Garage Door Cable Repair
Garage door cables work with the springs to raise and lower the door evenly. When a cable frays, slips off the drum, or snaps, the door can hang crooked, jam, or fall on one side. We replace cables, reset the drums, and rebalance the door so it runs smooth and level again.
What causes cable failure
Rust and moisture (a real factor near the bay), drums that are out of adjustment, frayed strands from age, or a cable that came off after a spring broke. Cables almost always wear in pairs, so we inspect both sides.
Why prompt repair matters
A door hanging by one cable is under uneven tension and can come off the track or drop unexpectedly. It's not safe to keep operating — this is a same-day repair.
