."""
If only one shows wear, we'll say so rather than upsell the second.
A door suddenly hanging crooked is another common indicator.
Don't attempt to operate the door manually until it's inspected.
The injury risk is similar to spring replacement.
Many older doors were installed without them — we can add them as a standalone upgrade.
