LET’S FIX THE CABLE
Tell us what happened.
A loose cable, a door hanging unevenly, a loud snap—whatever you noticed, let us know. We’ll get in touch to arrange the next step.
WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE
Four signs your cables need attention.
You don’t have to know which part failed. These are useful details to share when you call.
A loose cable
The cable hangs away from the door instead of staying under tension. The reason may be elsewhere in the system.
Off the drum
The cable has slipped from the round drum above the opening. The door may sit lower on one side.
A broken cable
A cable has snapped or come apart, leaving the door stuck, tilted or difficult to move.
MORE THAN A CABLE
Find the reason it failed. Fix the whole problem.
A cable can wear out on its own, but it can also come loose after a spring breaks or a door shifts. Simply winding it back up won’t solve a problem elsewhere in the system.
We look at the cables, drums and attachment points along with the door’s alignment and spring support. Then we walk you through what we found and what it will take to get the door working properly again.
